mady's 1st birthday slideshow
DESCRIPTION
I created this slideshow for Mady as a kind of "photo video" for her to have documenting her first year of experiences and milestones. Thought it would be a neat "photo album" for her to have when she's older...TRANSCRIPT

“Everybody knows that
the sweetest thing that you’ll ever see in the
whole wide world is a
happy girl!”
Mady, On April 8, 2008 you came into the world and made Mommy and Daddy fall in love all over again. You are the most precious blessing we have ever received and every night we thank God for you. Looking back, it seems that this year has flown by so quickly….too quickly. While we will miss these times that are behind us, we can’t feel sad because we have enjoyed every minute of watching you learn and grow. You have the most amazing spirit and you bring joy to every person you come into contact with. Already, you have touched so many people in such an extraordinary way…. you are extraordinary.
In just one short year, you have brought Daddy and Mommy more laughter, more happiness, and more love than we ever imagined possible. You truly are our pride and joy! We are simply amazed by your brilliance and beauty everyday. We look forward to many more birthdays and opportunities to reflect on how you’ve grown and marvel at all the accomplishments you have achieved!!! Happy 1st Birthday Madelyn Grace! We love you always!!! ~Daddy and Mommy April 8, 2009
