seven.

better late than never, right?

this kid deserves a whole lot more, 

but let's face it, we are in the dog days of summer,

and i am busy.
and tired.
and very, very pregnant.

we did take a full weekend to celebrate our little gem,

ada madeline.

she is sparkly and wonderful,

helpful and witty,

truly a sunny spot in every day.

i LOVE spending time together, just she and i.

she is so smart and thoughtful, 

i seriously could not have asked for a more wonderful person

to be in my life.

and she is mine.

happy seventh birthday my girl!

i love you more than you will ever know.

ps- i forgot to charge the camera before her birthday, so i only have iphone pictures.  and, we have yet to take an official birthday picture.  did i mention we have been busy?
