Happy Belated Thanksgiving & 16 Months

I'm a bit late on this post.  I actually started it the night before Thanksgiving to avoid this scenario, and well, what do you know, here we are.  OOOOPS!  Actually, although it's the 29th, I think the date of the post is still on the 24th, so I might be safe!!

Happy belated Thanksgiving to All and Happy belated 16 Months, Maddyx! 

Maddyx, you gave us so very much to be thankful for this year.  Your smile, your laugh, your hugs, your kisses, your beautiful eyes, and all the love you've brought in to our hearts, that we never thought we'd know. 

This year, we are thankful for Maddyx.  He is such a beautiful spirit and continues to amaze me with his gentle soul and happy demeanor.  This little boy has been through way too much in the short 16 months that he's been alive.  That said, he continues to show us each and every day how resilient he really is, and how capable he is to love and trust us as his parents.  Sometimes I forget all of the loss he has experienced.  Maybe I choose to forget because it just hurts my heart so much to think about.

You are home now, and we promise to always do our best to be everything you need and desire. 
On Thanksgiving Eve we spent some time at the park, checking out the ducks.

Maybe not.  Wasn't in the mood to walk that day.  And he sure let us know!

Spending time with Papa on Thanksgiving.  That's one way to get up the stairs.

Maddyx & his Great Grammy!  I sure wish he could of taken his finger out of his mouth for maybe a second!  Sheesh.

  3. Wonderful pictures of Maddyx and the rest of the family. I especially love the way he made it to the top of the stairs without even touching his feet on the ground. Happy 16 months!
