HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY, M1!!!!!

It is M1's 8th Birthday today! I first can't believe you are 8 years old already!! I can remember the night I learned you had made your safe arrival!!



I was on my mission . . serving in Southfield with Sister Pixton. We had a fabulous member, who was also a ward missionary, that would e-mail our families once in a while to let them know how we were! Missionaries weren't allowed to e-mail at that time. Anyway, we were eating dinner with her and then headed out to a new member discussion with the Taylor family. When we arrived for dinner, she told me she had received an e-mail from Grammy with pictures of my new niece! She would print them out for me right after the discussion!! We went back to her house and she printed out the 8x11 picture of you! You were definitely a beautiful baby! I was so excited that your mom and dad finally had a baby!!!



Later, Grammy sent a picture of Grandma Jane holding you . . . it was just a thumb size photo and I glued it on the inside of my scriptures.



You are such a special little girl! I hope you know how much I love you! You have this amazing way with your little sisters and cousin! Kaiya talks about you all the time! I have finally taken advantage of her love for her and often use you as an example of how she should be! You are always so willing to give up something you have for her to play with . . . . she are very courteous to everyone! Thank you Madison for setting such a wonderful example for her! I am so excited that she gets to attend your baptism . . . the first baptism she will ever go to!



Madison, remember we all love you very much and no matter what! Happy Birthday! I hope it was GREAT!!!


Lots of love!
