{Maddox turns 9}

Oh Maddox. You never quit! Your teacher loves you to bits this year and says that you pretty much can do anything so long as you flash that big smile and scrunchy nose with those blue eyes. You have us all wrapped around your finger. & you know it. We love you so much! Your birthday was low key but fun. Oma & Opa were here to party with us! We kicked off the day with donuts and presents and celebrated you until you fell asleep. We are so glad you are ours. I still testify that you were hand picked for me! You and I were meant to be together from the start!
