Jill's Journal: All little kids look forward to their birthdays, but no one in our family looks forward to hers more than Madelyn. She’s been counting down for months. Every day she tells us exactly how many days are left until she turns six. We’re down to just three days (three excruciatingly-long days in her book) until the big day.
When it worked out to take her birthday pictures just a couple of days early, she was only too pleased to oblige. You can’t always choose your photographers carefully when you’re on the road or when it’s this close to the busy photography season of Christmas (and this particular photographer must have left her personality at home today). But Madelyn is a pro. In the five or 10 minutes it took to snap 20 pictures, Madelyn happily posed and smiled as if she does this every day of her life.
This one is my favorite because it’s
her. I see this expression all the time.
Aren’t these shoes the greatest? She’s pretty proud of them. We may have found them on the discount rack, but they were made for her.
We love, love,
love this almost 6-year-old little girl.
She may keep us on our toes every minute of every day, but the amount of joy she brings into our lives is irreplaceable.

Wow, 6. I can't believe she's almost 6! I remember when she was a tiny little smiling baby.
Her pictures are wonderful as usual. My favorite is the 2nd from the bottom of the post, but I love them all. She's a beautiful, sweet, happy little girl. We miss her!
Happy Birthday, Sweet Madelyn!!!
Love,
The Blom Girls
p.s. Did the box happen to arrive before you left?!
