Today was Madeline's first birthday. We had her Godparents & their family over for dinner to celebrate. As you may have learned from our last posting, Maddie successfully mastered walking on her own 2 days ago, though she has regressed a little after that initial accomplishment. She's a happy, proud little girl, and a true blessing to us.

A little bit for Baby...

And a little bit for Maddie!

And a kiss to seal the deal.


A pretty dress from Grandma & Grandpa Bergmann.

And a story to read with Godmother Judy.
