I can't believe you are eight already! Dad was just commenting how in eight more years you'll be driving. Yikes!! That is so crazy. We are so proud of what a wonderful little girl you have turned into in these past eight years, and we know that you will continue to be wonderful in the next eight. Madison is such a funny, talented, kind hearted little girl. At the little kids' birthday party she was such a great help. She was the one to try to get the kids who were feeling left out, to participate and she kept the conversation going when no one knew what to say. She never complains about fulfilling her big sister duties if you tell her how much her brothers and sisters look up to her and love her and it is true. They really do. All the kids want to sleep on Maddies floor when they are scared and they love it when she reads to them which she loves to do. Mad is getting so big so fast and we are just happy for the time she gets to spend with our family. She is crazy when she is at home and the most comfortable. Thanks Mad for being a good example to your brothers and sisters and to dad and I. You are an adorable little girl and we couldn't ask for a better daughter. You're the best!
