A Whole Hand

Maddox Ren Drafts
 The one day you have looked forward to all year long has finally arrived - you are FIVE today!  
 At the age of five, you are all about being your own little person - pink boots are always on those little feet!  Pink and purple are your favorite colors and you love to incorporate them into your clothing for each day when possible.  
 You tell us you would like to be a doctor when you grow up, "I want to be a doctor like Ms. Doc Stuffins - a toy doctor, ok?"  Your favorite food is yogurt of any kind - greek, organic, the not-so-organic drinkables, frozen...
Singing is your favorite thing to do - your favorite song to date is "Bears, Bears, We Got No Cares..." The funny thing is that it is a catchy little song and we all chime in to sing with you!  The music from Frozen is a close second!
You are our heart, sweet girl!  Recently we flew to China to bring home your baby sister.  We worried about you - after all, you have been the baby for more than three years and you have enjoyed that place in our family!  However, you have embraced the new big sister title with grace and you cannot get enough of Maryn!  
Recently after we said a prayer thanking your birth mom for giving you life, you chimed in, "Mommy, I wish you were my mommy always...I wish you had me in your tummy."  I hugged you tight and assured you that God's plan was for me to love you forever and for both of us to thank your birth mom always that she chose to give you life!  
You are a gem, a treasure to our souls!  We love you with all of our hearts and we are forever grateful that we were chosen to be the family who will celebrate you forever!
Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!
2 Corinthians 9:15
