Two Girls

It is hard to believe that Madelyn is almost eight weeks old!! As most people are aware Matt, and I decided early on not to find out the gender of our peanut before we would meet him/her.  We did not find out with Brynn, and enjoyed the suprise.  However, with this one there were moments of temptations.  Moments of hesitation when the ultra sound tech asked "Do you want to find out gender?" and I was at the verge of finding out.  So, we had it put in an enevelope, and envelope we stored in my glove box of the van.  Then there were moments where the doctors office "slipped",and told us what they believed. Those slip ups made us believe we were going to meet a little boy in June instead of our little Madelyn. Finally, we had the opinions of others, that "thought" they knew. So, when Madelyn arrived we were SUPRISED, and had not quite picked a name.  We had the "list", and Brynn had a second list.  Together we narrowed it down to Madelyn Grace.  She goes by Madelyn or Madelyn Grace. (Brynn was disappointed as it was not Ansley)  Brynn has connected Madelyn Grace with the song: Amazing Grace.  She sings it to her over and over, and calls it "Madelyn's Song."   So, we have been given an amazing gift two daughters.  Daughters that we have been entrusted to love, discipline, and raise to be Godly woman. At times it seems overwhelming. It is day by day, week by week, and year by year we pray and work at nurturing and loving these girls in effort to raise them to walk in a wise way one day.  We are  trying to embrace each stage, and notice the unique personality traits each one has.  So, I have taken a few moments to reflect on what makes each one unique and special at this point.
