If Isaac is the masculine name in the Bible for "laughter," the girl name must be Madelyn. Our Madelyn is 4 years old and hysterically funny. She thinks "outside the box," mispronounces more than her fair share of words, and loves to sing, dance and laugh.
We are reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to the girls at night. Madelyn can't seem to get the name right and calls it "The Lion, the Witch, and the Woodle" :) After we read, we have the girls tell us about the story in their own words. Last night I asked Madelyn to tell me what Father Christmas had brought to Peter. She answered (correctly) a shield. When asked about Lucy, she answered (almost correctly) some medicine. Then came Susan. Madelyn thought and thought and finally yelled out, "A baking set!!!". The correct answer - a bow :)
How thankful I am for this little one who has come so far in the past 3 years. She was an underdeveloped, underweight, overwhelmed little beauty when she was placed in our arms at the age of 11 months. Thank you Lord for blessing us with this sweet, precious cutie.

A woodle? That is so cute. Sometimes I wish they could always stay little. She is such a precious gift from the Lord.
