Maddie turned 12 years old today and I can't believe it! She graduated from Primary, got her Faith in God award, went to her first Young Women class, had a birthday brunch before church and before Amy left to go back to BYU, and got a "going-away" present from her beloved Primary teacher.
One day a few years ago, Maddie came up to me and said, "Mommy, when I was a 'surprise baby,' was I a GOOD surprise?" It brought tears to my eyes that she could even wonder otherwise. She was SUCH a good surprise, one I can't imagine living without. I am DEFINITELY not ready for an empty nest. I thank Heavenly Father every single day for this ray of sunshine in our lives. Happy birthday, Maddie. We love you so much!!

I think she was a good surprise to. I am SUPER glad that Maddie was born because I don't know what I would do without her.
