Meet my sister in law, Janna, her fiance, Josh and my precious, fireball niece, Madeline (or as I like to call her, boom-boom).  Janna and Josh are finally tying the knot on the 7th of August!  I’m so happy for them, and of course for Maddie who absolutely adores Josh and now has a “daddy”.  Janna and Josh are happy in love and have one of those stories that could make a movie….  I’ll save this for their wedding post!

Janna and Josh—You’ve heard the Irish blessing, “May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past”….  This is my prayer for you.    I believe that you are going to fall deeper in deeper in love with each day—with each other, and as a family.  I love you guys!

Ellie, the elephant that Maddie’s constantly clutching, is the gift  that Jesse and I gave her at the hospital the day she was born, 5 years ago.  I’m so honored that it’s her favorite toy.
