Two days in a row!

I am on day two of being consistent with this blog. My goal is to post a picture a day for at least a year so that I am recording the "simple things" in life. These are a reminder of the gifts that God gives us on a daily basis. I don't want to miss these moments because I am too busy. So, here we go. Some days I won't even write anything, just post a picture. But today, I thought I would write a little about one of these pictures. Madison Hixson is a gift from God. She is 10 years old. To some, 10 years old may mean nothing. But to Madi and her family and friends, 10 is a milestone. You see, there was a time when we did not think that Madi would survive to her 10th birthday. She was diagnosed with malignant brain cancer at the age of 3. It was a difficult time and more than once she could've died. She has been cancer free for 5 years and on Saturday, her family and friends will celebrate her birthday and her freedom from an awful disease. Madi is one of the sweetest, Godly young girls that I have ever been around. She is Dallas' best buddy and such a gift from God. The second picture speaks for itself. We are blessed with grandmas and grandpas who invest in the lives of our kids.
