MY BRAVEHEART
Prepared for any adventure life takes me on.
Have I mentioned that Maddox has no fear? She continues to amaze me with each passing day. This weekend we were invited by some great friends to go tobogganing behind a four wheeler. These new friends have captured our hearts as we watch their love for our children unfold. This just doesn’t happen anymore, or at least I didn’t think it would happen to us. We are blessed with the most amazing support system. Thank you. (In addition to my real time friends, I also have to thank my followers, the prayers and all the positive comments you have written has warmed my insides).
The first few photos are from this weekend. At first Maddox was a little scared but by the end of the ride she had her hands in the air shouting, “Go, go, go!”

As I am reflecting on how proud I am that we packed up the car with both kids and went on our tobogganing adventure I am also thinking about my personal bravery and accomplishments during the last two years. Despite having some bad days in which I parented on autopilot, I was still able to provide Maddox with some tender experiences. These experiences are what has made her the fearless fighter she is todays. I decided to post some memories. As I scroll through them, I smile.
She loves the water. First I enrolled her in swimming lessons. I will never forget telling the instructor she HAS to learn to swim, that way if she ever get’s lost, I will know she isn’t drowning in a nearby lake.
Well, lessons turned in to outdoor pools.

She graduated from the outdoor pools to water parks.

Then one day the magic happened. She sat on the ledge.
And my fearless fighter, JUMPED!!!
If the water is way too cold, Maddox always finds a way to stay afloat!

Last year, she set sail in a REAL boat!!
My braveheart attempts anything!
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles!!
Sometimes she prefers to get around traditionally! She never shows fear with horses.

Or any animal for that matter!

You can’t ever take you eyes off Maddox or things like this will happen! And yes, she did all these herself!

Whether my little one is sitting around or hanging around,

She’s always full of surprises.
I pray her determination never fails as her fearlessness truly defines her.
Maddox Lucille, keep on living, you are unstoppable.
Peace out.
