Tammy and Madi

We had the incredible experience this week of having our first child. What a sweet little girl Madi is. We absolutely love her! We are so grateful to Mindy and Tammy for making everything so wonderful and so comfortable for us. We were blessed to spend most of Friday with Mindy and were able to get to know her better and watch her tenderness with our little Madi. We will ALWAYS love Mindy and we are so thankful to be part of this miracle.
