Madeline's first trip to the 'country'









My husband, Madeline, and I went out to the country today. We buy our meat products from the Amish - therefore, Madeline saw her very first horse and buggy today. She was amazed, squealing and pointing! She looked for the horse that rode by for at least the next five minutes. She quickly fell asleep for the nice long ride home!
On March 14, Eddie, Madeline and I went to file paperwork for her re-adoption. Today her re-adopt became final. She is officially Madeline Eliana. The day before we filed paperwork I paniced over her name. Now you all know that I have changed this poor child's name at least five times since I got her referral. I really wanted to keep Noelia, it is such a beautiful name but Madeline Ann Noelia or Madeline Noelia Ann was just too long - hence us combining the two names. Ann is my middle name and it was very important to me for her to have a part of my name. Our next daughter will have a name ending in 'ana' as well.
