Innocence!

Donovan here, making a rare blogging appearance! I'll let Cat take a break this time around!

Cat and I were busy getting Madelyn ready for her bath tonight going through the usual routines, when we came to a new level of understanding of our love for her, and our bonds as a family. It dawned on us the true meaning of innocence.

Madelyn can't lie.

She doesn't have the ability to hide her emotions, mask her feelings, or act one way when she feels another inside.

What you see is what you get with her, and tonight we came to the realization that every movement, every cry, every thought, is pure, 100% honest.

Cat and I are incredibly blessed to have a child who can't control her smiles when we walk in the room, her laughter when we tickle her, and her excitement when we pick her up, or sing to her. She doesn't have a care in the world, and when she smiles, it comes from a place so deep within her, it's impossible to not be inspired and uplifted.

It almost makes us feel that after all the worrying, sleep deprivation, and formula stained clothing, the two of us must be doing something right!

Correction.

The three of us....

Time to put my family to bed.... Feeling incredibly lucky tonight. Goodnight everyone!
