Family Picture


Yesterday, Maddy's Kindergarten class was instructed to draw a picture of their family. They were to place themselves in the middle with lines connecting to their family members around them. My heart was immediately touched when she showed this picture to me and I about burst into tears like I am right now as I type. It touches my heart to know that Maddy feels I, her step-mom, is considered part of 'her' family. A day doesn't go by where I don't think how lucky and blessed I am that these 3 wonderful kids include me in their lives and are patient with me as a first time mother. I know they may not always think that, but for now, I will bask in the warm feeling a picture like this brings to me. It makes it all worth it.


Thank you, Maddy for this picture. You have no idea what it means to me. LOVE YOU!

Sorry, the picture turned out pretty light...but you get the idea.

What a cute pic of Maddy....but, i must say that hair on her makes her look soooooo grown up.
