Welcome Back to the Tea Room

One year ago today, this blog was set up: July 16, 2009. For every day since, there's been at least one entry placed in an attempt to record all the things that Madison has done, and all the times we have shared with her.

Naturally, we can't capture every little detail. But with written word, we can capture a lot more than our memories can contain. This was set up as narrative about Madison's life, and a posting to let others know what she's up to as we go about on our journey with her. But all along we also know this blog is a love letter to our beautiful daughter, to remind her how much we love her. She'll read it later on, and see the happy times we shared together, many days of which will barely sit on the edge of her memory.

It's been an amazing year, just as incredible as the one before. And just like that, two years have flown by: over seven hundred and forty-five days, each one gliding by on our adventure with Madison. So much has happened, and I'm glad I've made certain to continue my entries for each day. I don't want to miss a moment - and at the same time, this blog challenges us to make every single day the most it can be with our daughter.

So thanks for joining us in the Tea Room. The next year promises amazing surprises, starting with a change in location and a thrilling vacation.

But the biggest adventure with Madison always starts ...on the very next day.
