Happy New Year!

Hi Everyone,

This weekend marks our one year Anniversary of coming home to the U.S.
I received Madison on Christmas Day 2006 and we arrived back in New York on January 7th. What a year it has been. It has been a year of many "firsts" for us. Maddie is learning more words every day. She is counting and loves to sing with her microphone. She loves to do puzzles and draw. She learned to like swimming and loves to ride in boats. She has made so many friends since she has been home and plays with them all often. We went to several zoos and museums this year and even went to the planetarium. Maddie had her first real birthday party with all of her friends this year and quickly learned who Santa Claus was and that he is the one who brings lots of present, which she calls "HoHo prizes". We went on vacation to Ireland last fall and will be going to Fort Lauderdale soon to visit friends and play on the beach. She has such a joy for life, I count my blessings every day. Here's looking to 2008 and all of the adventures that are in store! Happy New Year everyone and Best Wishes to you and yours!
Amy and Maddie
