Nine Months Old!

Cadence is 9 months old today! We will see her in 2 weeks and be home with her before she turns 10 months ... yay! It is starting to get really exciting and emotional and scary and STRESSFUL! As anxious as I am to get there ... I'm equally anxious to get home!
I received the most exquisite gift from my friend Martha and her daughter Madison today ... I should not have expected anything less ... these ladies have FINE taste ...

Thank you so much!!!
