God's most precious gift!!

Madison's 1st Dentist Appointment

Madison had an appointment to see the Dentist for the very first time. Of course me being a worry wart I had to check out the Dr's credentials and such. He has a great track record of dealing with children so this put me at ease. I had read a couple of books to Madison about going to the Dentist so she was excited to go and get a new toothbrush! The first picture was prior to her visit and the rest of the pictures are pretty much in order. The final picture was so sweet and one of my favorites. The Dentist just made Madison feel so super important and like a princess!! She loves the Dentist now and I'm sooooooooooooo thankful.

This is Madion's primary teacher Sister Ellison. Madison is so excited to go every week b/c Sister Ellison does such a wonderful job with explaining the Gospel to the little ones. Madison loves to sing and tells me what happens in her class every week. I'm so thankful for the Gospel and that it has provided stability in our lives.
