Madelyn Jean

March 28th, at 1:20 in the afternoon Ryan and I welcomed into the world our sweet sweet daughter Madelyn Jean DeVries. She weighed in at 7lbs 14oz and was 19 1/2 inches. She is absolutely beautiful and perfect in every way. I never would have imagined how blessed and whole I would feel after the loss I suffered in the miscarriage. God ALWAYS knows what He is doing, and He ALWAYS has a plan in mind. I'm so glad He chose to give us Madelyn. She is the perfect final missing piece to our family that makes it complete.

Evan's Birthday

Evan's fourth birthday was so much fun. I LOVED making his Diego cake. It was so much fun seeing him get so excited about everything Diego. His Diego fascination has calmed down a bit, however he still loves him. He had a great party which was quite busy with all of his cousins there, but we had a great time. It was fun watching Evan enjoy his special day.

So this is so outdated. Oh well. Better late than never I suppose. I never posted pictures of Christmas or Evan's fourth birthday. (I can't believe I have a four year old! The things he says are out of this world!) Anyway, I'll start with a few of Christmas, which was four months ago already! Crazy! Here is Alivia at my parent's on Christmas. It was so much fun this year watching the kids open presents. It was awesome to share in their excitement.

Here are some of the Kapenga family Christmas. It's crazy to think there are two more babies in the mix now. Our family just keeps growing!
