On this day ...
Nine years ago, I became a dad, Jen became a mom, and the world was introduced to a little girl with endless curiosity, breathtaking creativity, and boundless love for others -- especially for others that are furry. The only thing bigger than her personality is our pride in her.

Happy Birthday, Madeleine! You're half-way to voting age!

Wow, if ever a picture could capture spirit, that would be it! Happy Birthday to Miss Mada from Me too!
How is it possible that Jen has a nine year old? She looks not a day over 23!
Happy birthday Madeleine!
