Last week mommy had a new baby starting at her daycare, he is the sweetest little thing!
His name is Ian we met him at your playgroup back in June when he was only 5 weeks old!!!! Ian is extra special like you, and he is just so precious!
At first you wern't very "fond" of him! You would take his blankies and you didn't like us holding him!
 But now you love him!
(Holding him with Mandas help!)
Ian is such a sweet baby and I just know you were as sweet as him when you were a baby!
I wish you were here in our family when you were a baby but God knew you would come home on March 30th 2011!!! And I'm so glad mommy and daddy fell in love with that brown-eyed, fuzzy red-head baby that they saw in a picture last year!
This is the baby boy, this is YOU the little boy that pulled at mommy and daddys heart that is YOU Vahnya! The little boy that God told mommy and daddy to adopt the little boy that brightens my day and makes me smile the little boy that I can't imagine my life without! You are the most amazing little brother anyone could imagine (along with our brother Jordan) I look at the very few "baby" pictures we have of you and I just wish we could have had you with us when you were that age! I wish I could have said "Happy Birthday" to you on the 3 birthdays you spent without us, but you will spend many birthdays with us in the future! We might not have been able to kiss you and have a great big birthday party on your 1st birthday but we will be able to do that on your 4th birthday! I know I say this in a lot of my "letters" to you but its true, YOU have blessed my life so so so so so much and I cannot imagine life without you! I love you so much baby boy!!!!!!!

Forever and Always
Love sissy Madison!
