For those of you who frequent our blog you know that Maddox's best friend (sometimes called his "sister") in Augusta was a little girl (Alli) that was 11 months older than him. We feel that God has not replaced Alli, but simply filled a void for Maddox. We have been blessed to move in next door to a family with a little girl that is 9 months older than Maddox. Their names are the Ainsworths (Mike, Carrie, Alexa Kate, & Sanders). Alexa Kate and Maddox play so well together and we have already had some really good times!
Last Thursday, Carrie invited Maddox and I to go the Geyser Falls with some friends from their church. We were also joined by Lucy and Mary Gaston Blair. Although Maddox was having one of "his days" it was a lot of fun.... that place is Awesome!!!!!!

I am truly glad that Maddox has another little girlfriend to help ease this transition, and you should be, too. My poor baby, on the other hand, is frequently in tears over her now-absent friend. As recently as 2 days ago, she burst into tears, and all she would say was, "I miss Maddox, Mommy! PLEASE take me to Jack-ess Mississippi to visit him!!" She is having such a hard time ~ from thinking I wasn't "letting her" play with him, to creating an imaginary "Other Maddox, " to just missing him.... These things are hard on little ones, and I am glad that Maddox's transition has been made easier. Pray that Alli begins to have an easier time!! We look forward to seeing y'all in a few weeks!!
