"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope". Jeremiah 29:11


Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble". Matthew 6:28b-34

Madeline Catherine Slayton

Many of you already know about our little girl because she's 11 weeks old already! Maddie was born on Feb. 28th. I had a c-section that went very well, and Maddie is absolutely perfect. Kelvin went in the OR with me so we got to meet our girly right away. Words can't explain our joy. God is so good!



Right from the start Madeline has been fun to watch with her different postures. In some photos she's holding her ear & sucking fingers, another she's got her arm over her eyes like "whew, what a day!"




We had a dedication service at our church and this is the beautiful dress that was made special for Maddie by a good friend. It'll be a family treasure!






Two of my favorite photos. Thoughtful and peaceful.





Maddie all dressed up for church. I made the dress at Christmas, I guess I was hoping against hope that we'd have a girl. The sweater and the bonnet were a gift-Maddie wears it all the time.


I know this post is long past due, & pretty short, but better than nothing ;) Maddie's finally big enough to nurse one-handed if I'm sitting down & stable, so I can type & feed-maybe I'll keep up with posting a little better!
