    I LLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEE this picture!
    It’s also my favorite one of her so far.

    check out ARTSCOW dot com – they run specials weekly on stuff like printing on canvas, etc. and this would look GREAT that way. Never do anything without free shipping as the deal, though, it comes from Hong Kong. Like $10 for a huge print, and I have been happpy every time. Well, once they sent a print of some asian dude and his kid, but they fixed it quick.
    Amazing pik, didn’t Liz have one with a cowboy hat on or something, the whole picture looks familiar, and it’s not just the kid.
    (ps – KWIW, I think she looks like her daddy)

    She looks just like Liz here. I remembered a picture of her wearing a cowboy hat.

    This would be one of Liz’s favorites too!

    Just adorable.

    Matt, is that Liz’s hat she’s wearing? Is it the same hat that Liz is wearing in one of the LLF website pictures? If it is a side by side picture of Maddie and mom would be beautiful. Your two best girls. :)

    An incredibly beautiful child! Her eyes are gorgeous and she always looks as though she is thinking about something, a wise girl!

  33. Posted 9/13/2009 at 1:42 am | Permalink

    Oh, this is *definitely* my favorite of your sweet girl!!!! I just love it! She looks so much like Liz’s pictures. Have you ever seen the photo paint-by-numbers…where you send in a personal pic, and then send you back the pic, along with a canvas, and specialized paints to “paint” the exact picture? Or the ones where they just make a painting from the picture? If it it were me, I’d want this picture everywhere. Of course, it’s *not* me. :)

    This is absolutely beautiful. You get a glimpse at what a beautiful soul she is. As I was looking through all of your pictures it became very clear when you were struggling the most with your loss. What a blessing Madeline has been to you and to all of your readers.

    Gorgeous picture! Uh, not trying to be completely random, but I totally thought of this pic in an old Eloise Wilkin book I loved as a child called “Where Did the Baby Go?” This is the only place I could find it online…several pictures down. :)

    This pic of madeline is my Absolute Favorite! She is such a special lil girl and is very lucky to be loved so much by so many people. Its a funny coincidence my daughter Gracelyn Jade was born 4/25/08 at 12:56am and weighed 4lbs and 14oz – I was amazed how many similarities your daughter and mine have. You give me hope everytime I see how much you love your daughter and even liz still – My daughters father wants nothing to do with her. So I love coming here and seeing your pics, it just gives me an overall since of happiness and sadness all at the same time.

    Thanks

    Bobbi and Gracelyn
