Before we left Washington, we took a quick trip to Mt. Rainier. I love this picture, with the trees (oh, how I miss the trees), and Madison standing taller than the mountain. We took this at the visitor center near the top. That was a great day. It is a picture like this that I will always remember the face of Madison, for the rest of my life. This is a picture in my head of how I will look at her years from now. She is starting to talk so well. Just yesterday as she went to get her friend Lupe from across the hall, she said, as clear as day, "Wait a minute, Daddy. I'll be right back."
