Happy Birthday Emma!

 

Dear Emma,

It seems like just yesterday I heard Daddy say “ it’s a baby girl” and now you are 5!  What a precious gift you are to our family.   You sweet caring heart, curiosity of words and numbers and helpfulness with your sisters is such a blessing.    Emma,  we love you to the moon and back!

Family Photos

 

In past years we would do family photos with my brother and his family for my Mom when there was an added child to the family and this year (seeming we added Liv) she asked if we could do them as a big group.   Here are just a few of them.

Fall is my favorite time of year and all of these were taken at my Mom and Dad’s place.   We were so blessed to have great weather and colors on this day.   Oh and the cooperation of the kids was an added bonus!  : )

Cousins

 

I am so glad that my girls get to be with thier cousins as much as I did when we were little.  I love this photo that we took at the Pink Street Party event we all went to in honor of my Mom.

Wheels on the bus….

 

Emma was able to ride on a school bus for the first time this week!  Her preschool class went on a field trip to the orchard and she had a blast.   When we pulled into the parking lot at school she saw the bus and said,  “Mom, is that it?!”  I told her that was the bus she would ride and her reply was “it’s amazing”.   Emma attends school with our good friends daughter and Addy was nice enough to send me this photo on the bus!
