Happy Birthday Emma!


Happy 9th Birthday Emma....where did the time go?

What a birthday it was...donuts for breakfast...donuts for treats at school...Red Robin for dinner AND....

For the biggest surprise of all..drum roll(JK)...Emma thought she would have to wait to get her ears pierced when she was 16! Well Emma had expressed to me a couple of months ago how sad she is that Larsons birthday is in the same month and yet he is not here. Since they share the same birthstone, Steve and I decided to have her ears pierced on January 22nd. A gift she will remember forever. The gift of a brother who forever changed her and her family. A good reminder to have joy on the days that are hard to have joy in. I want her to remember his birthday with a smile!

Praise God for 9 wonderful years.

Happy Birthday, Emma! I cannot believe you are 9! I remember when your mommy told me that she was pregnant with you and I couldn't believe it. How time flies!
