Emma's Birthday

I'm a few days late with Emma's birthday post. Emma turned EIGHT years old on Friday, the same day as her new baby sister came home from the hospital. Emma thought that was a pretty cool birthday present.

Emma is looking forward to being baptized next month. She is sweetheart with a dramatic flare. Of all my children Emma is the one that reminds me more of myself. I never thought of myself as a drama queen, but more and more everyday she reminds me of things I used to do, or think, or feel at her age. She loves to dance around, sing, she is interested in learning the piano, she works so hard at school, she is a good friend, she has sensitive feelings, and she never tells a story without a heavy dose of added drama. She is a super sister. She loves her family. Sadly being the middle child I wonder if sometimes she questions where she fits in at times. Someday I hope she understands how valued and loved she is, and how she totally and completely she fits right where she is.

  Happy Birthday, Miss Emma! We love you so much!
