{Emma Grace}

Just over a week ago my second born turned 12.

12.  :(

Not sure how the time is flying by so quickly... but somehow it just keeps ticking along.

and then there were 2... and I had no idea at that moment how different my life would be in the years to come... and how simple and easy those first years were.

Oh my sweet emma... 1 year old!

3 years old and boy did she LOVE ballet class!

Em loved pink even back then... and princess stuff was a HUGE hit.

Growing up in church.

9 years old she wrote this the eve before her first soccer game!  When I went to tuck her in bed I saw it posted by her light switch and it warmed my heart the sweet innocence of this girl.

Photobucket
always with the dance moves...

Photobucket
and the smiles...

Photobucket
even when she went to camp alone and almost broke my heart...

12!

Birthday Board :)

Life with Emma is always on the go, you never know what is going to happen next!  She wears her emotions on her sleeves, when she is up she's up, and when she is down she is down.  She loves her family, sisters, and boy does she love her little brother.  Music is one of her favorites, she loves to sing & dance & perform drama.  When she was little (3) she was about as stubborn as they come... and I am just so thrilled with the way she has grown into such a wonderful young lady.  Her zest for life is contagious and her made up songs (if you are around her you know what I am talking about...) make my day... as well as sometimes making me crazy!  ;)  I am super blessed to be her "mother" as she likes to call me!
xoxo Emma!  Thank you for making this earthly life SO beyond fabulous!  I love being your mom!

p.s.  I have NO idea why a few of those pictures are HUGE... and can't change it so, sorry!
