All about Emma

Emma brings so much joy, laughter, sweetness, and femininity to our brood.  Her brothers all love her and the little ones especially enjoy having her as a playmate.  She loves them as well though she does sometimes like to have her own space.  She has a great imagination and I love hear the pretend play scenarios she comes up with and to see her made up dances.  

During the past year Emma has fallen in love with ballet.  While she is excited to attend classes, she also can't get enough of watching ballet performances.  

One day we decided to bury Emma in her stuffed animals.  She has quite a collection!

"Why God Made Little Girls"

God made the world with towering trees,
Majestic mountains and restless seas.
Then paused and said , "It needs one more thing...
Someone to laugh and dance and sing.
To walk in the wood and gather flowers...
To commune with nature in quiet hours."

So God made little girls

With laughing eyes and bouncing curls,

With joyful hearts and infectious smiles,

Enchanting ways and feminine wiles.

And when He'd completed the task He'd begun.

He was pleased and proud of the job He'd done.

For the world, when seen through little girl's eyes

Greatly resembled Paradise.

Our lives would be so different without our little girl... lacking in too many ways to imagine...
