Six

Emma is six today and we have celebrated big! Her doll cake was decorated by Grandma Rack… reminded me of the ones my Grandma Marge used to make me when I was a little girl.

My parents bought her the American Girl doll Lanie, and Jeff’s gave her a doll bed and special quilt made by Grandma Rack. She was thrilled! Our kids get lots of lovin' from their awesome grandparents!

What I love about Emma:

Her tender spirit and innocent questions like yesterday, “Why do we have eyebrows?” (Anybody know the answer to that?)

Her compassion on others, especially babies.This photo was from last June, when Hudson was a newborn. She would lay in our bed and snuggle with him for hours! She still asks to hold him all the time, even though he’s about half as big as she is now. She calls him “Bubbie, booshka” in this real baby voice.

She loves fairy tales, princesses, tea parties, anything fancy/sparkly/pink. She likes to give Clay “jump hugs” (where you both hug and jump at the same time). Then they laugh like crazy and say, “Let’s do it again!” She loves to go on Starbucks dates with Daddy and help Mommy make cookies in the kitchen.

Emma Lu, we love you! We pray that God would draw you to Himself and that you would hear His voice and walk with Him all your life.
