My baby is seven!



This was the night before I had you. You refused to turn head down so I had a scheduled C-section with you. I should have known then that you did things your way.

We were so happy to have a little girl in the house again. Dad bought this dress months before you were born. You were so cute when you cried.


Here you are with your siblings right after our move to Germany. Dad was gone that year. I am glad you were so good.

You were such a good sport when it came to dress-up. Your sister did this to you all the time. She still does.

I love this photo. It was taken minutes after your dad came home from Iraq. The other kids ran to him with open arms, but to you he was a complete stranger.
I love how you need convincing and how he was so willing to convince. Now your great pals.

Ahhhhhh! Chicken Pox. You were my only kid to get this. Anyone who doesn't immunize for this is mean. Go get the shot!
It was so sad for you, and for me. Poor girl.

Classic."Look a little sink" You brushing your teeth at the bidet. I corrected you after I got the picture.

Another cute crying picture.

Here's another cute crying picture.

This is what you ordered.

Here you are having fun with dad.

Pure Joy!

Happy Birthday Emma. You sweet, sensitive, lovely girl.

Oh Emma! You are so wonderful! I love your spunk and your spirit. Its unfortunate for me that you have lived over-seas most of your life, but I sure do love the visits and feel grateful that I have been able to spend so much time with you considering the distance. I love you!

unbelievable I remember when she was born and we stayed the night at your house. We had just moved there and I had nothing else to do, literally. I loved holding her. She was probably one of the only babies (other than my own) that I really loved. I like the the older kids when I am honest. Wow, I just cant get over the fact that she isnt a baby anymore. Does that mean that My babies are going be kids one day?
