Is it possible? 10-years of joy already?
Emily, I can't even tell you how much anticipation your dad and I had to meet you the first time. Finally holding our first miracle from God was the most amazing and emotional moment.
We have so many wonderful memories with you ...
... the time you beat me and your dad at your first game ever of Monopoly. And you did it with the cheapest two properties on the board!!!
... watching you fall in love with all animals. You will always be our "animal whisperer."
... watching you learn new skills. You have a determination that drives you to keep going and never give up! And I have learned that some things you learn best on your own, without Mom's help.
... getting to the top of the St. Louis arch to hear you loudly announce, "So this is what Chicago looks like!"
... your passion for world missions.
... how you are Eli's second mother!
... the first time you saw newborn Megan. You thought she was YOUR baby. You peeked in her mouth and announced, "No teeth!"
... your ambition!
... your amazing ability to avoid viruses, even when the rest of the family is sick.
... helping you tinkle on the side of the road to Burlington during the flood. Our lane of traffic is stopped and we don't know how long it will be until we can move again. Of course, as soon as I get you out of the car and pull your pants down, our lane of the highway if opened and we hold up a long line of traffic as you cheerfully moon them all!
... listening to you play the piano.
I don't know what I would do without you, baby doll!
We love you!!!
