Emma's Blessing Day

I sat down with my new Photoshop program,
I created a simple page,
I think I have room for improvement,
I crossed my fingers it would work,
I think I'm hooked.

OOHH Baby!!

We can't resist kissing her,
we run to comfort her when she cries.
We all ooh and ahh over her little pink clothes,
and she enjoys every minute.
Emma- 7 weeks old today.

You are extraordinary

You would have thought we had given her the world...
The look on her face says it all.

(Elizabeth with her cousin Lauren)

Dear Elizabeth,
We are so honored to be your parents.
You are gracefully striving for all the blessings that
Heavenly Father wants for you. There is nothing
more precious than a young lady who conducts herself
with the love and kindness that you exemplify.
Happy 14th Birthday Sweetie.
With Love Always,
Mom and Dad

Emma

My super talented friend Debbie
stopped by to snap a few pictures of Emma.
Here's a sampling of her talent.
(She's available for hire.)

Thank you so much Debbie, we love the pictures.


Never has one little girl been so smooched, snuggled, and adored.

From the adorable mole on her leg (see it there in the picture?)
to her dark downy hair, we could just eat her up.
