It's hard to believe it has been 8 years since I became a mother! I had no idea how much my life would change. I thought I knew what the word "love" meant, then God entrusted me to care for one of His angels. I remember looking into Emma's eyes for the first time and I knew she came straight from God. He picked her to be our first-born, to be the one to challenge us, to be the best big sister for Josh and Kate, to inspire us to be better people.
8 seems like such a big age! Emma is her own person. She has her own style, her own personality, her own desires, her own way of doing things. I am so proud of her! She is the best big sister I could ever ask for. She seeks to do good and stand up for what is right. She is smart and has a great sense of humor. She loves to read books, do art (especially painting), watch football with her daddy, wrestle with her brother and read to her sister. I knew I loved her from the minute I knew she existed, but I didn't know how much I would love being her mom!
Happy Birthday, Emma! We love you more than you'll ever know!
Now, a trip down memory lane...
My, how the years have flown by...
I still remember coming to visit when Emma was a newborn. She has grown into a beautiful little girl. Happy belated birthday, Emma!
ReplyDeleteOh Bonnie, she's so grown up. Hard to believe your baby's eight! I will never forget the call from Danny in the wee hours of the morning when she was born. What joy! So happy we got to see her last month.
