LOOK FOR THE GIRL WITH THE RED DRESS ON!

If you look closely you can see Emma weaving in and out of the kids as she follows

the Chinese dance instructor. She was so mezmorized by her. I think Emma was the smallest on the stage.

One Year Ago


Hello all,

EMMA'S GOTTCHA DAY!!!

Well, it was a year ago that Larry and I traveled to China to bring home our little daughter Emma. It is hard to believe that a year has past and harder to believe that she has not always been with us. :) Emma is the most adoreable sweet child and we love her so much!

Since it has been so long since I last posted, I decided that I would just recap things by telling you some little things about our Emmi. So here goes.

1. She has a sparkly personality
2. She is strong willed at times
3. She has gained 8lbs. and grown 6 inches
4. She has a dimple on her left cheek that I love
5. She adores her sisters
6. She adores the two little dogs, but they do no adore her!
7. Last summer she learned to put her little head under the water in the pool much to our surprise and she loves to swim!
8. She can count to 10 and say her abc's
9. She is potty trained as of the first week of Feb. 08 and is potty training her stuffed animals right now.
10. She loves to sing songs about Jesus and pray
11. The guitar is her favorite intrument and she wants her own!
12. Seth is her first male crush!!
13. She loves to mosh! (dance)
14. She is a social butterfly and the official greeter at church
15. She HATES all bugs!
16. She wants to eat all the time!
17. She has her daddy wrapped around her little finger, just like her sister Melissa!
18. She adores her neice, Hayley, who is 2 and talks about her all the time.
19. She considers her sister, Aimee, her other mom.
20. She is a joy to all of us!

So, with all that said, I will try to journal this next year with some regularity. I'd like to figure this blogging out.
