                                                  This is Emma at about 6 months

My Emma is turning 7. I can not believe how grown up she is. I am so proud of her. She is a beautiful, confident young girl who knows who she is and where she is going. She loves to be her and I love to watch her grow and become who she is. As soon as she was put in my arms, I knew Heavenly Father gave her to me as a precious gift and I have been so grateful for her every day. She makes me laugh and she touches me a great deal with the kindness that is in her heart. She says she is going to buy a house next door to me and live with me forever. I wish that comes true with all of my heart! One of my favorite quotes I have heard is, "Having a child is making the decision to have your heart go walking around outside of your body." That is my EMMA.  We had her birthday party today. It got a little crowded at the end, but I think it went well. She had a great time and LOVED all of her presents. Especially her guitar. She has wanted one for quite awhile.  Dave Sparkman got a lot more pictures than we did. I always forget to take pictures at parties, because I get so busy. When he gives them to us, I will post them. Thank you Dave!!!We love you EMMA LOU!!!!!
