Emerson's Baptism

Emerson was baptized on July 28, 2014-- with a host of family and friends supporting her little sprinkled head. The day couldn't have been more perfect, and she couldn't have been more angelic. I could not be more blessed. 

 What a privilege to have our sweet babies baptized by the same trio of pastors, one of whom also married us. The scenery is strikingly similar, the blue-eyed gorgeous baby girls are eerily identical, and the occasion of dedicating our daughters to the One who entrusted them to us is universally monumental.

Happy baptism to you, my sweet littlest of Es. May you always know how very loved you are, and have always been from the very beginning. We are so grateful to God who created you so intricately, so perfectly poised to fulfill His purpose for you here on this Earth. And we stand in humble bewilderment that He allows us to be your parents. 

All the world's a stage

The day she was entered the world, a star was born. 

Drama queen by day and rockstar/ballerina/broadway princess by night, this child has always been a performer.

Loves attention like no other, and finds daily reasons to put on a show, usually with a few frustrated outbursts against younger sisters who don't always follow her tyrannical authoritative instructions as director/producer/script writer. 

Occasionally the performances occur in a more organized setting, in the form of dance recitals, drama camps, and cherub choir performances. 

She doesn't know the definition of stagefright and can light up a room with her smile. What audience could resist that? 

Perfect

You are perfect. In every way. 

Oh how you complete our family, perfect little Em.
