Happy Birthday Emily (and Ethan)!

Our Birthday Girl... (April 19th!)


She's got grooves.

She's totally hip.... "wazz up?"





She's got the moves.


She's got mommy's make-up.

She's very sweet.

She's got a cute bum.

She's a real treat.

 And if you add it all up, she comes to the right sum!


I don't rhyme very often as you can see.
 I am terrible at it. 
 You learn too much about me, 
and the sorry state of my wit.

Yet, I thought I would try.
And see what I could do,
But not before I asked myself why?
Why am I so askew?


(This post is not about poetry...but I wanted to write a poem for Emily as I have done in the past with my other kids. I was always terrible at poetry in High School. I always envied those that could rhyme really well, but I keep trying!)


I can't believe our baby is TWO!! It's hard to believe Emily and Ethan were born two years ago. Time has gone quickly. I sometimes wish I could turn back time and enjoy the moments with them again when they were born even though it was very difficult, it was such a joyful time as well.  Emily is doing great! She is not talking a whole lot yet, but understands so much and still loves figuring things out and loves playing with anything electronic. She has a sweet demeanor and can be very bashful. Yet, she also can be real independent and stubborn. She is a cuddle bug and loves to sit on my lap and be held. She loves when I read books to her and she LOVES playing outside. If she could have her way, she would be outside all day long. She's loves to eat chocolate, chicken, and salads.
She is about 22-23 pounds. Tiny and petite but that doesn't stop her.  She sure knows how to stand up for herself and get what she wants with her sisters. 
We Love you Emily!!! And we miss you Ethan!!!

Oh my goodness! Time flies way too fast for me. I can't believe she's already two! That blows my mind. What a cutie! Wish I could squeeze those cheeks!
