Happy Birthday Emma!

Emma, 3 days old, January 2007

My sweet Emma,

Happy Birthday princess!!!
I cannot believe that you're 4 years old today!

It seems like just yesterday when I took that picture of you as we were preparing to leave the hospital and bring you home!

You completed our family ... it's that simple.

Daddy, Olivia and I love you so very much....

Our peanut Emma-nem

You are funny and witty - always telling 'knock knock' jokes and singing and dancing. Sometimes when we're driving in the car, you spend the entire trip singing songs you've learned at daycare.

But, you're also very stubborn. And independent. And I can't imagine who you take after with those traits (haha). You like things done your way and on your terms. Sometimes it can be rather challenging. I wouldn't change it for the world.

You are also a little smarty pants - already writing your full name, counting to at least 25, reciting your ABCs and sometimes even counting to 5 in Spanish! (Thank you, Dora).


We hope that you have a very happy and magical birthday.
We love you to the moon and back ... and then some.

Love, hugs and kisses,
Mommy, Daddy and Olivia
