Emma came into the world and started me on this wonderful adventure called motherhood.
I am so lucky to have this girl. She is quite amazing actually. She is sweet, energetic, emotional, extroverted, artistic, coordinated, talented, intelligent, and cute too!For her birthday, we made the traditional number pancake. Dave has corrupted my children and now they like batter pancakes (where only one side is cooked). And birthday pancakes get sprinkles too. We went to lunch at Carl's Jr. Then (since I am a glutton for punishment) we went to another movie. It was a much better experience this time. It helped that it was Underdog, a movie I had absolutely no desire to see, so I didn't care that I was in the lobby the entire time with Sawyer and Nathan.
We came home for Kids Company rehearsal. I had planned to make treats but that didn't happen. The girls did sing to her and I know she liked that. Tonight we had Ham and Cheese Soup with rolls. Then they watched a movie to finish off the day. It wasn't the most amazing birthday, I am sure, but I think she felt loved and celebrated.
Happy Birthday, Emma!

Happy 8th, Emma! I can't believe you're already 8!! Have a wonderful baptism, too!
Sounds like a great birthday. Batter pancakes...very interesting. :)
I LOVE EMMA! And not just because I should (being her grandmother) but because she is all the things you said: sweet, energetic, emotional, extroverted, artistic, coordinated, talented, intelligent, and cute. Plus I'd add enthusiastic and excited - makes her extra fun to be around.
I remember seeing her for the first time at Anne McNally's apartment...I think for a shower for somebody? Is that right? Anyway, I was pregnant too and was so excited for you. She was beautiful then and is so beautiful now. I can't believe she is 8!
