Emma is Eight!















How is this day already here? Looking back the time flew by but I have enjoyed this little girl so much! Being my first baby I was able to give her so much time and attention and it had been so fun to watch her grow into the little person she is today. Tea parties have turned into late nights and changing earrings several times a day has replaced dress-ups. This age is so fun because she still gives us glimpses of the little girl she used to be and the young lady she will soon become. I love how Emma can be such a girly girl but the next minute she can be covered in mud or out on the corner collecting money for the poor kids or for the lovely music she has played on her bells! She is such a fun kid and it is going to be an adventure watching her grow up! Happy Birthday Emma!

Emma, Grandma & Grandpa Tomlinson are so PROUD of the little lady you have become. You are so full of talents and it's fun to think of the talents you will yet develop. Your whole family is such a great support to you. You will be a great success in anything you choose to do because you have all of us behind you rooting for you! I remember the minute we heard you were born....on the beach in Hawaii. Then we could hardly wait to get home to see our new granddaughter and hold her. You were so beautiful and tiny. You have just blossomed in so many ways. We love you Emma! Grandma and Grandpa

I can't believe Emma is eight and that makes my oldest eleven. He's moved up to the intermediate school and out of elementary. Watch out Jackie, Emma will be there soon!
