Emma's Montage from last year

My song for you...

I found this song about a year ago. It is my song to Emma, and makes me cry every time. It is by an artist named Janelle. Here are the lyrics:

Amazing

The morning cold and raining,
dark before the dawn did come
How long in twilight waiting
longing for the rising sun

You came like crashing thunder
breaking through these walls of stone
You came with wide eyed wonder
into all this great unknown

Hush now don't you be afraid
I promise you I'll always stay
I'll never be that far away
I'm right here with you

You're so amazing
you shine like the stars
You're so amazing
the beauty you are
You came blazing
right into my heart
You're so amazing
you are...You are

You came from heaven shining
Breath of God still fresh on you
The beating heart inside me
Crumbled at this one so new

No matter where or how far you wander
For a thousand years or longer
I will always be there for you
Right here with you

You're so amazing
you shine like the stars
You're so amazing
the beauty you are
You came blazing
right into my heart
You're so amazing you are...

I hope your tears are few and fast
I hope your dreams come true and last
I hope you find love that goes on
and on and on and on and on
I hope you wish on every star
I hope you never fall too far
I hope this world can see how wonderful you are...

It's been a while

It's been way too long since I've updated Emma's blog. I've been crazy busy with school. So, I promise to update it soon! Look for new pics coming up.

Easter Morning




Emma had fun finding Easter Eggs with Jacen this year. She was disappointed when it was all done...but look at that basket! Oh, and her Easter basket was Mommy's Easter basket when she was a little girl. It even still has the original pink ribbon on the handle.

Emma's new favorite thing to do is to run around me in circles, and then climb on my back Every time I sit on the floor she gets so excited and runs to me to play this!

Fishy Puzzle




Emma had been bugging me for this fishy puzzle every time we went to Target. I finally gave in and got it for her. It came with a fishing pole that is magnetic. She loves it!

After Mommy spent the weekend in St. Louis, we needed some Mommy & Emma time, so we went to the zoo on Monday. We had great weather and Emma had lots of fun. here she is posing with a Manatee.

This is not a pic from the zoo, but from the same day. I love this picture because she looks like such a big girl!
