Emily's Post

For the record, I did NOT forget to post Emily's birthday post! We were in Missouri.
So here is Emily's 8 year old Birthday Post...

8 Things That I Love About Emily


1. Emily enjoys life! She has very seldom, if ever, said she was bored and can always find something to do.
2. I love that Emily very easily makes friends! She seems to see the good in everyone, but stands strong. If someone is not nice to her (other than her sisters) she won't say anything, but just find soemthing else to do.


3. Emily can definitely be a girly girl or a tomboy. She loves to play dress-up, but has to be reminded to change out of her "high heels" BEFORE she goes outside to catch a frog or jump on the trampoline.
4. Although very frustrating, I DO love how she can be getting a lecture or scolding and all of the sudden make you laugh!


5. I love Emily's bright smile! She can bop in and out of a room and make everyone there smile as well.
6. Emily is so smart and loves to challenge herself. If she missed a problem on a worksheet, she will work hard to not miss the same one again.


7. I love that Emily is very athletic and competitive. She is the girl that has never been in gymnastics but has taught herself round-offs, one-handed cartwheels, flips on the trampoline...all out of sheer determination! She is also a pretty good basketball player!
8. She pays attention to things that we never thought she was even aware of. She has had discussions about adoption with her friends. She takes up for her sisters when someone is mean. And,lately, she has begun to ask about baptism and its meaning. I LOVE THAT!

Happy 8th Birthday, Emily! We are very proud of you!!!
