Emilie Turns Seven Years Old

It is hard to believe our Emilie is seven years old. Here are a few pictures of when she was a baby followed by her special birthday celebration.

We were so blessed to have a home birth.
Here she is just moments old.

A little out of sequence :~) She's almost two months old here.
Daddy and Emilie sharing time together

I think she's only a day or so old here.
Proud big brother and big sister, before they thought she was annoying.


So sweet!


She loved to wrestle with her daddy.


Sadie waited a long time for a little sister.


Precious!


This was taken just before Emilie was born.
They were so excited. Look how young they were!


You lookin' at me?
about 6 months old


Sadie helping Emilie lick the icing off the candle from her second birthday.
Her first birthday was intruded upon by a certain Mr. Charley who none of us Floridians will ever forget.


Just after her first birthday.


Cookies anyone?

And now here she is helping in the kitchen again.


Cracking an egg for her birthday cake.


She did a great job!
(please ignore the bleach bottle on the counter)
Wearing the bracelet made by the Stricklen girls.

Yum!




"I can almost taste it!"


We set the table with the fancy china for such a special occasion.


I think she's having a good birthday.


Baked chicken, green beans, and baked apples.




Sadie made the dress Emilie's wearing as a very special gift. It matches a skirt Sadie had made for herself. They wore their matching outfits to church on Sunday.

Licking icing off candles is "tradition".
(Fiddler on the Roof reference)


Present time!




Hugging "Drandad"
(the name Sadie gave him when she was wee little)


Hugging Mimi


"What is it?"


Can you tell she's excited?
Thank you, brother.


Believe it or not this reaction is over Vienna sausages!


"Shoes just like Sadie!"


The big surprise!


I think she's happy.


My mom made a Raggedy Ann doll for her.


I couldn't choose between these pictures.


She had a really good birthday and felt very special.


Daniel and Sadie gave her this pioneer outfit (sans kettle). The outfit was originally Sadie's given by our dear friend, Mr. Razey.
Emilie has truly been a blessing to our family and we continually praise the Lord for her.

Oh, what a wonderful birthday for a little Sweetie! Those early pictures are so precious! How many times can I tell Sadie how jealous I am of her hair!

Emilie, you are a blessed little girl and a blessing to all who know you! Let's do that piano lesson soon!

Love,
