Emily is 9!
This is one of my favorite pictures of Emily as a baby. She was a little over a year.
Last night I was remembering back to her first year when I worked in an office. I had a journal in Word and I would sit at the keyboard and write whenever I had a few minutes. I dated each entry and wrote a few paragraphs about what her life was like at that time. I just looked a it today, it reads a lot like my blog posts now. I stopped writing after her first birthday for whatever reason. I wish I had continued, I've really never been good about journaling or even archiving photos. Maybe that's why I like this blog, I feel like I'm preserving thoughts and memories better. After I clean up the big piles of clutter I mentioned a few posts ago, I hope to get busy sorting pictures and doing some kind of memory keeping on my older keepsakes from when the kids were little-er. Better late than never!
It wasn't until Emily was three and Sarah was born that I stopped working to stay home with my daughters. Now lookey what I'm here with! Four little people! I feel totally blessed.
We gave her a party Saturday with her girlfriends. Sunday, Tony's family came over for a BBQ and Carmen took this picture of Em and me.
Beautiful photo Mel, of you both. -kris
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how much Emily (as a baby) looks like Eva. If you had told me that was a picture of Eva I wouldn't have doubted you for a second.... Happy Birthday to Emily!
