The sun is out!

Emsleigh has been standing at the door or window

for the past month. She has been anxious to get outside,

and so have we! Finally the sun is out and we have

been able to enjoy the fresh air!

A New Dress

Mimi sent a new dress for Emsleigh's birthday.

She did not get to wear it to her birthday party

because it snowed so much. However, she will

wear it for Easter and wore it for her birthday

offering last Sunday. Such a pretty little girl.

Thank You Mimi!

able to attend!

We had fun decorating cupcakes and making picture frames

out of fun foam.

"God is the same when he afflicts,

as when he is merciful,

just as worthy of our entire trust and confidence now,

as when he entrusted us with the precious little gift.

There is a bright side even to this heavy affliction."

Ann Judson, missionary to Burma, after the death of her son Roger.

A video of Emsleigh climbing the stairs

The Stairs

We usually keep the stairs blocked off and piled up with stuff.

However, since it was time for sorting, I thought Ems would

like a to give it a try.

Should I stay or should I go?

Go!

And when I get to the top, I am going to sit side ways

with one of my sweet little butt cheeks hanging off the stair.

She is so funny to me.

Random pictures from this week...

Emsleigh found the boxes ready to go to recycling.

She was super excited and as you can see, had lots of fun.

She loves drinking out of my cup.

Playing in her room.

Just for fun

I am thankful for this cd, this month. If you know of anyone who has lost a child, this would be a great gift.
