Emsleigh Ruth is 4!!

On March 18th, Ems turned 4! The night before we had two special families over for pizza and cake to celebrate. 












I should have tried to take a group picture at the beginning of the night instead of past bed time.


On her actual birthday we headed up to Phoenix to eat a cinnamon roll for breakfast, play and have chinese for lunch. Some of her favorite things!



Jeremiah and Kesed crossed this bridge dozens of times. It was Kesed's favorite part of the park. Of course, Emsleigh would not walk on it once. I love the differences. 


Emsleigh's birthday is always this breath of fresh air in the midst of a difficult week. I praise God He has given me such a tender-hearted, loving daughter. On her birthday she received some money. When she opened it, she looked at the money and walked back to her room. When she came back I asked her what she did. We have a piggy bank that looks like a world. It is our missionary bank. We put money in there all year for missionaries and then give it at Christmas time. She said, "I put the money in the missionary bank, I know the missionaries need the money more than I do." What a precious girl to give her birthday money away without any hesitation.
