Has It Really Been 12 Years?!




It is hard to believe that it has been 12 years since we had Emily. When I look back over the past 12 years, I wonder where the time has gone. It seems like just yesterday that we brought Emily home from the hospital. You always hear people say, "enjoy your kids while they are young because they grow up fast." I remember thinking about that when my first two children where little and I thought it doesn't really seem to go by that fast, but now I know more of what they mean. Emily has been such a blessing in our lives. I can't imagine this family without her. She is mature beyond her years, and sometimes seems to be more of an adult than me. If I were able to pick exactly what I would want my first child to be, I am possitive I would pick her. I am priviledged to be Emily's mom, and I look forward to the next chapter in her life.


I sometimes wish time could stand still. I enjoy having my children young. I always worry about the unknown, and unfortunately for Emily she is the one who has to do the unknown first in our family most of the time. I am looking forward to watching her grow as a Young Women. I am thankful for the church and for the organizations that it has to help guide our children through their teenage years!
