Emmeline: Here we are at a ten and a half. You made me a Mama all those years ago and how we've rejoiced in you ever year of your life! This year has been full ever so many changes for you and you are quickly blossoming into a young woman before our very eyes. What a marvelous big sister you are, capable of so many thing- cooking, diaper changing, calming toddlers, doing laundry, gardening.... you are our dreamer, our writer, our reader, our night owl. You do not like to eat meat. You adore ballet and have such grace and skill. You play piano and cello and read all the time. In fact I cannot seem to get you to stop reading. (There are only a few moments in a day when I really must get you to stop). You love the outdoors and bike riding, you love quiet alone time and tea with your sisters. You are also an artist who spends months creating paper dolls for your sister's birthday. You wear my clothes and have the same shoe size as I do. You are more patient than anyone I know. You are strong and tender. We continue to thank God for you at this half year mark (albeit a bit late) and we cannot wait to see the adventures he has in store for you.
