Emmeline is Eleven

 

This dear girl is eleven years old and has been bringing joy and light ever since her birth. I will never forget the days before her arrival as we watched the leaves turn golden and wondered when our little miracle would come.  And here we are, all of these years later, watching our beautiful and tender hearted girl grow and blossom. Emmie continues to be a voracious reader and may perhaps know more details of books than I do. It is a joy to watch her journey towards womanhood and to share the rich world of literature with her, to watch her grow in the Lord, to question things and search out answers and to learn to trust her Savior more and more. Emmie has become quite the proficient musician and goes to the piano to play for pleasure know (always my biggest hope). She is teaching Phoebe to play and that is a special treat.  Her cello continues to blossom and she's enjoyed duets and chamber music. Emmie has great artistic talent and has been creating the most lovely portraits of people. She's also taken to making paperdolls and writing books for her sisters as gifts.  She has a wild imagination and it's so fun to watch it grow. Emmie loves to be outside and is always busy biking, playing in her fairy garden or the Forest Bakery Kitchen. She is becoming an independent cook in the kitchen and loves cooking historic meals or surprise treats.  She strongly dislikes reptiles, loves to sew and create, learned to drive the tractor and isn't afraid to get muddy. Emmie is faithful, gentle, and sensitive, always serving her family with a loving heart and taking life as it comes.  May God bless and keep you always sweet Emmeline, our dear heart and precious girl.
