The Big 13
















Our baby girl is a teenager as of today. Emma is now thirteen...where did the time go? Seems like yesterday I was in labor in the middle of the Super Bowl :) Here are some of my favorite things about this little (big) girl:

She is very determined and won't let anything get in her way when she makes up her mind. We often call her "Miss Bee in Her Bonnet".

She loves to socialize with friends and family. She probably gets this from her sisters :) Her calendar is usually fuller than mine!

I never have to worry about her grades or getting assignments in on time. Never. She stresses about this all on her own...

She is a natural athlete -- Any sport she tries, she excels at--especially soccer.

She is very tender-hearted concerning spiritual things.

She loves her family, especially when they come to cheer her on at her games.

She loves being an aunt to Aubri Roo, and tries to change as many diapers as possible as long as they aren't messy ;)

She loves to eat...especially healthy food. When she was small and we would go to get fast food, she would always ask for a "salad" kids meal, instead of a burger kids meal.

She has a great sense of design. Whether its fashion or scrap booking, she is a pro.

She is an excellent cook. She makes killer eggs just like Greg and Tara. She fills them full of sauteed vegetables and lots of cheese -- Yum!

She is beautiful inside and out. But don't tell her that she is beautiful, because we don't want it going to her head ;)

(Tomorrow night is the big family get-together and I should have some pictures to post)
