HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE MISSY!!!

I LOVE YOU!!

What a year! I can't believe that Emma will be 1 on Saturday. It has gone by so fast! All I can say is that I never expected having a little girl would be so amazing. Don't get me wrong, I love the boys to death. But there is something about having a little girl. Emma has the cutest personality. She is always smiling and laughing. She makes the funniest faces. Josh and I just watch her and laugh. All three of the kids get along so well. The boys really look out for her and try to help her when they can. I cannot imagine what my life would be without my baby girl. She is AMAZING!!

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!
