Photos of the Princess by "Daddy"






Here are some more pics of the most beautiful little girl I know. By the way this is Daddy's turn to write because Ema won't leave Mommy's side right now. I just finally got her to open up while playing with a piece of candy on the bed. She laughed her little heart out (this was right after she just had a little fit)! I think she may be left-handed like her daddy because she grabs everything with her left hand and was even throwing with both...

Oh my! She's smiling and happy! How precious! Charlie & I kept looking at these over & over at 5:00 am Thanksgiving Day! So much for which to be thankful! We laughed and laughed! What a joy little Ema is! Your patience, all the prayers and God's faithfulness is evident in these photos! My personal favorite is the one with her mouth wide open, hilariously happy! A place on my 'frig is waiting for that one!
Wait until Seaton & Adam see these! Both teared up looking at the others! What a blessed child Ema is to be in this family!
My love to Em&Em&K!

We are having great fun looking at the pictures. Have to admit we need kleenex every time we read about you all. Molly was excited to hear Ema might be left handed. She and Kirk can teach her how to throw and catch. Happy Thanksgiving. We can't wait to see you guys. Sunshine and Sand await us at the beach!

This is the greatest Thanksgiving Day! I woke up, ran to the computer to find these wonderful pictures of you and Ema. Words can not express the joy I feel for all of you right now. Ema is smiling and laughing...music straight to your heart, isn't it? She has the cutest smile! Now, just hurry and get home. Be safe! We will be praying for you always. HUGS- Tammy

Oh My stars! Happy Thanksgiving. She is adorable. She is happy and appears to be enjoying her daddy! Just like a lit' princess is suppose to. Maddison my oldest is here and I was explaining to her the process of you getting Ema and she said, "can we see her"?
I know your hearts are bouncing...
Praise The Lord!!!!

Now my Thanksgiving is complete when I see you all as a happy family!!!!

mom and dad said...

Oh my goodness!! I cant't even think of anything to say. She is the most beautiful little thing that I have ever seen (next to you Em)! You know that I am sitting here crying my eyes out. To see Kirk with you and her touches my heart like you can't imagine. I really cannot wait to see all of you. And I am letting everyone know that they are going to have to wait in line behind Pops and DD to get their hands on her. Anyone who cannot look at her and know that God is soo good is really missing out on something. Have a great Thanksgiving and Em I will eat an extra spoon of dressing for you! love and hugs and prayers for all:) Pops and DD

**Braxton asked, "Momma, who is that lil' girl? I told him it was his new neighbor, Ema. After I explained, he said, "Oh, you mean the people with that cute dog that always barks and wags his tail at me?" "He really likes me!"
