And just like that - she is 8

Happiest birthday to my big 8 year old. How is Emmy already 8?! She is so full of personality and turning into a big girl before our eyes. She is smart, funny, stubborn, strong, loves to eat, is sweet, beautiful and is always having fun. This year seems extra special to me as our family grows again. She will always be my first baby and now my only daughter, a special bond I hope we have forever. Despite her comments about wanting a sister or having to deal with another brother (followed by an ugh) I think she’s caught onto the fact that there are many times it’ll be just us girls a lot over the years :) “You are my monkey, my only monkey you make me happy when skies are blue. You’ll never know just how much I love you….”
