"The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together."
--Erma Bombeck
"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
--Mother Teresa

Emily's 1st Birthday Pictures




Our little sweet Emily has turned a year old today. She is getting big and she is ready to walk and get into everything.






Emily keeps getting more and more hair everyday. It gets more curly and red as the days pass.





Her personality has really started to show. She is always smiling and having a good time with her family.














She can now say about 10-12 words. Bub = blanket, Ba = bottle, she says baby for everthing that is soft and lays her head down on whatever it is and cuttles with it.
