11 Years ago...




yesterday, Emma Plum was born at 3:28 in the afternoon. Hard to believe so much time has passed, eventhough in ways it has gone slow, in others ways entirely too fast. Kids always grow up too fast and she is no exception. Emma has acted well beyond her years since she was just a baby... in some ways that is good, and in others, not so good lol. She is a wonderful kid, she couldn't be a better big sister to her 3 younger siblings, and is also an excellent student! We are very proud to say she made it to the A/B honor roll, just having received 4 A's and 1 B on her latest report card. She also excels in reading, having a target end of year range from 779 - 1039 on her SRI's, Emma scored a 1226. We are all very proud of her, yet I take no credit for her brains, I never did that well in school lol. Then again I loathed school, and Emma, much like her aunt Gina LOVES school!

We took her out for her birthday dinner, like we do all the kids and then for ice cream and our 'family picture' hehe. Enjoy a few pics I thought I'd post for a little look back. =)

And...


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EMMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (you can stop growing now, I can deal with 11 forever if I have to.) I love you Princess P.


Your Dad and I shortly before you were a twinkle. =)



In labor =)











On our way to dinner!


Mom and daughter =)


All done with her cheese ravioli birthday dinner!


A really bad picture of the full moon. Oddly enough, Emma was born 11 years ago, the day before the full moon.


Bring on the oreo overload! She wanted chocolate devotion but they were sadly, out of brownies. Chris said it was just wrong, they wouldn't make Emma a batch of brownies on her birthday. ;)


Extra insulin needed for this! (she didn't eat the WHOLE thing haha)


And a good time was had by ALL!!!


Saying goodnight to the full mooon

I loved seeing all those pics. I have to say though, mama, you look 5 gazillion times better NOW than you did back then.

*ahem* just MY opinion. Course I'm always right so.... =D
