Citizen of the Month

Miss Emily earned Citizen of the Month for Responsibility at her school!  What an amazing girl she is!  She really does amaze me all the time with just how wonderful she is in every way (she has her moments too ;)) but we are so proud of her!  It is kept a surprise until the assembly at school where they are honored, so it was too funny when she walked in with her class and saw Joe, Jackson, Lizzy and I at the back of the room.  She announced "I get to get a water bottle!!!", the important part of the whole thing ;D.  It was really wonderful that 2 of her friends also received Student of the Month that day too, Abby and Aubrie.

So Old!

Well, it is hard to say but all my kids are getting so old!  Emily turned 7 this month, can you believe it?  We celebrated as a family at home and her cake of choice?  Cheesecake!  :)  Lizzy and I made one that day while she was at school and then the evening was a yummy dinner, gifts and cake.  She also chose to go skating on Saturday and did amazing on her rollerblades (I forgot the camera of course!) but it was a great time.  Joe kept Jackson at home and Lizzy came along too.  By the end of the session she was skating on her own too.  Oh how old they both are!  Happy Birthday Emily, we love you!
