Emory is 5!


Where have the last 5 years gone?
If I look back, I could find them...
watching you play dress up, at the the library, cleaning up your messes, watching Little Einsteins with you, playing ponies with you, pushing you on your trike, making your favorite meal, "tacos", playing at the park with you and Miles, reading, reading, and reading some more, our "Girls Days", at the zoo, answering your questions, entertaining you while you sat on the potty seat, at the pool, on walks in the stroller, at McDonald's, playing instruments and dancing together, making crafts, and playing school. And there is nothing else in the world I would have rather been doing.
Yesterday I told Emory that it was her last day of being 4. I almost cried as I said it. I loved 4, probably more than all the other years. But I am sure 5 is going to rock, too. Until I have to send her to Kindergarten... :(

Just wait until you leave her at college the first time and she hands you a tape of all the music you made her listen to growing up. I hope it is a long drive home, like across three states. Paybacks . . .
he he he... wonder who left that comment... ;)
letting go, there's nothing in her way now, letting go. there's room enough to cry. even though she's spent her whole life waiting, it's never easy... letting go.
Happy Birthday, Emory! Angie- you have at least 13 years before she will leave for college. The two previous comments are mean-spirited. They must be written by relatives! Kathy
