We celebrated Emmie’s birthday a couple more times with Papa & Grandmere and then with Ge & Granddaddy.   Malachi was serving us “apples.” Music and animals are her current loves.  Ge and Granddaddy found the perfect gift that fit both! Books and Grandmere just go together. Grandmere sweetly offered to help make a dress for Emmie.  We were looking for a few that she could wear over her brace and after sending a link, Grandmere came up with a beautiful one! Emmie approved.

I know I have said multiple times but it is completely true.  This year would have been even harder had we not had these four people walking this road with us too.  They have prayed and cried and dropped everything to do what they could for us and their grandchildren.  I would not trade them for anything!
