Happy 95th Birthday Great-Great Grandma Emma!

Today Emma and Kendall's Great-Great Grandma Emma turned 95 years old. Wow. She is truly a wise woman with more love for the Lord than anyone I know. She is an inspiration to our entire family, and I am honored that one of my children is named after her.

The four of us visited her this past Saturday, but we only managed to get a photo of Emma and Grandma. (Kendall clearly had other things to do.) Although it is hard to visit with two very busy little girls, my heart overflows every time we do. And we need to do it more often.

We love you, Grandma, and thank the Lord for every day we get to spend with you here on earth -- and know without a doubt we will spend eternity with you!

Fashion Friday: Posing with Great Great Grandma

Okay, so these really aren't Fashion Friday photos, BUT it's been hectic here this week, and I've really been meaning to post these pictures.

As most of you know by now, we currently have 5 generations of women alive in my family. So naturally, we wanted to name our little girl after her Great Great Grandma Emma.

Here the are the two of them just a few weeks ago when we paid Grandma a visit at her new nursing home. Emma did pretty good, and especially liked the birdies they have in the lobby...just like Grandma knew she would.



As you can see, she even sat on Grandma's lap and gave her a few kisses. I love that we got a few pictures of this. I know Emma will treasure these some day as much as I do now.

Have a great weekend everyone!
