Our Little Emily

After a very harsh winter, it's finally beginning to look green around here. Victor, Idaho is a beautiful place. We are blessed to live here.

On May 17 our Emily turned 7!! We are birthday buddies since our birthdays are only two days apart. I don't know very many people who get as excited as this girl when it is their birthday!

She had a wonderful day at school and then opened some great gifts at home. Life isn't so bad when you're 7!

The school year is winding down. Last Wednesday was her Spring Concert at school. They played kazoos and everything. It was pretty cute!

The concerts are always held in the gym, but thankfully her school is only K-3 so it is always easy to find her. 

At the end of the concert, there was a bunch of art on display at the back of the gym. Emily loves taking Art so much. She really has talent!

In February we signed Emily up for a Gymnastics class and she has loved every minute of it. On Wednesday she had her show and we were so proud of her. 

The last few months have not been particularly easy for Emily. We moved in the middle of the school year, right before Christmas, in the dead of winter, leaving her best friend, and favorite teacher. It brought tears to my eyes to see her just bouncing around and beaming from ear to ear during the whole performance.

All of the kids got a gold medal at the end of the show. She wore hers to school the next day. In her prayer she thanked Heavenly Father that she got to be in gymnastics. She is a sweet girl. We're grateful to have her in our family.
