Praise God!

What a wonderful day!  Tonight before bed, Emily prayed and asked Jesus to come into her heart!  I really believe she understands what she's done.  Last night, Daddy read her the Easter story from her storybook Bible before bed, and we talked about how Jesus died on the cross and then rose again, and that now he lives in Heaven.  We talked about how we can pray and ask Jesus to come into our hearts and that if we do that, we will get to go to Heaven when we die.

Then tonight, Mommy was reading to her and asked Emily if she remembered what she and Daddy talked about last night, and she did.  Mommy told her the same things Daddy had talked to her about, and then told her that anytime she was ready, she could pray and ask Jesus to come into her heart--she could do it today, tomorrow, or when she was older.  Daddy came in during the conversation so he got to hear it too.  We also talked about sin, and why Jesus had to die on the cross.  Then Emily told us she wanted to pray and ask Jesus to come into her heart tonight, and we were happy to help!  Daddy prayed and Emily repeated after him!  Praise God!

Then Mommy was singing to her the "Lord you are more precious than silver" song.  After it, Emily said "Jesus is more beautiful than diamonds.  I like Jesus better than diamonds, don't you?"

Thank you, God, for drawing Emily to yourself and for her salvation!

Here I am in my birthday present from Grandpa and Gigi! I love it--it has my name on it! I love sitting in it, and I love getting in and out all by myself. Mama and Dada are a little worried about me when I get out though, because I don't turn around and back down, oh no, I go straight down and catch myself with my hands so I'm ready to crawl! They put a pillow on the floor just for a little extra padding! Thank you for my chair! I had so much fun during Grandpa and Gigi's visit last weekend! They came in on Friday and Mama and I went to pick them up at the airport while Dada manned the grill. We had dinner, and then I hit the sack. Saturday morning was really fun, but it was unusual! Instead of leisurely eating breakfast at home, they got me dressed and we all piled in the car and headed to Great Falls National Park. We had a picnic breakfast under the trees, and it was so much fun. I really love being outside like that--I like to hear the birds and see the green trees an...

Emily Quotes

I know I am a little biased, but I think Emily says the funniest things.  She is so clever and quick.  Her humor must come from her daddy. A funny quote: The other day, we were in DSW and I took her potty.  As I was lifting her on the potty, I happened to say, "Emily, I love you so much...you are my little peanut."  And she responded with "Mommy, I love you so much...you are my little almond."  I burst out laughing...it was so funny and sweet. A sweet quote: While we were eating dinner, Emily said, "Mommy, I have a secret for you."  So she got up, came over, and whispered in my ear "Mommy, thank you for doing the laundry and for making breakfast, lunch, and dinner."  Just what a Mommy needs to hear at the end of a long day.  Thank you, Emily, for being so sweet and grateful.  I love the heart God has given you.
