I have a TEN YEAR OLD!!

Double Digits!
Em couldn't have been MORE excited for this birthday. I can't believe how grown up she is! 
Em is a GREAT girl. She loves to read and write stories. She is becoming an excellent pianist. She is a great helper and has watched her siblings several times so mom and dad can attend meetings. I can't believe her life under our roof and influence is half over. The rest of time is going to fly. 

She celebrated her day into the double digits by doing getting her ears pierced.


After the tears came, Addi made it all better by commenting, "Oh Emmalee, you look BEAUTIFUL!"

Way to go Emmalee!!!! It's hard to tell if those little tears wanting to come out were out of pain or excitement!!! Maybe a little bit of both. Super job being brave Emmalee...now if 6 weeks can hurry by you will be wearing dangly earrings in no time! :)
