Dear Nicholas,

You would have been 8 today my sweet baby.

I miss going to the temple where I felt so close to you, though you haven't been far from my thoughts. I miss you. 

I felt your spirit at the hospital and can't help but think that you were there, and helped send our sweet Anna Rose to us.

Thank you! I'm sure you will miss her. 

I am excited for the day we will ALL be together again. 

 I love you. 

Mom

I made you a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I think you would have loved it. 

Emmaline BIG 7!

 Our Miss Emma turned 7!!

7 things I love about          Emmaline

1. Emmaline has a soft heart and is quick to forgive. 

2. Emmaline is oh so clever. She amazes me ever day with the things she figures out. 

3. Emmaline is beautiful inside and out. She has the most amazing hair and lovely blue eyes. 

4. Emmaline is creative. She makes awesome Lego creations, builds cool forts, makes her own board games, and loves to play pretend. 

5. Emmaline is an artist, her drawings are amazing and her cababilities are far beyond her 7 years. She has an artist's eye, her drawings are so expressive, but there is never any need to guess what or who she was drawing. She is truly gifted. 

6. Emmaline is a musician. There isn't any song that she can't pick out on the piano. I love to listen to her teach herself a new song. She has an incredible memory for music. I often get chills just listening to her play. 

7. Emmaline is very giving and will always share everything or anything she has. 

Emmaline we love you sooo very very much. We are so happy you are part of our family. Our life is so so so much better with you in it! 

Emma gets a pumpkin pie every year for her birthday, but this year she got spoiled with two pies AND a Grandma Griffin Birthday Cake. Lucky girl! 

We put some trick sparkler candles on her cake. She had a good laugh trying to blow them out. 

Loved! (pic overload)

Anna Rose is very much loved. She hardly ever is put down. This pictures are in backward order. 

Creamy milk! Giving her rolls.

I always take pictures at my babies doctors appointments. This time, probably because of severe sleep deprivation I just couldn’t get the picture right. Oh well. Pretty grade level: F

2 week Doc appt. 6 lbs 11 oz. Low jaundice. First baby ever! She may look like a carrot, but her levels are fine. :D 

I LOVE her little dark head.
