What a busy few months we've had! Emie turned three on August 8th and we had a fun flower party for her with our family and close friends.
Gus put together quite a spread and his brother Dong is our ever faithful helper with party set up. This man can clean, organize and get the job done :). We'd be lost without him!
Emie requested flower cupcakes, so that is what she had.
She decided on the purple flower, but isn't a big fan of marshmallows so those went to her big brother.
He is a big fan of marshmallows!
Emie received all things girly for her gifts this year. We gave her a doctor's kit as she loves pretend play right now. My parents gave her a Snow White dress which has been put on and taken off several times a day since her birthday. She also received quite the haul of Hello Kitty items and a fairy wand.
It has been quite a year for our little girl! She has grown into her big sister role and is now very good at mothering (a.k.a. smothering) Isaac. She loves to "read" books to herself, any and all types of pretend play, swimming, going on the swings, digging in the sand, puzzles and painting. We have learned this year that Emie is an introvert (at least at this point). You only get to see her true personality in the comfort of her own home and around those she knows well. She is creative and hilarious at home, but is often more shy and needy in crowds and new places. She can be a picky eater and she can be an adventurous eater - you never know with this one! She loves to snuggle and has a tender heart. She just started AWANA this fall and is doing awesome with memorizing her verses. We sure love our little girl and we continue to pray for wisdom to teach her to love and serve God.
