EMILIE'S BIRTHDAY!!
I can't believe that she is a year old already. God has really blessed us this year. Eventhough things aren't the way we had hoped and we have to go through this, God couldn't have given us a better daughter. If you've met her personally you know what I'm talking about.
Emilie loves everyone. Her eyes sparkle when she has a visitor and she fights going to sleep if a visitor is in the room. She has a sweet disposition and is very content and cheerful. I'm so thankful that God has given her this disposition. She has shown me that eventhough things aren't perfect there is still a reason to smile and look at the bright side of everything.
We had Emilie's birthday party on Friday, April 6, 2007. On the fifth floor of the hospital in the North Atrium. Some of the people that attended were (forgive me if I forget you); Great-grandma and grandpa Wright, Grandma Updike, Auntie Lori and Dallas, Auntie Monique and Jared, Auntie Beatrice and Joel, Mommy's friend Mimi Marchewka and Breeze, Mommy's friend Diane Nystrom and her sister Elaine, Pastor John Drisner and of course - Mommy, Daddy and big brother Taylor. Emilie had a great time!! She got lots of presents and even tasted the icing on her cake, which she LOVED!! Thanks to all who attended.
We also want to thank everyone who joined us in fasting and praying for Emilie that day. Please continue to pray for her. We are hoping to take Emilie to church the next time that Darwin is home. Thanks for all of you who are continuing to support us in prayer. We feel really blessed to have so many people in our lives who pray for us and support us in prayer. You are all really special and we hold you all close to our hearts. (yes, even if we haven't met).
We love you all!!
PS we got the charger for Emilie's external battery this past week and were able to take her to get her pictures taken at Wal-mart. We sent out a photoparade to those who are on our list. You can check out the pictures on the multiply site.
Darwin, Sherri, Taylor and especially Emilie!!
