PROTECTIVE GRANDMA

I appreciate all who read and comment on Life with Emma. Having said that, I am now carefully monitoring any comments and making the decision as to whether or not a comment can be published or considered spam. I am not happy about having to do this, but there are folks in this world who choose to be unkind and/or use this as a forum for their own agendas. I will not allow such comments to be directed toward any member of my family. I welcome your comments, HOWEVER, they must be in English. Thank you for your ongoing support! Hugs to all. Emma's Grandma

AND LIFE GOES ON

Jacob turns one on Saturday! Happy birthday, little brother! Who knows, maybe I'll decide to take a short walk like I did last year. Just need to remind everyone that I'm the big sister! Great things planned for the birthday celebration...jolly jump, pinata and lots of family.

Cousin Myles made his long awaiting arrival on April 25th. Yet another boy for me to contend with. He's a cute little guy who gives me great big smiles and Aunt Jenny and Uncle Jerry seem to like him, so I guess we'll keep him around. It helps that he's a redhead just like me! Bryce, Myles' big brother, came to visit so I was the only girl surrounded by a sea of boys...geez!

School will be starting soon. I said good-bye to my teachers and friends at the end of the school year 'cuz I'll be transferring to a school closer to home. Grandma had a hard time telling people good-bye but I'm looking forward to making new friends, working with my new teacher and aides, and getting to know all my new therapists. This should be an exciting year!

Aunt Jackie's and Luke's wedding is just a few months away. Silly Grandma is starting to move into panic mode! Grandpa keeps telling her to relax, but she refuses to listen. We're anxiously awaiting the arrival of my gown and flower basket...then the fun begins. Can you imagine an active, almost seven-year old girl holding still for dress alterations?! My dress is long but Grandma wants it hemmed to tea length; she thinks I might trip in a long gown. Who knows, I may surprise her and do just fine with a long dress! Will let you know how things work out!

Gotta go...mischief calls & there are little boys to keep in line! Hugs to all! XOXO, Emma
