I can't even begin to list all of the reasons why we love this little soul.
Emma is so outgoing; she does not know a stranger.
No matter where we are or what we are doing, Emma seems to always draw people to her. She truly does have a magnetic personality.
But the real reason we love her is because she is ours. God chose her just for our family, and as always, His plan is Perfect. We could not have asked for a more beautiful, energetic, healthy, brilliant, spunky, loving, spirited, and charismatic little girl.
We love you Emma Katherine!
From this point forward, there's no looking back to Russia. You are truly ours in body, mind and spirit! It will be an honor to share your Beautiful Life!!!
