Mission: Moris Family Journey: No Way She's 7!!!

Seven years ago my world changed forever....I became a Mom.

With the blinking of your big wide eyes, you won our hearts and captivated our lives.

Over the past seven years I see you in snap shots in my mind and my heart. I see you through a stream of tears as you were first placed into my arms. I see you has a baby, taking a bottle from your Daddy then night he left for Iraq. I see you squealing and screaming jumping up and down in your excersaucer. I see you putting a puzzle together when you were just 1 year old. I see you scooting around on your bottom when you decided you didn't need to crawl. I see yellow ribbons in your pig tails the day your daddy came home from Iraq...you were only 15 months old. I see you sleeping in your first big girl bed, holding bingo, lucy and black puppy. I see you carefully inspecting your new little baby sister Lily and singing to her in her bassinet. I see you making shapes with playdoh. I see your face covered in chocolate "puddnee". I see you dressed as in angel in the church pagent begging for the microphone while everyone giggled. I see you saying, "No way baby" :-) I see you doing your very best in your first dance rectial and smiling proudly when it was all finished. I see you asking me for more "tomato sauce" for your "pink sausages" in australia. I see you reading Lily a book quietly in the chair without being asked. I see you praying at bedtime, sincerely talking to God about your thoughts. I see you loving your friends - sharing a lunch with a friend who had none without being asked. I see you working hard at piano even when you feel frustrated. I see you loving your baby sister Jana and watching out for her. I see you when you make a mean face at your sister...then I see when you notice that I saw that...oops! I see you crying, missing your Daddy. I see you at your birthday party, telling your friends that having them for friends is the best present you could ever ask for. I see you at Aunt Charlotte's house, riding on a horse, without a care in the world. I see a little girl who loves Jesus with all her precious heart. Emma, I see you when you don't know I am looking.

I see you sweet girl. I love what I see. You are so special, so smart, so imaginative, so loving.

Happy Birthday to the little girl who I see making a difference in my life, in our family and in the world around her. She makes my world special each and every day!!
