My Little Emmy

If only I had told her to look sassy!


Emma turns 3 this month. HaPpY biRtHdaY eMma. We loVe YoU. This past year she has enjoyed playing with babies and pretending to be a princess. She loves princesses and when ever she puts on a dress she says "I'm a princess" and yes she is my little princess. I was getting her ready for church on Sunday and when I put this cute little wool dress on her she got soooo excited, she has been wanting to wear it for a couple of months (it is a hand-me-down from her cousin) it is wool so I've been telling her we have to wait until it is not so hot outside. It is still reaching into the high 80's (today 87 degrees- November 19th) I finally decided to let her wear it, I'm not sure when it is going to get much cooler. After she had it on she said "let's pretend I have a crown." It was really cute. We love you Princess Emma.

READ ALL ABOUT IT

Look who was on the front page of the local news paper. It's 'Honest Abe' the caption is kind of hard to read from the scan but it reads: Bel-Esprit Day School Pupil Isaac Anderson, 5, of Glendale, marches as Abraham Lincoln during a Veterans Day parade in Litchfield Park Tuesday. Several dozen preschool children participated in the event, which honored U.S. military veterans.

Veterans' Day Celebration

Isaac's preschool had a Veterans' Day celebration on Tuesday. It was really cute, all the kids marched in a parade; Isaac was as you can see in the pictures Abraham Lincoln (probably the shortest one you've seen) they also sang "Yankee Doodle" (which Isaac has been singing all week) and a few other songs. They recited the Pledge of Allegiance and we all had a picnic after. Isaac was one of the children with a parent in the Military so he was able to hang a picture of Dusty on the "Wall of Heroes". We are proud of you Dusty for serving our country. Isaac you did a great job marching and singing, we love you.




Living on a military base and having Dusty serve our country has definitely made me feel more patriotic. Everyday at 7 am, 5 pm and 10 pm our national anthem is played on loud speakers that are positioned all around base. If you are outside, you stand facing the music and place your hand on your heart as you listen to the song. If you are driving on base you pull your car over and listen to the music. These 3 minutes everyday spent pondering the freedoms of our country help me remember what a great and blessed country that we live in and it reminds me of the men and women who have given their lives for it. Thank you to all the men and women who serve our country.

Rebuild.

Often times my kids build towers with blocks or Lego's and often times these towers get carelessly knocked over or attacked by dinosaurs. In order for these towers to stand again they must be rebuilt. Like our country we need to rebuild and stand on our own two feet. Senator Obama is all about rebuilding our country, about making it once again a cherished country, the promised land, the country that the rest of the world looks at and sees greatness. It is great, but it is getting carelessly knocked over and attacked. If you have you ever flown on an airplane you have heard the instructions in case of emergency put your overhead mask on before helping your children put theirs on. The same goes for our country we need to stabilize our country before conquering the world.
Go Obama, Go Go Obama!
