11-year-old Emma

I am thankful for Emma! I am behind on putting up a post about her, since I had a little bit of unexpected drama on her birthday this year. Emma is such a sweetheart and I love her so much. Emma has a sweet, tender heart, and she cares deeply about what others think of her. One of Emma's greatest strengths is her honesty and her desire to do what's right. She is a perfect example of someone who lives a life of integrity. If Emma ever tells a fib she immediately recognizes it and tries to fix it. She takes schoolwork seriously and strives to get good grades. At home, she tries to follow the rules and be kind to everyone. She loves her family dearly.
