It seems but a breath of time since we welcomed Snapper into the world. And what a delight she has been to our family in these 6 years! She adds so much to the unit that is us. Her curiosity keeps my mind active and busy, searching for answers to the never-ending questions. She delights and entertains me with the funny things she says. She reminds me so much of myself at this age! She humbles me when she mirrors my bad attitudes and behaviors. She inspires me to grow closer to God, to trust with the faith of a child. She brings joy. What else can I say? I'm thankful for my sweet daughter.
Age 5 has been quite a year for Snapper. Here's a list of highlights from her year.

I invite you to take a look back at Snapper's year. I have prepared a slideshow for you at snapfish.com. You'll have to create an account if you don't have one. But it's free and only takes a minute. I hope you enjoy it!

Emily, you are such a light and an encouragement... just watching your slide show encouraged me. God has blessed you emensly. It's obvious and aparent. You can see it in the eyes of your Children, the smiles of your family and the beauty that you and Matt share in your Romance. I am thankful to have reconnected with you and to call you friend.
