Em is 7 Today!

Emily is 7 years old today! She is a little ray of sunshine and the baby of our family. She fits the third child role well, following in her Uncle Jon's footsteps she constantly makes us all laugh. Here are a few fun facts about Emily.

1. Em loves animals more than anything in the world. Real ones, stuffed ones, cute ones, ugly ones. She views animals the way God views people - she thinks they are all beautiful and wonderful and she smiles when she thinks about them.
   
2. Em has an odd fashion sense. Rarely matches and could care less about what she wears. Very bohemian. We blame Jess.
3. Em has some of the craziest hair in the world, but it fits in well with #2.
   
4. Em has a very tender heart. She loves to watch animal movies and her "eyes get wet" at the drop of a hat.
5. Emily has the busiest social calendar of any kid I've ever seen. She gets invited to more birthday parties and friends houses to play, and more in-school mail than you can believe.
6. Emily used to call chipmunks Ching-Bonks.
7. Emily has roughly a billion stuffed animals and she knows each one by name. Cathie tried to slowly move some of these out of her room over the course of a month and she noticed each one missing.
8. Like a good third child, Emily can entertain herself better than any of our other kids.
9. Emily is involved in dance and has a big (and expensive) dance recital coming up.
10. Emily is very good at the card came speed. She can beat me. And I'm good. Darn good. She is pretty amazing at the game sequence. She wins more than she looses. Again. I'm good.
    

I think her favorite gift was her gift from Aunt Fish and family. Kris got her an animal aquarium that she is keeping pet frogs in.
