All my life I knew I wanted to have a daughter.  I always thought it would be so fun to dress her up like I did my baby dolls when I was little.  I had this seemingly perfect idea of what she would be like.  God knocked my socks off with our precious little girl Emalynn Elizabeth.  Never could I have imagined how wonderful having not just a daughter…but having her would be.  God truly made her beautiful…from the inside out.  I am so grateful God created our precious, sweet Em and chose us to be her parents.

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self,the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.  1 Peter 3:3-4
