Take my breath away!

Lately I have been really busy with juggling two jobs, a 20 month old, a house, a husband, the difference in this pregnancy to the last one and extended family. However...

The things that have taken my breath away!

*Two little hands touching my cheeks and a beautiful face right in front of me, giving me a kiss with a passy in her mouth, then taking the passy out and smiling saying "No passy" and laying a big wet kiss on my lips with the reply of "MMMM DELICIOUS"!

*A soft hand on my belly "Baby Boy, Mommy!" She is determined that the baby in my belly is a boy.

*"I Love you BUNCHES Mommy!"

*"Mommy, outside, feed posies Mommy, feed apples to posies Mommy!"
(she has mixed the words Pony and Horses)

*"Mommy, read book!"

*"I help you Mommy?" even when I may not want it she helps.

These are only a few things that make me laugh and smile everyday. I am truly blessed to have a healthy, beautiful, loving little girl. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't kiss her and tell her how lucky I am to have her in my life. She is so amazing with her little brain working hard and eyes wanting to see everything in sight. She doesn't want to miss a thing.
She loves her Papa and Nanna, CA CA, and Bubba so much and they are such a big part of her life, I am so blessed that they want to be with her as much as I do.
Those are the things that take my breath away!

My Dearest Emmy~

Over the years that I have known you there is so much you have taught me, much like you have taught others. You remind me of the song that you and I listened to while we were watching one of your favorite channels on T.V. CMT. LeAnn Womack came on and sang I hope you dance. I watched as you sang the song along with her and you moved back and forth on the couch. Emmy at that moment I knew you danced every day of your life.

A part of LeAnn’s song says:

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean.

Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens

Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get to sit it out our dance

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',

Emmy you have danced! From the moment you smiled your guarding angels danced.

Never settle for the path of least resistance. Your path was not an easy one but you took your path with your head held high and a smile on your face.

Livin might mean takin chances but they’re worth takin. You have takin chances every day of your life.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance, Emmy you saw the mountains in the distance, you didn’t fear them, you concurred them. When someone thought there was a door that had slammed in your face, you proved them wrong by not only opening the one in your face but opening one for them too.

You have defiantly danced your way into many hearts, mine included. You have helped me realize to go after my dreams, never give up and to dance with a smile on my face. Your smile was contagious! Even when I couldn’t see your face I knew you were smiling by the tone of your voice. I will miss your phone calls, you had a way of knowing when I needed an Emmy pick me up! You even called me on my honey moon, I was glad you called because I was excited to tell you what Tim McGraw and I were doing. However I think your mom was a little mad about that phone call.

I will miss receiving your warm hugs and being called Dixie Chicks.

Emmy you not only have danced here on earth but are now dancing with your angels. Watch over all of us. Help your family remember you by continuing to open the doors that may be tough for them to walk through, help them to see you on the other side encouraging them. Help them to realize that it is not good bye; only so long for now, for we will all see you again, in heaven dancing with the angels.

I will love you always
