This is the very first picture I ever posted. That was 8 years ago. I have been blogging 8 years. I see that I have not changed my blog much at all. LOL. But thanks to all of you for following. This picture is of Emma in the lily garden at her house. She was older than this picture when I started blogging.
Now my little granddaughter is fifteen. She has a birthday this very week. I am still in shock about her being 15.
I am showing some photos of her. Oh you know she would be saying "NO ,don't show those ".
I had braided her when she spent the night. She has thick hair like her mom.
We would do crafts. This is some little playdoh things she made while here visiting, a few years back. Teens don't spend that much time with us any more.
Emma was always' papaw 's girl. They are pals forever.
Some of her drawings . I have always liked the long tailed cats she draws.
There's an annual Hot Dog festival in the town near where she lives.
Here she is with a childhood friend.
She was into cheering for a couple years.
Out to lunch with papaw and I.
Emma loves animals. Here she hold Izzy, the cat.
Shh, do not tell...I am posting some of my favorite photos of her. Oh that baby hair do.
This is when got a hair cut.
I love the sweet dress she is wearing here.
I think I will always love her pictures with Santa. Happy birthday Emma Pooh. You are our sweetheart.
Pray for us tomorrow. It's the all day testing at the Bone Marrow Hospital. Granddaughter Sierra will be taking us and staying with us the entire day. Thank you everyone. XO
Praying for you my friend.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this trip down memory lane with Emma. :-)
Our Sam has an April Birthday too.
Carla, Happy birthday to you Sam. Time gets away too quickly. Emma stayed with Ted and I lots when her mom was going thru breast cancer. We had a lot of time together. Blessings and thank you so much for your prayers honey. xoxo,Susie
Deletewhat a beauty, I can't believe she is fifteen yearold, where did the time go, she sure has a special bond with you and your hubby,,
ReplyDeleteLaurie, Emma stayed with us lots and I was at her house a lot when her mother (my daughter) was going thru breast cancer treatments. She is very special to all of us, she is the youngest grand child. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeletePraying that all goes well! In Jesus' name!
ReplyDeleteCarol, Yes, in sweet Jesus' name. Thank you for the prayers. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeletePrayers that all goes well. She sure is a beautiful young lady. I can't believe how fast time flies. This brings back memories of my two granddaughters. They're grown up now and like you said they go their way but we still got our sweet memories of those little things we used to do when they were small. I tell everyone to enjoy that time while they're little. Take care and you all are in my thoughts and prayers. xo
ReplyDeleteThank you Susie. Your prayers are a sweet gift to us. Yes, our babies are flying the nest...well grandma and grandpa's nest. LOL I do like thinking back to some of our crafting days and some of the evening talks as we would try to fall asleep. I had a day bed with a trundle and Emma and I slept in those. One of the reason she can sing the words to the Golden Girl's theme. LOL Blessings to you sweet friend, xoxo,love, Susie
DeleteAwww, happy birthday Emma! We won't tell you're posting her pictures, Susie!! Best of luck tomorrow, hope all goes well - sending prayers and hugs xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Debbie. Emma is a pretty girl, but these teens think they have to look perfect to let you take a picture of them. LOL. Yet, they do goofy selfies all the time. :) I miss my little Emma. Hard to think she is almost grown. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteShe is a cutie pie and surely will not yelp over being featured so sweetly. (I know something about that sort of yelping.) Yes, you are in my prayers. How wonderful that Sierra will be with you all day tomorrow. Another wonderful granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteVee, I am so very thankful for the prayers. I will post when we find out anything. It will be an eight hour battery of tests. I sometimes children wouldn't grow so fast. It did not seem fast when I was that age and wishing to be grown. LOL. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWhat sweet memories and pictures.Emma is a beauty! I hope that she has wonderful birthday! Happy 8th blogiversary Susie!

DeleteHappy Birthday Emma! Oh, she sure has grown up, Susie. What a wonderful collection of photos you have shared. That first one really got to me, as you know how much I love flowers. I remember seeing that one of her and grandpa. I didn't know she cheered for a couple of years. The one of her and Santa is precious. And I love the play dough goodies she made. Such a good drawer too. I hope she has a lot of fun on her special day.
ReplyDeleteI'm saying a prayer for you both to get through tomorrow's difficult day.
