Emma

Emma just continues to amaze me. Our lives have been so unpredictable for the last 5 months yet she has continued to be a smiley, happy, agreeable kid.

She was so excited yesterday when her new passport book arrived in the mail. She has a Chinese passport that she enjoys looking at once in awhile with her special China things. We also had a US passport card for her because we used to travel through Canada a lot to see my brother in Rochester, NY. Now that we are moving to Rwanda, she needed to have a passport book. When we went to get her picture taken, she was really excited. She has seen our blue passports lots of times and couldn't wait to get her own. She stood really still and said, "fuzzy pickles!" Everyone in the post office cracked up.

When we got the mail and pulled out her blue passport, she got a huge smile on her face and said, "let's go to Africa!!" She talks about it all the time. She really is excited to go. We have been talking about pre-school. And she says that she is "going to teach the babies about science." So funny! What an amazing kid we have. We are so blessed.
