Happy Birthday Emily!

Emily, thirty-six years ago we welcomed you into our lives and the rest, as they say, has been history. You were the best thing ever; I never wanted to leave home. I only wanted to stay and play with you. When I did go to work or school, your happy welcome when I returned always filled me with joy. Such a bright and happy little sucker you were. As a matter of fact, you still are (bright and happy).

Tonight was Emily's birthday party and the family joined her at the Bombay House for supper followed by birthday cake and ice cream at the Ensign's house. It was a beautiful evening and we stayed outside. The kids ran footraces, danced, and piled on Grammy and Auntie Katy. Fun times.

You are a great daughter and we love you very much. Happy birthday!

That's all for now.
