Every year for Mother's Day, Kris has supervised the kids in making breakfast in bed for me. But this year Emmie beat him to the punch. She woke up at 5:45 (we don't have church until 1:00 this year) to start the process. She came into our room at 6:30 with a tray full of toast, yogurt, strawberries and oatmeal. But it was so early and I was asleep, so Kris told her to wait until 7:00. At 7:00 she came back in (with same breakfast in toe) to feed me--but I was still asleep. So dad said, "Let her sleep--come back at 7:30." Finally, at 7:30 she came back to share the same breakfast. She was thoughtful and reheated the oatmeal. It was a wonderful breakfast, all the more so since she did it all on her own. She is very thoughtful and I am grateful to have her as my daughter. Josh didn't make it for this picture, but I am glad to be the mom of four wonderful kids. I am very blessed.
