Happy Birthday...we Wish You Were Home

Hello all~
Today our dear daughter in Guatemala has turned 1. We so wish she was home with us. I am going to do my best to stay positive today...but I know that it will be hard.

Anyway, I love you baby Emma and we hope you are home soon and most importantly we wish you a happy first birthday.

Happy New Year everyone

Happy Birthday Emma!

I know this must be hard for you. Do something special for yourself today. I am sure she is in good hands, so hopefully that gives you some comfort.
