Happy Birthday to Emily who is 6 today! And Happy just born Birthday to our new nephew Ryan, who was born yesterday! (Born to Wade's brother Chad, and his wife Jennifer.) That makes 12 Grandkids on the Prestrud side so far! (This photo is just of our 3 and Chad's 4.)
Emily will be celebrating Scooby Doo style today. Em, you are such a blessing in our family. I love your kind, gentle spirit, your childlike excitement about life, your generosity...I love the way you play with your little brother and try to include him even when he pesters you. I love it that you like to snuggle. And I'm so glad that your heart is tender toward the things of God. We pray blessings for you on your birthday, this next year, and beyond. May you come to know even more the God who loves you and gave his life for you. He is the only One who satisfies, the only One who can sustain true joy. I see Him often in you, my little girl.

Happy Birthday Emily! I was so touched by her sweetness when we visited you guys in Indiana a few years ago. Hope she has a terrific Scooby Doo birthday!
Yay! Happy birthday, Emily... Em, 3 years ago, we attended your birthday party in the Hudson park, next to the river. You got tired from playing on all the park equipment and, eventually, came and crawled into my arms and fell asleep. I will never forget that day... you made me sure that I would one day be a mommy to a 3 yr. old. :-)
You are such a kind and affectionate girl... hope you have an amazing birthday, Em!
