My favorite girl turned 15 today, the 21st of September!Emily Victoria Schaumann
Happy Birthday!
Emily at 9 mos. old. This was the age she was when I lost my Mom to cancer.
Emily with a book my Mom gave to her before she died.
A church photo.
Many summer vacations to the "Riverside Rabbit" in Richmond, MN before we purchased our own cabin near Spicer.
Emily was never into dolls. She was always into stuffed guys like this big tiger and farm animals. She would play for hours with her cows, sheep, horses, and farm barn stuff.
Little girls are oh so fun to dress up when they're young.
Flower girl for cousin Julie's wedding.
Emily in 2nd grade. Loved doing her hair.
My little girl.
One of 5 trips our family has taken to Mexico together.
Ft. Myers Beach, Florida. Emily has her Dad's sense of humor.

Heading out for school the first morning of her sophomore year.
She took her permit today and passed, so look out for a new driver.
I am so proud of you Emily and am proud to be your Mom.
Happy Birthday!
Love you-
Mom

Happy Birthday to your beautiful Daughter, that is also my Dad's birthday.

If you get a chance, stop by my Blog for a visit and say hi! I just put up a new post...
Have a great day,

What a beautiful daughter you have and you are such a proud, sweet mum! She looks so much like you...
ReplyDeleteI loved your jewelry at the Bonanza. I stoppped by to chat with you but you were very busy with another customer who was equally enamored of your jewelry. Congrats on the feature in the Tribune. What a coup!
Cheers,
Linda
Hi Gretchen, Thanks for the visit on my post about Kathy. She is indeed a fun and talented girl- we're making plans to meet soon. And no, it's not as long a trip as to MN. thank goodness. Looks like you're a talented jewelry maker. Good luck with your sales! Oh, and you have a beautiful daughter.
