July 19th

4 years ago today, Chris and I welcomed our daughter into the world. Emma Claire Giles. We had no idea what to expect and today we can't imagine life without her. She is silly, sweet, stubborn and super special. I remember so many things from that day in 2007: a quiet drive on the way to the hospital (I was terrified about being induced), wonderful staff and a great hospital room, the pain, my family that came to support us and the biggest smile I have ever seen on Chris' face as he held Emma for the first time. We have experienced many highs and lows with her since then and we can't wait to see what comes next.

Happy 4th birthday Emma Claire! We love you forever and ever and always.
