Project 365 Day 118: An Afternoon with Emily Grace

April 29, 2011

Love in Lavender

Canon 5D Mark ll, 50 1.2L, 1.8 aperture, 1/125 shutter, 100 ISO, window light and a white reflector.

Has your heart melted yet?  Mine is still a sloppy mess. Meet Emily Grace, God’s gift to my friends, Keith and Kelly, who were already blessed with three boys.  She is sweetness, surprise and sunshine all wrapped up in one little-girl bundle. A kiss blown from heaven.

I got to spend the afternoon with her and her mom today. I was so grateful. I have been wanting to see her since she was born, and I thought I might die if didn’t get out there soon. With three brothers, I knew this girl needed a tutu, and fast. In the future there will be fingernail polish, ballet lessons, walking around in high heels too big for her, and ribbons all tied up in her red-braided hair. And that is just the beginning. I want to be there for as much as I can. I love my friend Kelly dearly, and am so happy for her. She got her girl.  I love her name, too. The first time I heard it, I knew it was perfect for her, and them as a family. ” Sweet Emily Grace that lives down the lane”, I teased Kelly. Her big brothers will handle any unwanted suitors that may come along. It’s funny to watch them try to get her to smile.  She pretty much has the whole family wrapped around her tiny little princess fingers. All is as it should be.:)

Blessings to you, Anderson Family. Sweet blessings to you, Emily Grace. I look forward to watching you grow up in grace and God’s love. I will be here to capture it if I can.:)
