Emilie

My sister Emilie spends every Wednesday night with us. We love to have an extended evening and morning to be together. We usually stay up late talking and then have a busy morning with the children. I am very impressed by Emilie's honesty, her desire to honor the Lord, and her pure spirit. She is a combination of sweet and strong, always wanting to support but also wanting to challenge you if she senses an injustice or any wrong intentions in what you're doing. Emilie is full of fiery potential. She attacks life with such zest and vigor.

Emilie has the unique position in our family of being the sixth born of eleven, nestled between two older brothers and three younger brothers. She is extremely capable in many areas including: vivacious conversations, incredible crafts (drawings, knitting, rag rugs, painting...) wonderful baker ("cookies, cookies I like cookies" ;), melodious musician (she has perfect pitch and is wonderful on both the piano and violin), competitive in sports (including an occasional football jaunt :)... Her talents, strengths and interests are so numerous...

I love that we get to have a small slice of this talented young woman's life.
