We love your responses, but for accuracy's sake, I must report that you do indeed have several nicknames. Your Dad has called you Hamster (for obvious reasons). Alex called you Emma Tate which evolved into Tate or Taters. You have been referred to as Wednesday,Emma Bean, and Queen. You are the best Em. Love, Mom

Emma, I loved your profile, pictures, etc. I am so proud of you! Thanks for sharing. Love, Gramma
(I know it says "Aunt B", thats the label Lys used and I can't figure out how to change it)

Emma, I can't remember when I was that young. Ha! Just kidding but I sure enjoyed your profile. Your pictures are precious too. It's hard to believe you are 19. Enjoy your time in college it goes by so fast.
Hope to see you this summer.
Love,
Cousin Cindy

Emma,

How are you nineteen and in your own place?

A quote from Shakespeare for you ~
Holy, fair and wise is she,
the heavens such a grace did
lend her.
It fits you....

Love,
Aunt Sheryl
