A Complete Joy!

Emma-Caroline will be turning four on March 3rd. It's hard to believe that four years ago I was anxiously awaiting my sweet little baby girl's birth. And now four years later, here she is, a beautiful fun-loving, sweet, and spirited little girl. It has been such a complete joy for Howie and I to have this precious little girl in our lives. We feel so blessed to have been given such a beautiful gift from God. When we named her Emma Caroline, I found in doing research on her name that in fact it means "Complete (Emma) Joy (Caroline)". How fitting! We decided to call her by her complete name and even now sometimes hyphenate it to emphasize that she is called by both. Yes it is a long name, but she knows how to spell and write it without help and will correct you if you only call her by one of her names. Since she is a "complete joy" I am glad that we call her by a double name and that she so proudly wears it. Happy almost birthday Emma-Caroline! Mommy and Daddy love you very much!
