On June 14,
2004, Flag Day, the first of our granddaughters, Emma Marie, was born. H
enri and I thought Betsy would be an appropriate name (in honor of Betsy Ross), but Emma’s parents thought otherwise. Emma lives with Dad Kip, Mom Angie, and Little Sister Savanah, who is 3½ years old.Yesterday, we attended Emma’s 6th birthday party. We almost traveled to the party a day early because Dad Kip told us the party was on Saturday, and we didn’t pay attention to the date on the invitation. Emma completed her kindergarten y
ear at St. Boniface School several weeks ago, and this year’s party included family and also some of Emma’s classmates and their parents. The day was perfect for a swim party – sunshine, a temperature about 95º, and a heat index between 100º and 105º. The children enjoyed the pool, and, thankfully, Henri and Ginger had the shade of a patio umbrella and fans to provide relief from the heat. After about an hour of swimming, Emma opened LOTS of gifts and
everyone enjoyed ice cream and the “Barbie” birthday cake.Emma, you’re a sweet little girl, and we are glad we could come to your birthday party. We wish you many more happy birthdays, and we hope you have a great summer and a wonderful 6th year.
Love from Grandpa Henri and Grandma Ginger
Emma said thank you for the blog spot, she thought it was cool.
