Did I ever miss these girls…
If you’re a faithful reader of this blog (hi, mom and dad!), then you might be anxiously awaiting some more Natalie and Emma photos and stories. Well, as someone who adores those little girls, let me tell you that I had been anxiously looking forward to spending some time with the girls. My opportunity finally came last week.
Because of vacation and other schedule conflicts, it had been weeks since I had really talked to and snuggled with the girls. Our happy reunion began on Wednesday night at church. It started with a calm, happy embrace from Natalie and ended with Emma running at me, giggling, arms wide open, and a long, silly embrace. Allyson told me that Emma had been asking about “her Beth” for two weeks. Love that, and, just ask Jeff, I had been asking about “my Emma” and “my Natalie” for equally as long!
Yesterday morning I was doing my monthly stint in the nursery, and I got to spend some more quality time with Emma and the many other cute kids who hang out there during the service. I also learned from Allyson that Emma had even played “Jeff and Beth” one time with Emma playing the role of me and Allyson playing Jeff.
After church our Killer Uno-playing friend went to lunch, which is where the photos were taken. Natalie sat with me and Emma sat with Jeff. For as excited as Emma was to see me earlier in the week, she certainly only had eyes for Jeff at lunch. They were too cute!
