I know I have some serious posting to do, but I tried to download pictures to this dinosaur and it wouldn't work. The picture I am posting was taken from my cell phone, so I could have a photo to post.
I just want to take a minute and write this story real quick so I wont forget. Just right now as we were sitting down to dinner Mike and I were talking about the things we were fasting for. Mike said he was fasting for Emily's eye, Anna, and for us to have more children. I said that I was fasting for more children, and for a couple in our ward (Kristal and Matt). After I said that I told Mike that I didn't know if we were going to have more children because I had this feeling that maybe the children part in a blessing I received meant the primary children I am teaching (music chorister). Well, right after I said that Emily piped in with, "Well, I will pray to the Lord tonight so you can have another baby." I told her that was sweet and she started eating her dinner. Halfway through dinner she got up from the table and started to walk away. I asked her where she was going, and she replied with, "I am going to go say a prayer so you can have another baby." She went all the way up to her room, and it was quiet for a little bit. Just as Mike and I were talking about how she probably got side tracked she started coming down the stairs. When she got back in her chair Mike asked her what she said in her blessing and she said here I will do it again. So Mike and I folded our arms and it went a little something like this. "Heavenly Father, bless Mom to have another baby, bless the orange to come out of my shirt, bless Mordecai to not be a brat, bless Mom to have another baby, name of Jesus Christ Amen." After she was done Mike and I both told her Thank You, and I said it is great to have such great faith. Well, right after I said that she said another prayer to bless her to have enough faith.
Weather we will have more children is an unknown right now, but I just wanted to share how sweet OUR Emily is. She is a great example to us about faith, and prayers, and every time she prays it is more and more thoughtful. We love her so very much.

Such a precious story. Loved reading it!
Awwwww, that's so sweet! I'll bet her prayers get answered. I've got to be sure to have her pray for what I want ;)
She's such a special girl! She's very impressive during nursery lessons... she knows SO much!
What a sweet girl you have!! Um. . . why did she have an orange in her shirt?
What a sweetheart! I thought we were done having children 7 years ago but...surprise. It will happen when you least expect it and aren't thinking about it. In the mean time you can enjoy the beautiful little ones you have.
