My Happy Girl

I have been looking at my baby lately and realizing that she is not a baby anymore...look at this beautiful girl. She has grown up so much this year. The best thing about Emma is she is so easy to please....she usually has a smile on her face and if not, all you need to do is give her some watermelon, the beach and a friend!



This girl could eat watermelon all day.....and strawberries, but there is no shortage of watermelon here in CR so she gets her fill quite regularly.

Looks like she is just pondering about how delicious this actually is

The other thing that brings her lots of joy here is her best friend Luc! These 2 look more like twins huh? Luc and his family are from Canada and are living here for 6 months. They have become like family to us and we will miss them dearly when we leave. Luc and Emma have so much fun at the beach together. They wear themselves out boogie boarding, swimming away from the sting rays, laughing, playing in the sand, and collecting shells.

Aren't they cute? Good thing they are only 7 and 8. Emma misses Grace terribly still, but Luc has been a good shoe in for a best friend here....once she came to grips with the fact that he is a boy and it is perfectly ok to have a "boy friend" at her age...
I hope that when we move back to the states, the simple things will still make this girl smile.
