Today, June 14th, is, in the United States, Flag Day; it commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened that day by resolution of the Second Continental Congress in 1777.

What makes this day even more important, and special, is that it’s my Granddaughter Emma’s birthday; My Flag Day Baby, as I call her.

The eldest of our Grandchildren, Emma, is an absolute joy to our family.  As I sit here and write this post, I cannot believe how quickly these past years of her life have taken her from a bubbly baby to nursery school, Cheerleading, an outstanding high school student and, most importantly.. Grandma’s favorite shopping buddy. 

What more could I ask for?

 

         

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tonight, we will celebrate with a family dinner and her favorite birthday cake while following the yearly tradition of talking about the morning she was born; how becoming Grandparents was the best gift my husband and I would ever receive. 

Happy Birthday to Miss Emma Jean, we heart you dearly!
