For Sophie:

Here is a story for Emerson's very best friend in the whole world, Sophie. Emerson dictated the words to me herself. Emerson and Sophie have been best friends since their first breath. We moved from D.C. when Emerson was only 2 1/2 years old. Yet, Sophie has still remained her dearest friend. Emerson has a little friend here who she is very close to, Miya ("Miya from church and school"). Emerson will say Miya is my new best friend (for the last two years) and Sophie is her "all my life best friend". I just love this little girl's loyalty. She includes BOTH her best friends in her prayers. Emerson talks of the plans that she has for Sophie all the time. "Sophie and I are going to go to the zoo together" or "Sophie and I like to make sand castles at the beach together"

So Sophie, this is for you (you may have to double click the pictures to enlarge and read better). We love you, Sophie:
