The last few weeks have been incredible. Emma Kate has started smiling a lot more and laughing. She’s also started showing that she recognizes Alison & me. Her face lights up when one of us walks in the room, and she giggles when we talk to her on the phone. It’s the most incredible feeling. What a joy!

Emma Kate’s bestfriend Brittain had planned to come over Halloween night to hang out and do a photo shoot. But Brittain’s mom had other plans. She decided she’d rather spend the night in the Emergency Room for a possible gall bladder attack. Emma Kate and Brittain talked and decided that even though Halloween was over, they still wanted to have a dress up night. They’re the cutest vegetables in Georgia india kamagra!

Two bestfriends have never been cuter!

A rarity… Brittain crying while Emma Kate sitting calmly!
