Emeline is Sweet

This morning I was driving kids to the once-a-week school and enjoying listening to Emeline's new song.  She sang, "We get a newborn shout hip hip hooray!" Then the little kids (Harriet was especially enthusiastic) shouted, hip hip hooray.  The song was long and I loved every verse.  "We get a newborn, shout hip hip hooray.  We have a Miriam, shout hip hip hooray.  We have a Cowen, shout hip hip hooray." 

She went through the whole family--each member got his or her own hip hip hooray.  Then she sang, "We have the best mom, shout hip hip hooray.  She made our family, shout hip hip hooray." 

Aww.  Thanks, Emeline.  I needed that today. 

PS The other day I happened to be in the kitchen looking out the window when Emeline was dropped off from Activity Days.  It made me smile to watch her skip up the driveway, pigtails bouncing.  Emeline has a happy heart.
