Wishing Well

Today is Emerson's mini-birthday!  My little girl is already 27 months old! 

We spent part of the day at the Mission San Juan Capistrano.  I was able to get a lot of nice pictures of her there.  I never knew how difficult it was to get a good picture of an active toddler.  I would say if you could get one out of 10 in which she's not blinking, putting her hand somewhere on her face, turning her head, etc.... then that's pretty good!

Anyway, one of my favorite shots today was when came across a fountain at the Mission.  I showed Emerson last week how to throw pennies into the fountain at the mall, so today she asked me for a penny.  She doesn't know how to make wishes yet so I made them for her.  She threw in three pennies so my three wishes for her are:

That we are doing all we can and more to let her know she is unconditionally loved and safe right now, and to assure her that we are indeed her forever family.

That her precious little heart is healing from all that she's gone through, and that we can understand and tend to the heartache and pain that she doesn't express.

That our little girl will always, always know in her heart just how much she's loved!
