"St. Emma the Worker"

When I was younger my aunt and uncles used to tease me that I was "St. Betsy the Worker."  I always loved to do jobs, clean, and complete tasks . . . they would say that I was always working.  I may have passed that love onto my little Emma.  She is such a helper.  

Michael is in full-day kindergarten, and Sarah takes a nap in the afternoon, so Emma and I have a few hours of one-on-one time each day.  She is always so willing to do little projects with me, and she always makes it more fun.

Today we made Chicken Cordon Bleu for dinner.  She is getting to be a really great chef, and is great at assembly lines.  Then we built this storage unit for our craft supplies.  She had her own tools and as we went along she tightened one side while I did the other.  She has definitely got some skills.  Our sweet Emma is such a joy to have around.  She is such a happy, sweet, gentle and kind little spirit.  I love my St. Emma the Worker.
