The poor thing looks like her mama! Just kidding. She looks like she would be fun to have around and seems happy with her mama. Enjoy her as much as you can while she is there, she will be grown and gone before you know it. My daughter just phoned and is comming down to spend the afternoon with her mom and me. We enjoy her visits so much.

Children with a loving, non-depressed, non-JW, positive thinking, planning for their future, taking responsibility for their life parents are the best.
Moe, she is adorable and lucky to have you!

The following is my post from another thread. It seems appropriate in this one:
I never wanted to have children. Why bring them into the world only to suffer and eventually die? To me, that would be selfish. Then I got pregnant, which was odd because I was on birth control pills. Of course this was 23 years ago and the pill wasn't as effective as it is now.
I considered my options and could not bring myself to have an abortion. So, I gave birth to my only child. I am so glad that I did. I learned what it is to totally and unselfishly love another human being, to put his interests above my own. I learned so much through my conversations with him. I actually had my faith in the possibilities of the human race restored. I also think that having my child kept me out of trouble because I was a rebel without a clue when I was a young adult.
When my son was 5 years old, he overheard a friend and me talking about her abortion. Later that day he asked me what an abortion was. I told him that an abortion is when a pregnant woman, for whatever reason, maybe it was because she didn't have a husband, or enough money to raise a child, decided that she didn't want to be pregnant anymore and went to the doctor who used a small vacuum to take the pregnancy cells out of her belly so that she would no longer be pregnant.
I asked my son if he understood what I was saying. He put down his Leggos and ran up to me throwing his arms around my legs. He said "Mommy, I am so glad that you had me and not an abortion because I love you". I picked my son up, hugged him to me and told him how very much I loved him and how happy I was that I didn't have an abortion.
I still cry when I think about that day 17 years ago. I am glad that I didn't have an abortion. I am so happy that my son is here, in this world. His existence still gives me hope for the future of humankind.
If there had never been a child in my life, what joy would there have been for me? Not much. I doubt that I would even be alive. By giving life to my child, he in return gave life to me.

Hey Mr. Moe, how are you darlin'??????????? So glad to see you back posting , I have missed ya, and just the other day thought about getting in touch with you to check on you and Emmie.
Those pictures of her are adorable. Becareful thou, I turned around one day and my little girl, grew up. My Kelly is 9 and I miss the little girl she was. She is also tall for her age , almost tall as me, lol, that is not tall at all , but it is strange to see them seem to grow up so fast. Take lots of pictures of her and stop and smell the roses with her.
When Kelly was 17 months old , I went in premature labor with her little brother Chance, and he was sick for 3 yrs. I missed out alot of my little girls growing up because I had so much on my hands. I would do anything to go back , especailly with her and have more time than I did. I did the best I could but there was so much to be done with Chance. We are very close thou, and it is exciting seeing her change into a bigger little girl........ she likes music and her friends , the bigger girl stuff. I took some pics of them on Halloween I just need to get them developed and post them.
I didnt plan on my third child at all, in fact I thought I was "covered" and took 3 preg test to confirm I was pregnant.... didnt even believe the doctor....lol. But I am blessed to have all of my children, and each one brings more love than I have ever known. There is something so pure and true as a child's love.
Give Emmie a hug.................. hugs to you Moe,,,,,,,,,Dede
