STORM2K

....and I have a little secret.

Some of you have known me since the day I was born...all the way back in August of 2001. I live in San Diego with my mommy and daddy and uncle, too (he will be moving out soon I think!). I am almost 19 months old already! What are months? What does 19 mean?

Some of you know my grandpa Poppysky (azskyman). I call him Papa.

I want to tell you a little secret before he knows about it. I like to surprise my Papa.

I heard my mommy tell daddy this morning that I'm going to have a new brother or sister sometime later this year. That sounds like a lot of fun to me. But will I have to learn to share? What's a brother? What's a sister?

Anyway, I wanted to see how long I could keep it a secret from Papa here on Storm2k. I know he visits here now and then, but I can't see any of you. I think it must be boring visiting with people you can't see.

Oh well, my Papa is still somebody I love a lot...even if he talks to people he can't see or hear.

Bye for now. Thanks for letting me tell you this secret. I think he will be very surprised to read about this from me.

Your friend Emma

Oh Emma! Such a wonderful surprise to share with us! I bet your Papa will be grinnin' from ear-to-ear when you tell HIM this secret! I know he mentions YOU often to all of us......he loves spending time with you.

This will be a big change for you little Emma.....but a GOOD change. You'll be the "big sister" now, and such a great help you can be to your parents. There'll be lots of stuff you can help out with......but don't forget to still share special moments with your Papa!.......p

That's awesome!! If you are 1.5 years old, I'm amazed at what you can write!

Congratulations Emma!

Wow, that Emma sure is a smart cookie!!!! She's not only walking, talking but now on the computer!!! LOL

Congrats on the new baby coming Poppy-sky. Oops......this is by far your funniest topic yet. And the most original topic!

Mary

Oh, Emma, you and Poppysky are going to have
SO much fun with your little brother or sister!
I would like to congratulate you and ALL of your
family!

She is definitely 1 smart cookie lol.. I couldn't read till I was 3 lol

That's so cute! Great job Emma, I'm proud of you!! Good luck to your family and to you!

Psssst.. This is Emma again. I hear that my Papa is up and around...wandering these boards this morning. I expect him to stop by any minute!!!

OH, Emma!!! How exciting!!!! You know as soon as you sibling arrives you may need to push your uncle out the door so you have room for all of you!!! Better ask your parents and PaPa first though.hehehe

Tell Mom and Dad we are very excited for them too!!! Can't wait to see PaPa's face when he reads this!!!

That my EMMA? Hey there little lady, what wonderful and exciting news you have! Granny and I were wondering if this year might not be the year for you to have a brother or sister come into your life! That is VERY exciting news.

We called mommy and daddy right up, and they said, "Well, its VERY early to know, but it seems Emma may have heard right! We'll know more in the next few weeks, for sure"

So, precious Emma, that means maybe YOU will have someone else in your life to love and have fun with too!

And you DID surprise your Papa very much!

Now, little lady, I heard that on Friday one of the kids in the room next to yours at day care was looking all over the place for their potty chair...only to discover that you had picked it up and carried it outside to the playground. Poor little guy had to wait til the teacher brought it back in! Now you are beginning to know what "share" means.

Can't wait to see you on Easter!

...and by the way, I really can't see the people on Storm2k when I talk to them, but I know they are there just the same....

hey emma! very nice to hear you'll have someone new to play with! do you think poppysky's knees will be able to bounce the both of you? i sure hope so! we are very happy for you! p

Pawlee - that is just an exceptionally beautiful drawing of Emma you did! In one of her many photo's Steve sends us all, in the background he has his picture hung. And yes Steve proudly points that out from time to time - notice the drawing of Emma Paul did he says!

You have a gifted talent there Paul! I'm impressed!

Mary

Better hang around hear another 18 months or so, Paul. I'll probably be asked to commission you to do Emma's new brother or sister...if all goes well!

Congratulations Emma and Papa, and the whole family!

Emma's gonna have a lot of fun with her new baby sister or brother. She'll get to be the big sis!

Congrats. May you all be blessed.
