Emme: We were watching Afton's gymnastics class the other day. One of the other moms said, "so your husband must be a blondie". The question surprised me and then I realized, she was asking where you came from. People ask me all the time where you come from.
You don't look very much like us. I mean you do, just your coloring is totally different than your brown haired, hazel eyed parents and sister.
I hope it doesn't bug you- because its one of my favorite parts about you! Every. single. time. I get asked the "where did she come from" question, I get to tell everyone about how your Grandma was born blonde and is now jet black. How your daddy has brothers and sisters with blue eyes and how I do too. How your Great Grandma has a painting of when she was young and it reminds me so much of you.
You are so lucky to belong to such an amazing family. Our little family is pretty great, but that's because it has an even larger foundation of pretty incredible people. I love how you remind us of them every day.
