Releasing balloons

Our tradition on Emma's birthday/anniversary is to send up balloons and eat cake. So last night we did and Madelyn did much better this year. Last year she did not want to let go of the balloon. This year, no problem. Afterwards, we went in for cupcakes. So we passed them out and are getting ready to eat and Madelyn says "Momma, Emma's not here". Oh... talk about breaking your heart. I told her that she was up in heaven with Papa Mike. We have been talking allot about Papa lately and when asked she will say that  he is "up in the sky with Jesus", those are her words. So she accepted that and went on to eat. Needless to say, Kim and I sat there with tear filled eyes and ate our cupcakes. :(

Here is our picture from yesterday. We had a hard time getting one, between batteries going out in the camera to a two year old not wanting cooperate.
