The Life Of Avia Grace

Nothing is what it seems

A few weeks have past and the babies are three months old today! I can't believe how big that are getting! They were each starting to grow and change in their own way. You could probably guess by now what kind of personalities they were going to have. Olivia is a big blabber who loves to tell your stories and Carson loves to kick his legs and giggle. He seemed to be a big ham, just like his daddy. Today was a big day for my little siblings. It was their Christening! Shelby and Belle didn't really understand the significance of today, but Emma couldn't be more nervous. I was over at my parent's house helping her get ready.

"Have mama and daddy told you who your godparents are?" I asked

"They haven't. I think they want to keep it a surprise" she replied

"Good!" I smiled

"Do you know who they are?" she asked

"I might have an idea." I said

"Hmm...I kind of want to know, but I really really wanna wait and see. I'm just...gosh I don't know why I'm so nervous." she said

"Sissy don't be nervous, I promise everything is going to be okay." I said

"I've just never done something this big before. It's different, you know?" she said

"Yep I do but we all gonna be there to help you." I said

"Thanks sissy. You're the best." she smiled, placing her hand on mine in thanks

"Your welcome." I smiled and we both heard Miss Livi telling her grandma a story coming up the stairs

"Really now?" mama cooed to Livi as she reached the top of the stairs. Livi cooled and wiggles her fingers

"Oh my goodness!" mama smiled, Olivia giggled and cooed and they walked into the room

"Hi my babies." mama smiled as she entered. "How's it going?"

"Hey mama, it's going pretty well." I smiled

"I'm nervous as all get out..." Emma chuckled nervously

"Why baby?" Mama asked

"I've just never done something like this before. It's really special to me." she said

"You will remember this day for the rest of your life. That's a memory, not any people get to have." Mama smiled. Emma nodded and smiled.

"I'm so blessed to have you guys." she said. Mama pulled her close with her free arm and kissed her cheek.

"We're so blessed to have you." Mama smiled. I took Olivia so I could feed her

"Thank you mama. For everything." Emma said, hugging her tight

"Of course Baby." She said hugging her with both arms. Emma closed her eyes and sighed happily. Mama kissed her head

"I love you so much...I'm so glad you're my mommy." Emma said softly

"I love too so much. I'm so glad that I get to be your mommy and that you are my baby." She smiled. Emma hugged her tighter and her smile grew. Mama peppered kisses on her cheek. She giggled and got closer to mama. Mama hugged her tighter. Emma couldn't be happier. This was all she could've ever asked for. About an hour later we were all arriving at the church. Daddy held Shelby, Mama held Belle, and Emma walked between them. Ryan and I were right behind them, we drove my grandmothers to the church

"This is very exciting!" grandma smiled

"It sure it is." I smiled

"How is Miss Emma feeling?" she asked
