Pictures....

These were taken the first week she got home (all 33 pounds of her).



Note the missing tooth.. She told us she ran headlong into a wall about a year before and knocked it clean out.
I believe it.
We had the other front one pulled not too long after this because it was damaged as well.



We took her to Build a Bear and she was a bit overwhelmed and didn't want to pick anything but after a bit of encouraging she ended up choosing the pink poodle and loving it.



Her first trip to Disneyland, summer 2005 riding Buzz Lightyear with Dad


And on the same day we met up with Cathy who had just brought Viktor home a couple of weeks earlier. The two of them hadn't seen each other in months and they had a blast eating at The Blue Bayou and taking pictures of each other.




This is at a Bar Mitzvah about a month after she got home.
She was so shy when we got there but she finally warmed up (obviously).


Emily liked to dress her up and take pictures:



Her 7th birthday:
