All about Auntie Em!

So...you ask why does this 29yo young woman wish to be called Auntie Em with such enthusiasm?! Here's the story...On October 20th, 2003, this baby girl entered the world and transformed Emily J Huntoon's life forever. She became "Auntie Em." (Travel back 25 years...) Auntie Em grew up as the youngest and only girl in a family of 4 children. So, naturally she was born a "princess" and was naturally spoiled, (but not rotten). She loved having 3 older brothers to follow around, learn sports from, and play Star Wars with; but at times, longed for a younger sibling to care for. A set of twin Cabbage Patch kids and a baby CP doll would have to suffice. There were never many babies in EJH's life until her brother, Schon, and sister-n-law, Linda, brought Maya Yvonne Garrison into the world that Monday night in 2003. Since that day, Auntie Em has prided herself in being an "auntie." Three more nieces and nephews, one adopted nephew, and one niece on the way, later, Auntie Em is always in heaven to see those smiling faces. To recieve the hugs and kisses of little ones that she always longed for is nothing compared to that of canvas dolls with unusually large cheeks...
