On Grace and Benjamin's birthdays, I told them their names in Japanese characters and I had planned to do yours too, so here goes.<BR/><BR/>Do you remember that Grace's name came out as Megumi, which means Grace, and is written like this <BR/>恵?<BR/><BR/>Your name can be written starting with the same character, which can also be read as "E", like this<BR/>恵美理<BR/>You pronounce it E-MI-RI and the characters each mean Grace, Beauty and Reason. Isn't that a lovely name? It is used in Japan for girls quite often, though sometimes the characters chosen are different.<BR/><BR/>You look like you had a great day - enjoy the year ahead of you!Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586437968219484958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-4426472545159232422007-06-22T14:37:00.000-05:002007-06-22T14:37:00.000-05:00Happy 8th birthday, Emily!!!

I remember as a child, laying on the floor with the Cinderella book in front of me just reading it over and over again. One page that really sticks in my mind is the page that showed the long flight of stairs in their mansion and dreaming that someday I would live in a house like that. :o) Anyway, to my penpal and new friend Emily, I do wish you a year of special joys and adventures!<BR/>Hugs,<BR/>JaniceJanicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905956108283208842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-32951444701198788282007-06-21T10:57:00.001-05:002007-06-21T10:57:00.001-05:00Looked like a perfectly wonderful birthday.
