Happy Birthday to Me!

It’s my birthday! Let’s celebrate with a few photos of the young Emily.

This photo marked the beginning and the end of my modeling career. The intense-big-eyed-over-the-right-shoulder look was my very own “blue steel.”

Awww! The freckles emerged. I think this was taken around the time when I decided I was never going to wear anything but skirts and dresses ever again. And believe me, I meant it!

I always liked how our family friend Kate makes a big deal about congratulating mothers on their children’s birthdays. So a big “happy birthday” to my mom today!
