A new life begins

Here are some photos of Emmy within her first month or two of life:

Leaving the Hospital

At the hospital with Dad

We were so glad to have Erika's mom, Grandma Ruth/Ruthie with us for the first four weeks to help take care of Emmy. She took care of Emmy all night, letting us rest peacefully. We believe this helped train Emmy not to be so nervous being in her crib away from Mommy all night.

Here are a few photos of Emmy on her blessing day. We did the blessing at my mom's house. And thank you, mom, for the beautiful blessing dress.
