Emerson's First Snow

Brian, Emerson, and I had a great time in the snow!!

New Pics of Emerson

Costumes at Christmas

Since he's Brian's son, Emerson has to dress up for every occasion.

Santa and His Reindeer

Emerson met Santa for the first time today!

When Emerson promised to leave milk and cookies for Santa, Santa asked if he could also set out a few carrots for his reindeer. Then Santa promised that he would leave Emerson an extra present or two if he would sleep through the night on Christmas Eve!!

Tough Times for our Lil' Guy

Emerson had his two month check up today. He was 13 lb. 9 oz. and 24.5 inches long. Everything was going well until he had to get three shots; both mom and son cried. (Dad conveniently had to step out of the doctor's office to take part in a conference call right at that point!!)

Check out Emerson's battle wounds, or better yet, his marks of bravery...

A Special Day...December 6

Emerson was dedicated at church today. During the service we were informed that his name means "peaceful dweller," and we were given a blanket inscribed with his initials and Psalm 29:11, The Lord will give strength to his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.

The Lord has truly blessed us with Emerson. We are so thankful for our son and the gift of parenthood. We pray for God's help as we try to raise Emerson into the man He wants him to be.

All smiles!

Emerson was 8 weeks old on Tuesday. We've been busy playing, singing, and reading. But our most exciting news is that Emerson has been smiling and laughing for the last couple of weeks. Check out our little guy's big grin!
