First Sunday

Emily had to go shopping on Saturday the 16th so that she would have a nice warm dress to wear for her first time going to church! Mum said she could not wear a sleeper for her first Sunday in church. It was quite an experience to find a warm dress since most of the shops have brought out their spring/summer clothes. The Lord provided just the right dress for her to wear.







There was a long line of people wanting to have a hold of our precious bundle. She has brought a lot of joy to our hearts and to the hearts of our church family!












She even got leggings and wore the shoes grandma sent!

Our little rose bud!

The day Emily Grace was born, our rose bush decided to bloom. What a perfect rose it produced.
Emily and Benjamin adore each other. Benjamin thinks she is pretty special.

Emily loves her thumb!








Here she is with her good friends and "cousins" Catie, Emma, and Beka. They all love her to death:)



Roseanne says to Susan "Eat your heart out, Susan." She is trying to get all the holding of Emily before Susan gets home.

A nice quiet moment with mum. I think they adore each other!

Emily with three of the brothers!

Jacob was pretty excited about being first to hold Emily


Ben thinks she is the berries! When he held her, Emily just gazed up at her in awe. After Ben gave her back, he told mum that he thought Emily liked him best! The day we came home from the hospital, Ben came into our bedroom and whispered that he was practicing being a big boy now--since Monday. Now that he was the big brother, he needed to become that big boy.















Andrew was pretty excited about his chance at holding Emily.

All the boys were excited about having the chance to spend time with Emily Grace before her big sister and biggest brother get home from America. They check on her as soon as they get home from school and as soon as they get up in the morning.

Emily with Dad and Mum!
