| Emma Joy! |
On Tuesday December 31 at 1:11 PM the big moment arrived. Miss Emma Joy was born (7 pounds 6 ounces, 20.5 inches)! She's named after her Great Grandmother (NaNa), whose actual name is Emma Joyce, but has always been known as Emma Joy.
It wasn't an easy pregnancy for Sarah or Emma Joy, but I am so grateful to report that they are both home and doing well.
For Sarah, Joey, James, Mimi and Pop it was love at first sight, and we've all competed with one another the past few days to hold her. James has been the perfect big brother, watching over her intently, helping, loudly and laughingly proclaiming "she did it again" every time she poops!

Beth and I feel very fortunate that we've been able to be here to help out as Sarah recovers and everyone gets used to the new and precious member of the family.

I'm also thrilled that I now have a birthday buddy! We're just separated by 62 years!
