Baby Emma

Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father. (or call her mother!)

Yesterday I had the sweet joy of meeting my dear friends Aaron & Christine's first little one, Emma Jennifer. I remember the beautiful October day when I was driving through New York wine country when I got the call that they were expecting her! I was beyond thrilled and didn't stop smiling for 2 days! My precious friends (and one time neighbors in the good ol' days!) are just loving, giving, joy-filled people. I am thankful that the Father chose to give them such a precious treasure. Love you sweet little family!

Snow outside of our southern door today!! It is already gone however... Also a bonus photograph of my beautiful nieces, Bella & Poppy. My sis took it, sent it to me for editing, I sent it back to her and it will be in some cards to some of you! Peace~*
