Bless the Lord! Precious Emmy chose November 23 as the date of her arrival, much to the joy of her family. Kendra began her labor around 1:00 am, was Emmy was born near 1:00 pm. The Orange Cove Parish's were walking out the door to church when we received the notification that 'things were happenin'. After spending the previous week at Daniel and Kendra's waiting for her arrival, I desperately wanted to see her as soon as possible, and perhaps even share in the final moments of her birth. Communication, packing, and driving time was done in the essence of speed. Mom and Dad warned me several times not to "drive like a maniac" which I tried to obey. Nonetheless, travel time was quicker than ever before and with tears of joy, I pulled up Burtonwood road about 45 minutes after Emerson's birth. Precious moments awaited within the door.
Emerson Faith Parish, weighing in at 7 pounds, 15 ounces and measuring 20 inches long. She has the most beautiful skin, with that musky, delicious, brand-new smell. Velvety hair, dark like her Daddy's adorns her head. Her little nails are perfectly formed, and almost long enough to clip. In short, she is precious spelled with a capital P!
'Oma', and Auntie Lindsay turn adoring eyes on the wee one.
