Emmaline Charlotte is here!


I'm in Oklahoma and we're in the pink! Baby Emmaline Charlotte is here. (In the above photo with her Mom and a new stuffed dog. Her version of Molly's dog, Nurshey.) She arrived Wednesday, June 18th at 10:15 p.m. Central Time after twelve hours of induced labor. She weighed in at 8 pounds and 20 inches long. She has dark brown hair, long slender fingers and at first glance looks like Brenda's baby pictures, but on closer observation we can see she's a mixture of her parents with significant similarities to her siblings.
Most of all she submits to being cuddled closely which is my favorite duty and as the picture demonstrates, seems to be her Dad's as well.
Wearing her brand new newborn size jumper and top, she came to her home.


Here's Brenda on the 16th . As you can see, baby was very ready. We had the pool all to ourselves and when we left it was closed due to incoming bad weather. And yes, it got bad; rain like the west has never known.

What a beautiful granddaughter. We think she kind of looks like our little one. They seem to have some of the same facial features. Congrats!
