Emerson Counts to Ten.....ummm sort of.

Christmas 2008

We hope everyone had a safe & happy Holiday Season.

Mommy, Daddy, & Emerson headed up North on Christmas morning to spend time with the Hubbell's. Emerson had fun playing with all of her cousins and spending time with her Grandparents and Aunties & Uncles.

We headed towards home on Saturday morning to spend time with Mommy's side of the family. Thankfully much of the driving fell during her nap times, which helped make things easier. It was a busy few days, but well worth it.

A Visit with Santa

Emerson paid Santa a visit today.

The Best Part of Being a Daddy

Emerson & Mommy spent last Friday through Tuesday in Denver visiting family. Through daily phone calls I was able to catch up on what they had been doing (which included a flu like sickness for little Emerson) and was occasionally able to hear Em say things like "Hi Daddy".
It wasn't until I picked them up from the airport on Tuesday that I realized why being a Dad is such a great responsibility. Mommy had already gathered all of their belongings from the carousel and they were waiting on me to arrive to help transport everything back to the car. As I
got about 15 feet away from them, Emerson noticed me and with a huge smile yelled "I found a Daddy!"
Times like that tend to make you forget about 2AM feedings and nasty diapers.
