Welcome Spring...and Emmett!

Yes, we've turned a new corner...becoming parents! We are so proud to welcome our son, Emmett to our lives and the world. 

 Good bye sleep and hello new love.

We feel beyond blessed to have had such an uneventful pregnancy and smooth delivery. At times we look at him and can't believe that he's finally here. I can only speak for myself, but there is nothing like becoming a parent. The immense responsiblity sounds overwhelming if you think about it too much, but it comes so naturally as this new love takes over and everything falls into place.

Over the past 2 weeks, we've been super busy figuring out this whole parenting thing with visitors and resuming normal life. Here's a bunch of pictures of our new pride and joy and how we've been spending our time.


Brand new baby. Emmett Peter, 7pounds 3ounces 19 1/2inches...perfection.

Tired mom, pretending it was a breeze:)

Proud Papa and great partner during the final moments of delivery

Back home with Grandma and Grandpa Rigelman

Aunties Lana and Leigha made a day trip (cousin Timmy came too)

 Aunt Lana (the family germaphobe) has come a long way...Timmy on the dog beds.

I feel like just yesterday, Timmy looked just like Emmett. Now look at him, feeding himself yogurt.
Thanks for making the trip over Timmy:)

Honorary Auntie Nikki came to make us dinner, spend the night, and hang with Emmett

On our way to the doctor!

Not too happy about bath time

Ah, much better. Love this picture...our little duck.

Some quality time with the Radcliffes (aunt Pam).

Emmett gripping uncle Darin's big hand

Kisses from momma. There's an endless supply of these. 

And who could forget about our pups. We still love you:)
They've been really good with Emmett. Atlas doesn't even want Ruby to get close too baby.

More adventures to come!!!
