Welcome Baby Christopher!

Christopher Matthew Emerson was finally  born last night.  He is 6 lbs 7oz and is doing very well, all  things considered.  Keep him in your prayers.  We will have more news on Wednesday.  He really is a cute boy!

 Congratulations to the proud parents!

Mindy's New House

We moved in August, and here's our new house, and the kids in front on their first day of school. Dylan was already gone for early morning band practice. This is the first time I wasn't there when they went to school, because I was already at school myself. -Sniff- We are renting but will probably buy it when we can. It's a really nice house and a great neighborhood. We live between a family doctor and a chiropractor.

Tonight we went to Jason's cousin's farm for a Halloween get together. They have a huge pumpkin patch and TONS of pumpkins left over. So we got to pick out what we wanted, and we got some big ones! Jonah's was so thick we had to take a saw to it to get the lid off! We haven't finished carving yet, so no finished pictures, but we got a LOT of seeds. Yum!  

Mindy, we need your new address.  Please send that to us as soon as you can!

Happy Birthday Tad!

Hey! this cute boy had a birthday today!

Happy Birthday Tad!  We love you!

The blog.

OK guys, Jeny, Mindy and I (Grandma)  have spent the last 3 days with them learning how to do this.  I hope I can remember when I get home.  Please Please Please!!! send some posts to the same address you did for Nickell.  I'd like to thank Nickell sooooooooooooooooo Much for doing this and getting me started.  I don't have a lot of recent pictures so if you want them on please send them.
And now for the new question of the month.

                      What was your first thought when you woke up this morning?


I woke up coughing and wondering when this cough would go away.  Dad's went away in one day.

Happy Belated birthday to Heidi and Holly.  I had to put one picture of them both because I wanted to use this cute picture.  That was a fun Halloween . Their birthday was Sept 1.
