Our little girl

Emmalyn Elizabeth
Born October 4, 2010

Clay calls her Emmie. Dad calls her Sweetpea. I call her Pumpkin. Phil calls her Monster.

Whatever she's called, she's the best thing we ever did.

Sigh...I suppose I am never going to be good at keeping up with this. But I'll keep trying.

Since April:
We have been to Houston (June) to see Mom, to the Panhandle (July) to see Dad
I went into pre-term labor twice (end of July and early September), but managed to hold off having the baby until early October (only 2 weeks early)
We had all sets of parents except my dad and stepmom visit us (and Richard and Leanda visited too)
I got promoted at work
My second paper from my PhD work is in press (finally!)
We brought the baby to Texas for her first Christmas
