Emily is Born!



After 12 hours of labor, our family was blessed with the arrival of Emily Jane Butler. Her sweet spirit came into the world at the perfect time and we couldn't be happier. She is a healthy, active and bright eyed baby with a sweet, soft disposition.  It's times like these that remind us of how close to heaven our own lives really are. The miracle of life fills our hearts with gratitude for the simple pleasures we share with our family and erases the troubles of the day. Today the best blessing of all came in a little 7lb 2oz package!

Congratulations! I have a brother with an April 1 birthday too. He's got quite the sense of humor. Maybe Emily will too. Glad she's here safely.

What a sweetheart!!! She is so teeny tiny! She looks like her mommy and has the same disposition as well.
I think she is wonderful. Of course, I am her grandmother and adore all of my grandchildren. I am truly amazed at how close to heaven you feel when you hold a newborn in your arms. She is one of a kind and we will love and kiss on her tons!!!
Love to all,
Mom
