Our little Emma Joy is four weeks old today. She is all the sweetness you can imagine wrapped up in one growing bundle.
She is God's precious child, wonderfully made in His image, fully known and loved; entrusted to David and I for her days here on earth.
Her demeanor is calm, content, steady. She has a myriad of facial expressions at which we gawk and laugh and try to imitate. There's the pursed and pouty lips, the look of confusion with a furrowed brow, the smirky "man, that milk was good" side smile, the full face smile that could bring anyone joy, the glazed over "I'm really tired but am trying so hard to stay awake" face, the full face yawn, the stick-out-your-tongue face, and the list goes on...we could watch her for hours...
She is welcomed by a loving, believing family and close-knit community of friends who will love her like their own.
In such a short time we can't imagine life without Emma. What a gift we have in her!
Now, off to change another diaper! :)
