Happy One Week Birthday

Emily Sweetums, yesterday was your one week birthday.

I can’t believe how fast the time is going by and how you are changing day by day. We still have no idea what your sleep pattern is like and I am sure that we won’t for a while or that as soon as we figure it out it will change. This morning mommy told me that you slept for two solid hours… ah, I was asleep the whole time and rather drowsy when she was giving me the news. She is doing such a great job with you and the three of us make a great team. I was back at work yesterday for a full day but the nice part is that I am right down the hallway and can help out at the drop of a hat.

I Love You so much and I can’t tell you how much you mean to Erin and myself. We are praying for you and with you now. I was reading you stories from your baby bible the other day and you seemed to really enjoy the stories.

Daddy
