Meet Emma Kate. She is our little darling granddaughter, brought to us by our son, Nathan and his sweet wife, Mary in February. Isn't she precious?
This girl has got the moves...quite literally, she is in constant motion. Mary said while she was pregnant that baby girl was constantly kicking her. We all watched it! One wonders what this means? Will she be an Olympic soccer player? Or does she just have a super high metabolism and has got to burn all that energy off somehow?
She is now coming up on 4 months old, and is starting to coo, talk, laugh and she smiles all the time. It is so wonderful when a baby starts to interact with her people. I love it when I get a chance to hold her, sing to her and read her a book. Just feeling her little body in my arms...so much love.
And I'm so proud of Mary and Nate. They are great parents! These first few months of newborn life, having a baby in your home for the first time, very sporadic sleep...these times can try the soul. But they always look beautiful, rested and joyful and are taking their parenting role very seriously. There is nothing quite like watching your son be a daddy. The love in his eyes for his little girl...so precious.I am so thankful for this beautiful gift of life, of a new little girl that carries our name and God's purposes into the next generation. We love you, Emma!
Her great grandparents love her to pieces also and are so grateful that we've been blessed by her life. She has a wonderful start in life with parents who are committed to God, to each other and to raising her in the fear of the Lord.
