Happy GIRL DAY!

Sweet Emmaline

Our sweet friends, Nick and Allison Roark celebrated the birth of their third baby and FIRST little girl today! Emmaline Grace was born at 1:54 this afternoon weighing in at 7 pounds 14 ounces, after a quick labor. It was a blessing to be able to be up at the hospital when she was born and be downstairs to hear Daddy Nick's exciting announcement! (By the way.... he is a goner! Emmaline already has him wrapped around her fingers!) We are so excited for you guys!

AND.... keeping in line with girls. Our friends, Jon and Laura Humphreys also celebrated their third baby's birth today. Marianna Rose Humphreys was born right around the same time down in Savannah, Georgia weighing 6 pounds 2 ounces! Congratulations Jon, Laura, Lydia, and Joshua! We Love You!

Off to Kindergarten!

The First Day

I gave you a little wink and smile

As you entered my room today.

For I know how hard it is to leave

And know your child must stay.

You've been with him for five years now

And have been a loving guide

But now, alas the time has come

To leave him at my side.

Just know that as you bravely walk away

And tears down your cheek may flow

I'll love him as I would my own

And help learn and grow.

Sorry for the lack of pictures of the first day.... Blogger was not cooperating with me tonight for some reason. (Of course when I actually do sit down to blog and catch up a bit and then it won't work.. figures!) Anyway, despite the sappy poem, Asher had a GREAT first day and I only teared up AFTER I picked him up while he was beaming and telling me all about how much he loved it and about everything that they did! Stay posted for some pics :)

TWO!

Look what a big boy we have! Happy Birthday Nate! We Love You..... party and pics after Thursday :)
