We left the hospital on Christmas Eve and knew we had a lot of visiting to do. Grandma Ann wasn’t able to get to the hospital because of her broken foot, so we brought Emily to her as soon as we could:
And just like that, we had another smitten first-time grandmother.
The aunts (all four of them) are not exempt from the adoration. Tracy and Sarah haven’t had a chance to meet Emily in person yet, but Amy and Caroline are both in town. They like to fight over which one gets to hold her. Then Grandma Jane puts in her request…what about me?! My arms feel surprisingly empty without her already.

Here’s a series of pictures that I LOVE. This is Emily and Daddy adoring each other. I’m not sure who is more awestruck by the other.
Miss Emily has been inundated with gifts since, oh, six months before she even arrived in our world, so Christmas was all about her visiting people and impressing them with her intellect and wit. It was an exhausting day for a 3-day-old jaundiced baby, but she did a very good job.
