little life




here he is. the sweetest thing i've ever seen. born july 23 at 9:47 p.m., weighing 8 lbs 1 oz and measuring 19 inches long. John Tayloe Emery, Jr.
turns out, i didn't have to give him any lessons in timliness because he let his intentions be known early sunday morning before i even had the chance.
what a wild ride. i'll recount the experience and all it's hilarity sometime soon, but right now i'm just so humbled and amazed at all the kindess that's poured our way. from the neighborhood kids who chalked our driveway with welcome home messages to flowers and phone calls and emails from so many people we love. the last three days have been some of the best of our lives.
flickr has all the latest pics.
the best news is, the car seat worked, although i'll admit it now -- i never bothered to read how you actually strap a kid into the thing. anywho we made it home today without incident around noon.

I think he shall be called Deuce, its a hip version of Jr., reminds me of family guy, and certainly a bit of a reference to the mighty STEELERS...
