Aunt Kelsi meets Miss “Em”

So every day since February 4. (Miss Em’s birthday) Kelsi has really, really, really, really (you get the idea) been wanting to go meet her new niece. Since last weekend was a long weekend and I was sort of missing Little Em myself, I decided we would go for a visit. Kelsi was so happy and loved every minute of being with her, even when she cried (which really wasn’t very often). Thanks Danielle and Steve for letting us come for another visit.

A busy day…

So today was a pretty busy day in Little Em’s life.

First activity: Bath

Then it’s off to to Dr. to check weight & billiruben. Everything was great!

When we got back, there were gifts to open from the baby shower Danielle missed because she was in the hospital.

We thought the hat was the cutest!!!

Grandparents…

I have loved being here for the first few days of little Emma’s life. It is really a feeling that I cannot describe. It was so nice to have Grandma and Grandpa “Great” (as Danielle calls them) come by and visit her on her first day of life here on this earth. I was also so happy to have Kevin drive down with me to witness this miracle!

I am really going to love this grandparenting thing!!!

Day 3 of Baby “Em”’s Life

We took Baby Em home from the hospital today. I felt privileged to be able to drive her and Danielle. It has been a good day and think both are happy to be home.

She was a good girl for the car ride home.

A Little Bit of the Philippines

This is just a taste of Kevin's Philippine Medical Mission. We will post a few more in the coming days. Dr. Williams, Flore, Kevin, Emily & Kellie
This is "little" Riza. She is a one year old that only weighed about 10 lbs.

Notice the scrubs "normal" blue. No purple silk this time!

This is the first day. There were 51 children waiting to be evaluated.

They were able to do 34 surgeries.
