Home Sweet Home...

I took Emma on her first trip to Arkansas to see my family. We had so much fun spending time with everyone and Emma loved getting to know her cousins! She even had her first swimming experience! We think we may have a future Olympian on our hands. ;-)

Summer wear...

Emmalyn is getting all geared up for summer! The temperature is getting warmer up here in the NorthWest so it's time to get ready for the heat! Baby Emma and I are traveling to Arkansas this week to visit her cousins, aunts, and Grandad. She's so excited! We can't wait for her first baby swim in Aunt Katy's pool! 

GranJan and Papa Pat's visit...

Emma really enjoyed her visit with her Grandparents. Thanks again for making the trip out Gran Jan and Papa Pat!

Three months later...

Hello Everyone!

Wow- what a ride this has been thus far. Our beautiful baby girl will be three months old this Thursday! These first three months have been quite a blur between the lack of sleep, c-section recovery, and moving into a new house - but I am happy to say that all the craziness has been so worth it just to see our baby girl smile and grow into a healthy happy 3 month old!
We have been so blessed to have had our families come out to visit and spend time with baby Emmalyn. My Mom, Grandad, Sister Lacy, my Dad, and Brian's parents have all already made the long trip to Seattle to see her.
Thank you to everyone for all of your phone calls, letters, and emails. Now that our baby girl is sleeping through the night (most nights) I think we will hopefully be able to get back on the "blog wagon".
Love to All!!

I know a few pictures are of Emma's "sad face" but I think she looks so adorable in these I just had to share.

Welcome Emmalyn Grace Elliott!

We are delighted to announce the birth of our beautiful baby girl, Emmalyn Grace Elliott! She was born on March 30th at 5:42pm weighing in at 8lbs 1oz and 19 inches long. Emma is officially 9 days old and she and mom are doing great!
Below are some amazing photos taken at the hospital.

40wks and still counting...

So here we are... 40 weeks! We are ready for our baby girl to arrive any day now. My due date is today, but she seems perfectly cozy in here. I will be induced this Monday if she is still not here by then. 
This week's photo is of the adorable diaper bag my godmother sent for her. We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!! We also included in the picture her summer beach outfit that we hope she will fit into.
More updates to come - we will do our best to keep everyone as updated as possible.
We appreciate all of your excitement and support during this exciting time in our lives. Love to you all!!

-Jessica and Brian
