as you may have heard, there is now a new addition to our family. his name is emerson caldwell stepp, and he was born at 12:10 AM on january 30, 2010. he weighed 7 pounds 7 ounces and was 20 inches long. needless to say, we are quite smitten with him.
if you know me at all, then you know that i am a sucker for a good story. and believe me, the birth of emerson is quite the story. this is mainly due to the fact that kelly’s water broke during the onset of the snow storm that we encountered last week. our bags were not packed, the roads were covered, and we had to get to asheville asap. it was a tad bit intense. but we made it. and emerson was born in the very same hospital room as jackson. but even sweeter than that is the fact that emerson was born on the 11-year-anniversary of our very first date. that’s right, i took kelly out for the first time on january 30, 1999. unbelievable. it simply could not have been any more perfect.
and if you know me at all, then you know i can’t do anything without making a video. there is definitely an upcoming video of emerson’s birth in the works, and it should be ready for you to view very soon. until then, if it crosses your mind, say a little prayer for our sanity.
