Life is a funny thing. It has ups and downs, twists and turns. Every now and then though, some incredible things happen.

October 19 @ 2:33am, I met Emery Autumn Newhook for the first time. My precious daughter came into the world very quickly and not long later was in my arms. Her small but tiny long fingers grasped my finger and wrapped around it. As she looked up, there was this moment, this connection. It was amazing.

To my amazing wife. Wow. You did so well. I am so proud of you. To Josiah! You rock little guy. You are already a great big brother!

I am a little sleep deprived, but very thrilled about the new addition to our family. Thanks to those who have liked our photos on Facebook, sent a text or messaged us! We appreciate the virtual love! And for all your support we are grateful. Thanks to our family who is helping us transition from a 3 person 1 dog, to a 4 person one dog family!

Now to find time to grab some zzzzzzz's!
