Emerson Loch arrives!

Emerson Loch arrives to Kelly and Collin 4 weeks early. He wasn't due until June 17th and our plan was to return home and be in Vegas (or close by) when Emerson arrived. It was a repeat of Rowan's birth. Kelly's water broke and there was no going back, Emerson was coming. He was 6 lbs 1 oz, 19 inches long. He will be in the NICU for a number of days with oxygen to get his lungs a little stronger. After returning for Virginia, we packed up again and headed to Vegas to meet Emerson and try to be some help with Rowan...and visit with Tanner and Kristi's families too. Lots going on!
 

Virginia and West Virginia

Prickett's Fort, Fairmont West Virginia

Hillwood Estate Museum and Garden

Freeman House in Vienna Virginia

 We enjoyed the rest of the week with Ethan and Sarah and then traveled too West Virginia to spend a few days with Amy, Joe, Charli, Harper and Calvin. It is wonderful to live with children for a few days and see what wonderful parents they are. Amy and Joe are very busy with careers, kids, church and life. The work together beautifully and the kids are so sweet with us. Still had time to see a few tourist sites before heading back to San Diego,

Baby Bo Thomas arrives!

 We arrived  in Virginia just in time to meet Sarah and Ethan for dinner and take Lucy home while they went straight to the hospital. Bo Thomas arrived with ease 7 lbs 5 oz  on May 4th. Lucy has been so sweet with the Baby and Sarah is feeling great. Such a relief after her last experience giving birth to Lucy!
