Welcome, welcome!
Today we attended a neighborhood welcome party for Emma. Honestly, we hadn't expected the kind of 'do the crew put on. Fully half the neighborhood gathered at the Hatley's house for cake and homemade ice cream. Those who couldn't attend still sent gifts, and we came home with a "bounty of loot."
Krista brought little Joe, and Judy Fisher dropped by briefly with her young granddaughter, both of whom Emma found utterly fascinating -- not least because they can both walk, while she's a bit more restricted yet. For two hours, everything Emma did was the subject of much discussion, speculation and applause.
She, and we, could not have had a more pleasant time. Thanks to all the people who put this event together, and to everyone who attended and/or sent gifts. It truly does take a village, and we feel blessed to have such wonderful neighbors for Emma to grow up with.
