“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.”
Psalms 139:13
Hello sweet readers! Our hearts are so full of joy and thanksgiving as we announce the birth of our precious new grand baby, Emma Kennedy Richardson!
Emma was born on March 26, at 5:39 a.m. weighing 9 lbs. 2 oz. and 22 inches long. They barely made it to the hospital. The nurse had to deliver her because the doctor didn’t get there in time! We are so thankful that baby and mommy are doing fine.
Seth and Allison brought Ella Mae to our house at 4 a.m. and they had an hour and fifteen minute drive to the hospital in Birmingham. We were able to go back to bed and sleep a little while, thinking there would be several hours of labor. Much to our surprise, when we got up at 6:30, we had a text from Seth saying Emma had been born. Ella Mae was so excited and ready to go meet her baby sister!
Sweet family of four!
Ella Mae just wanted to touch her face!
Sister love !
Da is quite taken with another little girl! Kennedy is his Mother’s maiden name and it is very special to have this little one bear that name.
“Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers”
Proverbs 17:6
P. J. and her sweet girls!
Daddy’s past experience seems to be paying off. Emma and Daddy are doing some snuggling!
Allison and Emma Kennedy are happy to be at home!
Do we detect a little smile?
Ella Mae had a gift for Emma, her very own Minnie Mouse. She insisted that little sister needed Minnie right beside her, but Emma didn’t show too much excitement!
Two princesses !
Thank you for your visits and comments and indulging a couple of typical grandparents!
Such a beautiful and sweet post, dear friend. Emma is beautiful, just like Ella Mae. Love to all of you during this special time in your lives.
Thank you sweet friend!
Oh my goodness! Congratulations to everyone. Emma is so very precious! And Ella Mae is a very proud big sister. Ella in the one picture standing tall all by herself… looks like she is ready to go off to school.
Oh Pam and Butch… how very wonderful! Congratulations again. Wish I could give you both a hug. ?
Thanks my friend! We are so thankful for two little girls!
So, so sweet. Thankful they were able to get to the hospital timely. Do I see a ginger? One photo appeared so, another darker. Beautiful girls, both. Congratulations to you ALL!
Rita, we do see ginger. My dad and his sister both have red hair and I did as a baby! Thank you so much!
Pam, so happy for you! The sweet smile on baby Emma’s beautiful face says it all…. so blessed to be with her loved ones
Thank you sweet Judy, we are so thankful for God’s good gifts!
Congratulations!!! She is precious and such a beautiful family
Thank you dear Marty!
Oh Pam, I’ve been waiting so for this post and wondering — boy or girl! And Oh! What a beautiful child! No pruney newborn this — she looks ready for her close-up! I loved each and every photo although I have to say that the one of Ella Mae holding her sister with that sweet smile may take the cake. It’s a toss-up, though, because I love seeing adults with newborns. That family photo is a gem too. I love the name and she is lucky to have you as grandparents! Biggest hugs!
Jeanie, you are so sweet and thoughtful! Grands are the best!
Precious, precious. So happy for everyone. A sweet new life God has made is such a gift.
I touched a sweet baby’s soft arm last night at church and it had been so long. Babies have the softest skin. You are truly blessed. Congratulations.
God’s gifts of getting older are these two precious granddaughters! Thank you Bonnie!
Congratulations! She is beautiful! What a precious family. God surely had His mighty hands upon this sweet one. So happy for you all. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thank you Cindy. We are grateful for God’s gifts!
Congrats! How precious!
Thank you Penny!
Ditto to all that has been posted. May God continue to bless you and your beautiful family!
Thank you Bobbie!
Congratulations! Birmingham has the best hospitals/doctors! I am so thankful they are close by! Your granddaughter is beautiful and YES, Proverbs 17:6!!!!
Thank you Janis. God is so good!
Praise God for this precious new gift. She is so beautiful. All the photos are so precious. I think Ella Mae holding her has to be the sweetest as she so proudly welcomes her new sister. I am so happy for all of you. I hope you can feel my love over the airways. I love the name Kennedy and how smart and thoughtful of your children to keep the name going. That is what my daughter did with both children. Everyone looks so happy. She is smiling. Most definitely God’s gift to grandparents. Please keep the photos coming.
Thank you Dianne. We are so thankful for God’s abundant gifts of these two precious girls. Thank you for sharing in our joy!
Oh my goodness, the pictures tell it all. The family picture made my heart sing and I did notice the matching shirts for Emma and Ella Mae and that sweet smile on Emma’s pretty face. Are your toes touching the ground? Mine would not.
Alice, we are so thankful for these two precious gifts from God. Thank you for sharing in our joy!
Oh, Pam – Congratulations to everyone! She is beautiful and Ella Mae is beaming. So happy everyone is well. I see red on her little head. A beautiful family, and such absolute joy for you and Butch. Blessings to everyone! A beautiful spring.❤
Thank you Sandra. Yes there is a little red hair, it appears. My Daddy and his sister have red hair and so did I when I was born. It changed to blonde and then darkened. We are so thankful for these two precious girls!
What a beautiful, beautiful family. Your heart must be overflowing with joy. Ella Mae looks so grownup and proud. I just read an article about how the bond between sisters is the strongest of all relationships. Allison looks fantastic too! Thank you so much for sharing with us…you know all of us loyal readers feel like part of the family! ?
Roxanne, I feel like you all are family and that you rejoice with us. God is good and we are thankful to Him for these two precious girls!
Pam, I just posted a comment and it didn’t show on my end. Will check later. Again so happy for this beautiful baby for all of you. Congratulations to everyone!

OH my goodness, I didn’t realize you were having another little Princess!! God is so good to give us healthy, loving grandchildren. Like I said before there is nothing like them. Enjoy every little moment, detail, tea party, manicure, pedicure, etc., they grow up so fast! We now have a 16 year old!! Love and Hugs
Thank you Lynn! Grands are definitely gifts from God! Love you?

SO very thankful all is well with her and her Mama, and what a beautiful, perfect little family they are in that picture! Just precious. And, little Ella Mae’s expressions are just priceless! I know she will be the perfect, doting big sister, and now your joy is doubled! This was such an uplifting, wonderful post. God is SO good!!

Congratulations to you all! I love seeing your new little granddaughter, with her big sister and the rest of the family. Being 100% Irish, I love the name and the Kennedy’s were distant cousins of my dad’s family in Ireland. I also love that Butch uses Da as his name.
Blessings to each one of you, may the Lord have his hand on little Emma.
Joy to you.
