“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!
Ella Mae just wanted to touch her face!
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
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!
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!
Thank you for your visits and comments and indulging a couple of typical grandparents!
Patti Fralix says
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.
Pam @ Everyday Living says
Thank you sweet friend!
Nancy says
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. ?
Pam @ Everyday Living says
Thanks my friend! We are so thankful for two little girls!
Rita C. says
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!
Pam @ Everyday Living says
Rita, we do see ginger. My dad and his sister both have red hair and I did as a baby! Thank you so much!

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!
Pam @ Everyday Living says
Jeanie, you are so sweet and thoughtful! Grands are the best!
Bonnie Morgan says
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.
Pam @ Everyday Living says
God’s gifts of getting older are these two precious granddaughters! Thank you Bonnie!

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.
Pam @ Everyday Living says
Thank you Dianne. We are so thankful for God’s abundant gifts of these two precious girls. Thank you for sharing in our joy!
Alice Genzlinger says
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.

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!

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.
