emerson caldwell stepp
as you may have heard, there is now a new addition to our family. his name is emerson caldwell stepp, and he was born at 12:10 AM on january 30, 2010. he weighed 7 pounds 7 ounces and was 20 inches long. needless to say, we are quite smitten with him.
if you know me at all, then you know that i am a sucker for a good story. and believe me, the birth of emerson is quite the story. this is mainly due to the fact that kelly’s water broke during the onset of the snow storm that we encountered last week. our bags were not packed, the roads were covered, and we had to get to asheville asap. it was a tad bit intense. but we made it. and emerson was born in the very same hospital room as jackson. but even sweeter than that is the fact that emerson was born on the 11-year-anniversary of our very first date. that’s right, i took kelly out for the first time on january 30, 1999. unbelievable. it simply could not have been any more perfect.
and now that we are all home, the adventures of having two little dudes have definitely begun. this explains why it has taken us over a week to post any photos. heck, we haven’t even posted any photos from december yet. but for now, you can view emerson’s entire birth album by clicking on the image above. also, you know i can’t do anything without making a video. there is definitely an upcoming video of emerson’s birth in the works, and it should be ready for you to view very soon. until then, take some time to enjoy the photos, and if it crosses your mind, say a little prayer for our sanity.

I have been thinking about all of you so much, I haven’t called because I know Kelly (and you) is probably going crazy trying to manage the new life with two babies!!
Hope things are better the 2nd time around.

I love the pictures! I’ll need to borrow that camera when I get around to having children so I can have beautiful pictures of that time in our lives! Dusty, you do awesome work.
Kelly, I hope things are going well with your TWO boys! I can’t even imagine have two children. Be strong!
Love,
Kelly B.

Emerson is just beautiful. He also has Kelly’s lips. Those picture were great. Dusty, you are an awesome photographer. Kelly, you looked great to have just been in labor and had a baby. Emerson sure picked a fine time to be born. I’m glad you all made it okay to the hospital. Can’t wait to see you all. Tell big brother Jackson hello and give him a hug for us and we love you all.
