Emily Amor--One Week

 Today on Emily's one-week birthday, we opened a present from her great-grandma, Mary Emily, one special person she was named after!
 What a cute green box!  We will have to use this to put her little socks in!  What's inside?!
 "OH!"  Emily loves it!  She is dramatic like her Mama!  Haha!
 Thanks, Great-Grandma Mary Emily!  I love the cute little outfit--just in time for my one-week birthday!
 Emily's first little panties--cute!  The boys are not used to seeing those around here.  Precious!
 Thank you, Father, for my little girl!  One week ago, you were born, Emily!  I'm SO glad you are here!  We enjoy every minute with you.
 Mama loves to hold you!  Elijah calls her an "itty-bitty cuddly little doll."
 Emily's wonderful midwife, Joy, came for her one-week check up.  Now Emily is 9 pounds!  Growing girl!
The boys love to try on her little hats.  Silly brothers!  Emily is wondering, hmmmm.....

Welcome Emily Amor!

 We rejoice and praise God for the birth of our beautiful baby girl, Emily Amor Becker.  She was born July 6, 2013 at 2:12 a.m. at home in the Philippines.  She weighed 8 pounds 9 ounces--my biggest baby!

I have an album on my Facebook page if you would like to see more pictures.  I am "Jessica Nell Becker".
 Papa was the first to catch her and see her looking into his eyes.  This Papa is in love!
 When the boys woke up, they got to meet their sister for the first time!  Now we are the Beckers six!  These guys are thrilled!  Do we really have 4 children?!  What a blessing!
 I love when she looks at me!  What a small live doll!  Thank you, Lord, for so many answers to prayer in her birth and life.  May she trust you, Jesus, at an early age and follow you all her days.
 Emily was named for 4 special people.  My sister, Sarah Emily, who was named for our grandmother, Mary Emily, who was named for her grandmother, Nannie Emily.  Each of these 3 women have/had faith in Jesus Christ which they passed on through the generations.  Amor is love and is also the name of our faithful helper of 4.5 years, who has helped me with all 3 of our boys.

We pray Emily Amor will know the love of God for her and will share that with others.  We pray she will follow in the faith of the women she was named for.
 July 10, 2013--our 8th anniversary.  Our 4th baby is just 4 days old!  Thank you, Lord, for your blessings!
Emily's 3 older brothers love to help their new little sister get dressed.  I love seeing my four children all together.  My Mama heart melts!
