There are times in life that are just sweet. A time when every human sense is alive, well, and the heart swells and still cannot seem to contain all the joy. The birth of a grandchild is such an experience. Walt's Aunt, who had 11 children, told me years ago when my own children were small, that you think you can never love anything as much as your own children, but then you find out that it extends into eternity through grandchildren. She was right.
Little Emma arrived at 3:32 a.m. July 28 to Jessica and Cody Heimberger. They gave her the middle name of Veda after Walt's Mother. Veda is the only grandparent Jessi ever knew, and she loved her dearly. Emma weighed 7 lb 4 oz and decided she could no longer wait for the doctor. The nurse delivered her and Emma's little head is a witness to having to wait tooooooo long in the birth canal. What a little cone head. Poor little baby measured 21 inches long, but a week after her birth measured only 19 in. She was born with a mop of black hair and given the title of cutest baby born that week by all the nurses. Two proud and loving parents, grandparents, and aunts all agreed. Of course, Jess and Cody think she is the cutest baby of all time.

| Due to Jessi and Cody leaving for Provo in time for college, Emma was blessed in our home. This afforded me a rare opportunity to get a picture of the blessing circle right after they said amen. |
