It's Another Boy!!

Welcome to the world

Jack Hallman Boatwright!!

March 5, 2007

8 lbs. 14 oz., 21 3/4"

Alan, AJ, and I are so happy to introduce Jack to all of you. He is named after his great granddaddy Captain Jack Miller (Emily's granddad), and Hallman is his great grandmother's maiden name (Alan's Grandmom).

AJ is already being a very helpful big brother (with a few headbutts and toe-pulls thrown in for good measure)!

We are all doing well and I feel great! The second time seems a lot easier - probably because we weren't so terrified - Alan didn't take a 40 minute shower before getting us to the hospital this time!!

He was great support again - although the experience was no where near as funny - he kept his burps to himself and was antsy with anticipation. He was glowing and got to cut the umbilical cord again and is the proud papa of 2!

Thank you so much for all ofyour prayers and support and well wishes - I feel I have missed somany things going on each of your lives and will try to make up for it soon. Keep emailing me updating me - we love you all...

Harold and Harrison - Happy happy birthday - Alan, AJ and I think about both of you all the time and hope that our boys turn out as wonderful as the two of you - we can't wait to see you!

Grandmom and Granddad Miller - Holy Moly - 65 years - that is so amazing - you both are so amazing!! Alan and I look forward to carrying on the torch of long lasting commitment and love! And Granddaddy Happy Birthday - can't wait to celebrate - it makes me so happy to think of you and Gram every time I look at my son!

To all my expectant mothers - Ashley G., Mason H., Beth B., Lisa F. - I hope those bellies are healthy and yall are happy!

For all the other birthdays (Kevin, Earl, Betty, Dale, Scott) Love love you all.

My biscuit - my God Sister !!- You and Shane are so wonderful to my boys - thank you for being a part of our family - yall are the best!

My sisters and family - you're the best - love ya always!

That's all for now - I will keep you updated with all of the firsts! We love you all and think of you often! xxoxo Love the Boatwrights

The Last Days as Three

We have had such a great time with AJ! What a wonderful child and such an amazing experience! We are excited for him to be a big brother...and a little nervous.

The night after I finished the bar exam (this round!!) we were going to eat with my mom (who has been staying with us during the exam), Jim and Pat and Scott. I realized I had no pictures of me pregnant this time so we raced out to catch the last bit of sunlight.

It has been such a different experience this time - but still great - we are blessed with easy pregnancies which helps and Alan and I are having so much fun as parents!

By the time yall read this tomorrow our family will be four! They are inducing tomorrow morning...so if all goes like last time Jack should be here within a few hours of that!

Alan and I will go to the hospital early in the morning and then Gigi will bring AJ later in the afternoon.

We thank you for all of your support and prayers over the last few weeks for all that we had going on - we felt the love! Think of us again tomorrow and please pray for a healthy, happy baby and big brother! Two boys - we can't wait! More to come soon!

Love Alan, Emily and AJ

The BIG Snow Day

Hello all - we miss you!! These pics are from the big snow we got in Columbia! AJ was so excited when he saw the snow coming down ...through the window that is...the story changed after we got bundled up and went outside. That lasted only a few moments until the snow made his

face cold - oh well !
