AJ & Jack

Everyone asks who Jack looks like.
That's easy....AJ!
Here are some examples-Can you tell who is who?




You were right if you said AJ was on the top in the first two series and the bottom picture in the bathtub.








Just Jack

3 weeks







I leave the room for 1 minute - and come back to this - it was so awful I had take a picture and post it - and probably bring it out to all of the future girlfriends! Apparently he had a lot going on in that minute!




A good excuse for a bath - he loves the water running over his head. He gets so peaceful - he is a Pisces.






It is somuch fun having a baby in the house again. I never realized how fast everything does change. When AJ was born things were slower at home, now I feel like we are caught in a whirlwind and when things do slow down Jack has hit a mini milestone in his little life.AJ is having fun being the BIG brother and likes to show how strong he is when he picks up Jack.


He helps with everything - keeping a blanket on Jack (at all times ..no wmatter how hot it is !!), giving him bottles etc. It is so sweet - we have heard him saying, "It's okay baby," or, "Oh sugar, are you okay?"



Now we have had some fun visits before but yall missed the big one. Would you believe that LIVE IN CONCERT right here at 29 Colony House Court was MISTER LINDSAY and her crew! What a show it was - duets and dancing by Mister Lindsay and the encore performance which featured Jimmy McQueen, Colby and Rich Mascaro and Big Boatwright. I have a bootleg video of the whole thing which I will show you next time you are over.



Lindsey's Visit

Where do I start?! Where did I leave off ..mom was down for the first week after Jack was born, which was a Godsend. Lindsey came down for a tag team relief mission - Jack was still on the light bed fighting off his Jaundice so we had to go to the Dr.'s every morning to check his billirubin, AJ had an ear infection....So much needed help was found in her visit - sisters are amazing - things alway seem okay when they are there!

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 !
