I'm posting this a little late, so most of you probably know that early on Monday morning, the Pattens welcomed their new daughter, Emma Grace, into the world. Their story of the birth is like something out of a movie, but I'll let them tell that tale. Anyway, we went to see those guys when they got home on Monday evening (less than 20 hours after the birth!), and I'll tell you that Emma is a cutie! We also confirmed that Halleigh is ready for a little brother or sister. She loved the baby in much the same way she loved the Greens' new puppy! Sarah and Aaron were incredibly brave to let her anywhere near their new child, but it was great to see how much she loved her.

The proud parents:
