We are proud to announce our latest addition, Emery Kate Murphy. She was born on Wednesday, November 2, 2011 in Overland Park, Kansas. She looks a lot like her Daddy and a little like Amber's hospital pictures and a little like Leah. Amber went to the hospital at 6 am and was induced and was in labor for only a couple of hours. We were shocked at how fast she came! Lots of tears, laughter and hugs as she arrived. Another one of the happiest days of my life. We already love her so much and so does Leah. She is beyond thrilled to have a baby sister. In the beginning Leah wanted to name her Molly but we weren't sold on the name and the only reason she wanted it was because of Toy Story (Andy's baby sister) so we searched and searched for the perfect name. Finally as I was looking through the baby book I came across Emory under the boys names and fell in love with it so I talked to Amber and she loved it too so we changed the way it was spelled and Emery it was! It is a German name and since Joel's grandmother is full blood German, it made it even more perfect. My Mother's maiden name is also German. Emery means "heart of the home". Amber wanted Kate and I have always loved Kate too but I really loved it even more when Kate Middleton came along. I think she is so beautiful and graceful, elegant, everything a lady should be so that is how the name came about. Cheyenne and I stayed a week with them and had a blast. Now I am back home and trying to catch up on my work. I have the best clients! They were all so happy about Emery Kate and told me to take my time and enjoy her so a BIG THANK YOU to you all! Below are a few images of the special day :)
