Emolyn will be the third generation to be going home swaddled in the yellow blanket. Which by the way, is the softest flannel blanket you have ever felt!
Randy came home from the hospital 54 years ago wrapped in the yellow blanket.
Our son Shawn came home 25 years ago wrapped in the yellow blanket and now Shawn's daughter Emolyn will be going home wrapped in the yellow blanket in a few weeks.
But we couldn't wait till then, so today we took some pictures of Shawn, Randy and myself with sweet Emolyn and the yellow blanket. And it was my first time to hold her! Oh my goodness, she felt so good.
The sweet little hat that Emolyn is wearing was from one of Miranda's dolls that I found in a box, threw it in the laundry along with the yellow blanket and a few other recieving blankets and we were off to the NICU.
All three of our kids came home in the soft yellow flannel blanket and the sleeper Shawn wore home 25 years ago.
Shawn Michael
born in 1982.
Miranda Rachael

Tyler Christian

Are the babies all wearing the same sleeper too?

Precious x 5! (Randy, 3 kids, new baby!) I know what your blog is going to consist of from now on. Crafts will go on the backburner - LOL.

Oh my Gosh Linda, I'm behind in reading blogs. Well CONGRATULATIONS there Granny. I read a few of your past posts and see that your precious granddaughter was born early. . . and is in perfect health. Praise God!!!
