On March 8th at 7:17 a.m., my daughter Caitlin & her husband Cyril, joyfully welcomed little Emma Grace into their lives. I was there, with camera in hand, and tried my hardest to capture some of the most precious moments of the birth. Cait was almost serene through out the entire night, and the two of them worked "together". Here's a shot of "Team Costa" and little Emma's first 6 hours on Earth! What a little angel she is! She really is! And she has the most amazing eyes and eyelashes. I haven't decided who she looks like. The Costa's think she looks like Cyril, and sometimes I see Caitlin in her (of course!) No all kidding aside; I really don't know. Not a mini-me, like Grayson. We all know who he looks like!
I admire these two so much. They know how to laugh and they were so in the moment, and so excited to learn of the sex of the baby. Here are some of my favorite moments with the Costa's at the most important moments of their lives.
Grayson had that little "I know you guys are up to something" look.

Grandpa Costa couldn't take his eyes off of her...he kept saying "belle" (I think that means beautiful)
And yeah, I did put down the camera once, so that Cyril could take a photo of very proud, Grandma and Auntie Brooke! Grandpa Schneids kept his little buddy busy, riding wheelchairs! Happy, happy Grandma Costa! Uncle Muff Miss B gets a small smile! Sweet, sweet Grayson......
Now I've got to get some sleep!!! Emma has her first Photo Shoot tomorrow in Boston!
Stay tuned for those photos!
Thanks for all your wonderful, sweet emails and "facebook" comments. They're the best!!!
