He looks a like lot his brothers! Joseph is a great baby. His big brothers Sam and Nick just love him and are the best helpers. Life goes on as usual at the Empson household, the boys continue to be imaginative, curious and full of energy. A new baby hasn't slowed them down one bit and mom is back on her daily exercise routine keeping up with them. Joseph has adjusted great to all of the daily excitement around the house. We're busy but we're having fun with our three sons!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8244597206038863624-8443697521915811264?l=empsonfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Empson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10076458826144391790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8244597206038863624.post-34423051896616189442009-03-08T19:15:00.000-07:002009-03-08T19:28:18.203-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NW5vAxP_-k8/SbR-DEJrLZI/AAAAAAAAAhE/mLSd36qn9EA/s1600-h/Misc+144.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NW5vAxP_-k8/SbR-DEJrLZI/AAAAAAAAAhE/mLSd36qn9EA/s320/Misc+144.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311008451695685010" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We finally have our blog up.
