Emerson's Real Birthday

Soon it will be Emerson’s 29^th Birthday.  President Hinckley was also born on June 23 so it’s a pretty cool day.  It’s also a cool day because three years ago on this day in Australia, a man was charged for drunk driving in a wheel chair.  Headlines don’t get any bigger than that. 

We hear that Emerson is a champion lawn mower.  In fact, it sounds like he does it so well, that he doesn’t mow very often for fear of putting all his neighbors to shame.  Even more amazing is the factoid that he adores lawn mowing so much that when he does allow himself to indulge, he mows for hours.  Rumor has it that he has recently purchased a new power mower, but this rumor is unsubstantiated and should not be repeated. 

We don’t know if Emerson is a heavy or light sleeper, but we do know that he doesn’t sleep through everything.  Big things like pregnant ladies that go “bump” in the night, do awaken him.  He is very patient, though and will always help the Phantom Prego up.  Hopefully, he will no longer be haunted with such noises since this would be detrimental not only to his sleep, but to the bedroom floor.

Emerson has, hopefully, been receiving an unusual amount of mail lately from his adoring fans.  We hope that such popularity will not go to his head and that he will remain as ever our humble and beloved son and brother in law.  Happy Birthday, Emerson!
