He was born September 24th to proud parents Rebecca and Aaron Gallaher.
Also here to welcome him are Rebecca's family: his grandparents, Bill and Audrey Steimer, Uncle Chris and Aunt Lauren Steimer, and his big cousin Emmy, age 2. They all traveled from their homes in Scottsville, NY to meet baby Emmett as soon as possible.
Aaron's mom, Charlotte McKenzie of Fayetteville, NC was in Nags Head with Aaron and Rebecca to wait for Emmett's arrival. The happy grandma plans to be a regular visitor to Ocracoke, and will stay here a few months in the spring to be his babysitter.
Emmett has even more people who love him, of course, including grandparents Dan and Trish Gallaher of Aberdeen, NC, and Uncle Shawn and Aunt Becky Gallaher, and cousins Garrett, Jake, Allie, and Katie Jo, who all live in Monterey, CA.
Aaron and Rebecca were happy to bring Emmett home to Ocracoke, with a community of friends and neighbors to welcome him. They'd like to thank everyone for their prayers, love, and support – and promise they will be up for visitors soon!
