Sweet Home’s first baby of 2019 was welcomed into the world Thursday, Jan. 3, at Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital.
Baby Emmett Ray Villines was born at 9:24 a.m. to parents Matt and Heather Villines, joining his older brother Wyatt, 5. Emmett weighed 8 pounds, 15 ounces, and was 20¾ inches long.
Wyatt said he plans on teaching his new brother how to ride a bike and a four-wheeler when he turns 3 years old, because that’s how old Wyatt was when he started riding.
Matt and Heather were born and raised in Sweet Home. He works at R&L Excavating, a family-owned business, and she works as a property manager for Viridian Management.
The Villineses received gift certificates from Cedar Shack and Figaro’s Pizza for the honor of having Sweet Home’s first baby of the year.
