I know I am a couple of weeks behind on my blogging, so I am playing "catch-up" when I get the chance! These spare moments are few and far between though!

The boys had so much fun decorating for my birthday! Thanks guys & Mama Ann for making my day special!

4th of July Fun- Ben taught the boys how to shoot bottle rockets through the pipe at the end of the road so it would make a really cool sound! Thanks Dad-not exactly the safest thing to do in the eyes of a mom!

The ride home seemed to put Charleston Marie to sleep.

Charli is welcomed home by a sign made by her big brothers!

Leaving the hospital with our newest blessing! What are we going to do with this little girl and all this pink?

MORE HOSPITAL PHOTOS:

Charleston looked so cute when they brought her to my room, the day she was born, after they cleaned her up and checked her out! They had to watch her for 4 hours before I could see her again-this seemed like forever!

Okay, I love bows in girls hair! (I wore one in mine until,well, just a few years ago when I cut all my hair off.) But, I am not too sure about sticking it in with "goo" as the boys called it! Charleston Marie does have enough hair that I am able to put them in with the little clip now that we are home!

Look real close, it seems like Charli already has a "hold" on her Pop!

DAY 2 AT HOSPITAL

SL loves his sister! He is thrilled that she has on "real clothes" today and not just a shirt and blanket. He is even more excited that her outfit is pink!

Make note that this is the first time ever for Ben to own or wear a pink shirt! Charli has already started on her Daddy!

Big Bro and Little Sis are so happy together!

June Fun with just the boys before Charleston Marie arrived!

She is going to be well entertained!

Imaginations are great! Stephen Louis makes an Iron Man mask and pretends to be him! We have not seen the movie, but he has seen the cartoons and he loves to act them out!
Ben and SL do a little relaxing in the pool! I was pregnant at the time and he told me I was too big and would make all of the water come out of the pool!

These photos were taken after church on Sunday, June 29th. Havey joined the church that day. He walked all the way down to the front of the church from the balcony, by himself, to talk to our pastor, Brother Chip. He said he told him he had already said the Sinner's Prayer and that he wanted to let him know so he could be Baptized now. He has been talking about this for about a year (before we ever moved from the church in Columbus), but he asked Jesus to live in his heart one night after a day at Bible School. He had been trying to work up the courage to walk to the front of the church to make it public. We are so proud of him and rejoice that he knows Jesus is his Savior! God is so good!

The family was very excited to see Charleston Marie for the first time...

Charleston Marie was born this morning at 10:55! She was 8 lbs 13 ozs and she was 20 inches long.
