Look at Charseton Marie's little hand and notice her finger-it looks like she is already telling Havey how it is going to be! He had his disposable camera and was taking some photos of his little sis' after school. I think they miss her during the day!

"Charli-Bug", as Ben calls her, looks like she has bug eyes in this photo! She was amazed by her new toy bar!

We made a really cute truck from a big box that Matt gave to the boys. Thanks Matt! They had so much fun deciding what it should look like, cutting, painting, and playing in this thing! It makes me wonder why in the world we spend so much money on toys when these boys love cardboard boxes, dirt and bugs!

The boys had such a great time washing the car! I think this may have been their first time to ever do this-simple pleasures!

Just laying around!
"This laying on my tummy thing and lifting my head up is hard work, so I think I will chew on my hand a while!"
So sweet, but not so little. She weighs around 13 pounds now!

Friday was the First Day of School for the boys! I cannot believe how fast summer went! I also cannot believe that SL is starting Kindergarten!

The Brothers will be on different halls at school, but they are excited because they will see each other at lunch!

SL and his sweet teacher, Mrs. Wilmoth! She is such a cute acting lady and I know he will have a fun time learning in her class! He loved his first day!
Havey is in the 2nd grade and his teacher is Mrs. Poindexter. I think he will have a great year, too. He has several buddies in his class; I know he is glad he is not the new kid this year! He told me that he had a good first day and that his teacher was a sweet person!
We took the boys to lunch after their first day-it was only a half day! They chose Old Venice, pizza- yum!

We gave the boys special treats for starting school, a book (of course) and a Space Fish aquarium to share. They get to go pick out their own fish! They have been begging for this for about a year now!

Finally finding a little time to Blog!! We have been so busy!

Hanging out in the Boppy! She was trying to "talk"-too cute!

We went to Chuck-e-Cheese in Tuscaloosa for our annual Back-to-School Celebration!

The boys loving the games!

Charleston Marie was loving all of the lights and sounds. I kept her completely covered by her car seat canopy and the stroller canopy so she was not touched or breathed on by everybody there! (Yes, I'm a little paranoid about germs. Ask the boys, we have hand cleaner everywhere. They each even have their own bottle! I let them choose their own scent so it is more fun to use!!) It is wonderful that noise doesn't bother her one bit! I think she got so used to all of the boy's loudness while in my tummy that when it is quiet she is fussy!

Even Daddy enjoys Chuck-e-Cheese!

So, I thought I could get a photo with everyone happy, but I was wrong! Look at Havey's big brown eyes rolling up at me. He was so annoyed that I was still trying to get a good picture (we had taken so many). Those big eyes were saying, "How much longer!" In the picture below Charli-Marie calls it quits for the photos!

The boys are amazed at the lungs on this girl! Their favorite saying while she is crying is, "She's got to run out of steam sometime!" and when she is burping, normally followed by spit up, they say, "She's gonna blow!"

Tiny hands and Tiny Feet! God is amazing!

War Eagle!!!

Aunt Laura and Uncle Joseph came to Starkville when Charleston Marie was almost 4 weeks old. They got some baby-practice while they were here; good thing since they are expecting their first baby in March! Congrats Laura and Joseph. Charli-Marie will be thrilled to have a little playmate!
We love our little "Special Delivery". This is the cutest shirt that they had in the hospital gift shop- Mama Ann thought she had to have it!
First tub bath! She really likes this much better than the sponge baths. She is so precious trying to lick up the water!
Stephen Louis shows-off with his latest trick! Benjamin Harris can do it also (his photo was to dark to post), all the way to the top of the door casing! Never a dull moment at our house!

Nan and Pop came for a visit when Charli-Marie was 1 week old! She loves to be held, so she really enjoyed them coming to our house. (She is yawning, not crying in the photo of her and Poppy, she loves her Pop!) 1 Week old and cute as can be!
