Mommy's Make-up

This is NOT a black eye! Joshua disappeared upstairs for a few minutes - and when we went to go find him - this is what we saw!

Seatbelt Lessons

Since we broke into the backseat of our van with the addition of our third child, we began to teach Karis how to buckle her own seat belt. I didn't want to have to climb into the back of the van to buckle Karis every time we went somewhere, so we made a family activity out of seatbelt lessons.

Joshua cheered Karis on as Craig tried to teach her how to buckle. Honestly, I thought it would be a process of her figuring it out, but Craig is such a patient instructor, and she got it quickly! I asked Craig what other little tasks we could teach her!!

A few More Photos of Charlotte

Finally, a few more photos! I haven't beeen able to upload photos for a few days - for some reason the server was down...

A big thanks to Melanie Oldacre who took photos of Charlotte and us the night that she was born and posted them here the next day.

Craig and our three children!!

Our new family of 5!
