Welcome Baby Charlotte!

Altough my Mother-in-law won't admit it, she is quite good at getting things done. She blogs regularly, works fulltime, and has much time to spend with the family that she values so much. I saw her today, and she reminded me that I had yet to update my blog (which she checks daily). I felt that I had let her down because I have neglected to write for more than a month now. I have had plently to write about, I have just not made the time.

So, here it is Carol, my blog post!

Today, Matt and I welcomed a beautiful baby girl, and our second neice into the world. Her name is Charlotte Elise. After work we went to visit her and Rachel in the hospital. Thankfully they are both doing well. The picture is a bib that I cross-stitched as a gift for the baby.

I got teary-eyed several times thinking about the baby and how lucky she is to have such a loving and supportive family.
Seeing her got me thinking about when Matt and I have children (not for a while, so don't get excited). I can't wait to be able to hold my child in my arms for the first time, to see a smile on his/her face, and to see Matt hold them. It will be very special.

Happy birthday, Charlotte. Welcome to the big, beautiful world! We love you.
