Bringing Charlie HOME

We brought Charleton home on April 26th- only 12 days after he was born.  We feel so blessed that he got to go home so soon.  

I can’t believe how tiny they look in the car seat when they go home-how soon he will fill the thing up!

One last shot of his little area in the NICU before we head home.  We met some pretty great people while staying there.

Our sweet little guy all buckled up and ready to go!

Driving into the valley, I had the biggest thrill inside of me.  I hadn’t been home in almost 3 months.  It was a beautiful sight! When we got home Henry and Emma were at church with Jon’s parents still, so we got to have a little time feeding Charlie and putting him up in his bed so we could see the kids first before introducing them.

The mayhem that followed! It was the best moment ever.  The kids loved him instantly and were beside themselves with joy and excitement to see the baby as well as their Mom and Dad.  I can’t explain the happiness that I think we all felt.

Emma loves babies more than anything, so she was just giddy and happy the whole time to hold baby Charlie.

Henry was so happy too, and is amazing at always washing his hands by himself before touching him. 

Best thing in the world is watching your children interact with each other.

We love this little guy.  He is such a mix of our two kids and just so sweet. We were lucky to have both sets of Grandparents visit him the day he got home.

Grandpa Parrish (Henry was nice and is already sharing his toys with Charlie.  Notice the speed racer car on Charlie’s blanket.  How sweet)

Do they come any cuter???

She is going to be the best big sister and helper.

She just might be the best kisser as well…

Early the next morning as soon as she woke up! We LOVE being together as a family at home again.
