A Few More Pictures

The story behind the name....The name Charlie is a name that Mark has always liked. Ever since I met Mark, he told me he was going to have a son name Charlie, so when we found out we were having a boy that just became his name. We tried other names here and there, but we kept coming back to Charlie. Brent is Mark's dad's middle name. Mark has a close relationship with his Dad; he respects him as a friend and a father and to honor him we wanted to give our son the same middle name.

Ruby looks so big compared to Charlie!


I am looking a little less puffy-- at least better than yesterday :)

Oh Kelli, first CONGRATS on beautiful Charlie! He is so sweet, and you are right Ruby does look huge compared to him! Isn't that funny??? And I feel so sorry for you because I was so puffy after I delivered too! I couldn't even believe that person in the mirror was me! Glad though that it only takes a few days (and several trips to the little girls room) to deplete all the excess water!!! I hope Mark is taking good care of you! Congrats again! Way to go Mom of TWO!

I believe we would have called your first born son Charlie even if you hadn't named him Charlie . . . much like Mark will forever be known as Brooks. :) Love and miss you guys. Praying that all is going well.
