Molly Kate’s First Sunday at Church! She was 9 days old! (She did great and slept through the whole service!)

A Father’s Day attempt at a Family Photo ( we have a bunch more that look just like this one). Can you tell someone is adjusting (some days better than others)???

So, now you know why so few photos have Charlie – he just won’t cooperate (most of the time)!!! and apparently she wouldn’t for this picture either!
Since Sunday – What we have been up to . . .
Monday – we went to Bible Study at church, out to lunch, and Publix (way too much fun for one day)
Tuesday – Mama came to play for the day. We went to Pops Party Place for a play date with all of our church friends and most importantly — Ruby and MollyKate had their first play date!

Can’t you tell they loved it??? (they both slept the whole 2 hours)
Then Mama took us to lunch at Ruby Tuesdays – so yummy! We came home and played with MK while Charlie took his nap!
Here are a couple of pictures we took -

I think we have another thumb sucker on our hands! She refuses all pacifiers and GAGs loudly over the use of one!
Wednesday – We stayed home all day for the first time since being on our own. It was a tough day to start on since Chad was gone over 12 hours. I also ran a low grade fever all day (don’t know why – I am good to go today). I was so thankful to see Chad when he got home I could have cried. Of course, at that point I had both babies asleep and the house cleaned! He knew it had been a tough day and had a dozen roses for me and the sweetest card. What a thoughtful man!!!
Thursday – Today my cousin Kelly and her 2 little boys came to visit! We had the best time and unfortunately never got a picture of the kids together!! Oops! I sure wish they lived closer. Kelly is the closest thing I have to a sister and we have the best time together! Too bad we are over 2 hours apart! Maybe someday . . .
We have been so blessed by the outpouring of love and yummy MEALS from our church family!! It has been such a blessing. I have gotten to spend my time recovering and loving on the wonderful gifts from God named Chad, Charlie, and Molly Kate!
Precious! That is all I can say. Charlie is precious too. The picture thing will NEVER get better. I think every Easter picture of everyone all dressed up….at least 1 child is crying. Funny now to look back at it, but stressful at the time.

I loved the pictures and update. You and Molly Kate look wonderful. Sounds like you all are adjusting well and keeping busy. The picture with Charlie cracks me up. Such a different side of him.
