Charlotte was born March 5th, 2010. She weighed 7lbs. 11oz. and was 21 inches long. She is a cutie. We love her so much. She came 4 days late. I guess she really enjoyed it inside the womb. I had contractions all night long Thursday night, and all day Friday, but they slowed down. We were debating whether or not to go to the hospital, and we even had a friend come over to watch the kids. But after walking the mall for a bit, and the contractions hadn't increased in frequency, we decided to send her home. Only less than an hour after she left my water broke, and we had to call our other friend to come over. That was my first experience with my water breaking outside the hospital. That was new. It was an awesome delivery. Only at the hospital about 3 hours before she was born. Everything was awesome. She is a really good baby. I look forward to her sleeping through the night, but that will come I guess. The kids just love her. Besides the occasional blowing her face, and Darren sticking his foot in her face when she was in the car seat--we moved her carseat away from his. They really are very good to her. Our friends in the ward here have been so awesome that it has made it very enjoyable. So many took my kids the first week after she was born, and brought meals for dinner. We are so blessed. Can't believe we are a family of six now. It really does seem like a Big family now instead of a cute little family. It reminds me of growing up now. Hope all of you are all well. I'm terrible at updating this blog. I will try and improve. We'll see how long that lasts for. :O)

Wow! I can't believe how big your kids are getting - especially Kayla. I remember her as a little toddler with 2 little piggies sticking out the top of her head! She's so darling.
