About the Pictures below....

The slide show below just captures some snapshots of Charlie's birthday celebration...And although the "original party" didn't go as planned due to the yucky flu we had for 10 days(yes, 10!) Charlie still managed to have fun!
Gramma Jean and Auntie Kim, Ashley and Austin came down the day of the original party, and although it ended up being cancelled, Charlie still had fun with Gramma Jean, Poppie, Grandy and Auntie Kim and family...
Thankfully, the next day he felt so much better and we threw together a small celebration with some of his good buddies!
I still can't believe our baby is five....so independant, smart, funny, sweet and so loving!
Sophie girl you are going to be so lucky to have such a great big brother!
And although this wait has been two years tooooooo long......we know it's God's plan and one that will work perfectly for our family! I am beginning to see how the four year age gap between you and your brother to be will really fit us well!
During our bought with the flu I couldn't help but think and worry about you.....I pray the flu stays away from wherever you are right now, and I pray you are healthy and warm and loved by whomever God has by your side.....
Sophie we just Can't wait to get you home!!!! I know these next six months are going to fly by...March is right around the corner....then April /May/June/July.....and oh my goodness we will only be moments away from you at that point I hope!!!!
I love you my sweet daughter to be!!! (and daddy and Charlie too!)
Love, Mommy xoxox
