thanksgiving.

"shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth. serve the LORD with gladness; come before HIM with joyful singing. know that the LORD HIMSELF is GOD: it is HE who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are HIS people and the sheep of HIS pasture. enter HIS gates with thanksgiving and HIS courts with praise. give thanks to HIM, bless HIS name. for the LORD is good; HIS lovingkindess is everlasting and HIS faithfulness to all generations." {psalm 100}

first bath.

last thursday, when charlotte was ONE week old {i can't believe it}, we gave her the 'first bath'. 

of course, it's still just a little sponge bath {or 'spit bath' if you grew up in my house} but she did pretty great. she didn't scream near as much as i remember brady screaming when we gave him his first one. 

brady also had a great time watching our lil' miss getting her first bath.

*warning: i loved all of these pictures and couldn't choose.... so there are lots!*

going home.

seeing as we have been home from the hospital for one whole week, it's only fitting that i finally post our 'going home' pictures, right? right.

more charlotte.

daddy's girl.

when i went through all of the pictures from the hospital last night, i realized there are SO many pictures of a giddy daddy & his baby girl. i love it.

some of her visitors....
