Friends

We were lucky enough to have our friends come over to play and have dinner! It was a busy but fun night! Between 3 moms we have 6 toddlers 2 babies and 1 on the way!

 Starting with Davis, Sam, Benjamin, Luke, Nolan, and Grace. (baby Charli was in her car seat)

First Trip

Behind on the blog is an understatement. I will do my best to keep up and post more often! So lets get started...here come the posts!

When Charles was 2 weeks old we took our first trip up north to Burt Lake. It went much better than we all expected! Charles slept a lot so that helped.

Charles is named after 2 influential men. We hope Charles can grow up and know what strong men inside and out he is named after. Charles comes from a great family friend of my Muggy's for over 70 years! (Charles Murray) He has been a role model to us all but especially Jason as a fishing guide and companion for the past 10 years.

His middle name Woodward comes from the last name of a man Dick Woodward who was a grandfather figure to Jason for many years. Dick showed/taught Jason all about walleye fishing on Lake Leelanau.

Welcome Baby Charles...

Baby Charles Woodward was born on May 2 at 5:49 am. We are blessed with a third baby boy! Nolan and Davis love him to death and can't get enough of him even after 2 weeks! The family of 5 is doing great and adjusting to our new life! Charlie is a great baby and we can't wait to watch him grow! Nolan and Davis want to take him everywhere and show him everything!!!

 Many more posts to come...

Charles: 8 pounds 3 ounces, 21 inches long 

 Charles was very quiet for about the first 5 hours of his life with us! He just looked around trying to soak it all in.
