Charles Earl, named affectionately after a great-grandfather and grandfather
arrived safely at home in the quiet of the night
January 30, 12:50 am
8 lbs, 14 oz 22 1/2 "long
An older sibling awoke to the surprise at 7:30 am and shouted the news down the hall, all came running and declared it was more exciting than Christmas morning.
I'm still marveling.........and feel so very blessed.
