Christopher Charles

Christopher Charles Lanier was born (finally!) on Tuesday, June 14th at 9:55pm.  He weighed 6.8 pounds and was 19.69 inches long.

Everything went very smoothly.  Erika went through 5 hours of hard labor, but we waited until we were sure it was the right time.  They had to break her water after a couple hours of labor.  She delivered Charley 100% natural!  The doctors and nurses were amazed that she could do it and I was very proud of her.

Both Erika and Charley are doing very well.  He's a bit more active at night than he is during the day, but we'll work on that little by little.  He's eating very good, just like Ashley did.  The difference is he is easier to keep on a schedule (hallelujah!)

I'll post pictures as soon as I have time to download them from the camera and upload them to the website.

Great Weekend!

We had great services both this morning and this afternoon with many great decisions made!

Erika still doesn't want to introduce baby Charley to the world.  Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow--maybe next week.  Everything seems like it's up in the air and that there's no certainty to any plans we make!  The good thing and most important thing is that both Erika and the baby are doing fine--just that they don't want to separate just yet!

We appreciate your prayers as always.  Keep in touch!
