Sweet Siblings

The boys have taken to their sister with an ease I love and appreciate. I see them becoming her protectors, her confidantes, and above all, her friends!

This little girl already seems to know how lucky she got in the big brother department!

Growing Girl

Here are some photos of our baby girl growing up over the last year! These are February through September.

 

 

 

Overdue Introductions

So many happenings in the year since the Welch family has been busy living but not busy blogging! The biggest and best change is the birth of our third child, our first daughter, our first sister, and our most favorite youngest child. Introducing Charlotte Marie Welch, or Charlie as she has come to be known over the last few months! She was 6 weeks old in this photo.

It was a DINO Halloween!

We had a couple of cute dinosaurs in our house for Halloween this year! It was a busy day that started with a birthday breakfast in bed for Daddy and ended with a full hour of trick-or-treating in the neighborhood. In between was filled with classroom parties full of crafts, snacks, and games! Mommy was one worn out pregnant lady by the end, but the boys had a blast!

Ready for Chilly Weather!

Taking the Plunge

Our Henry finally decided to participate in his swimming lessons on Thursday night! He had been through 2.5 lessons watching from the sidelines, unwilling to join in the fun. His father and I chalk it up to his current view on life which is "I will do the opposite of what anyone wants me to do unless it involves eating candy". This has been a tough stage for him..... and us. We are so proud that he finally let himself take the plunge and have fun with the other kiddos!

That's Henry doing his back float!

 

We love our Grandma!

We recently spent the weekend with my parents at their house. We did lots of fun things like visit a horse farm, going to a movie and getting popcorn, and hitting the pumpkin patch. The boys loved it all! But none of those things compare to spending time with Grandma and Papa. My Eli loves his Grandma so much that he cries when we have to leave her house- and he's not one to cry usually! I love this picture because it really shows why our Grandma is so wonderful!
