Our Boys Are Here

Henry on the left... Charlie on the right.


Charlie


Big brother and little brothers!


Hey there! Here are a few pics of our beautiful baby boys! They arrived on July 10th at 1:16p.m. and 1:18p.m. Henry Davis Smith weighed 6lbs 1 oz. and Charles "Charlie" Rhymer Smith weighed 5lbs 1 oz. We are all doing really well. We are delighted to have them here and even in these sleepless days and nights... we are so thankful and already in love with these two! They are so sweet.  

Also, tomorrow is my oldest 6th birthday! 6 years years ago about this time (10:00 pm) I started having my first labor contractions ever. I was 1 week overdue and I still wasn't sure I was really in labor. About an hour later... I was sure! I had never felt any pain like it before! But, I was so excited to be meeting our first little one that I did not care about the pain. I think it is interesting that 6 years later... here we are sitting up with our TWIN newborns!  5 boys in 6 years... how amazing! I would not change anything about it.

Happy Birthday Jackson!

Happy Fourth!

The dad took the boys (except for the two in utero!) to the July 4th celebration in our town. I love living in a smaller community. It was right down the road from our house, so I could actually see the fireworks from the window. It was really cool. I know the boys had an awesome time! D.S. (2 yrs. old) kept calling the fireworks rain. "that rain daddy? that rain??" He finally learned that they were fireworks. The first thing he said the next morning... "too loud, momma, pirechorks too loud..." Thanks Ardria for sending these pics. I missed you guys!!!
