Christmas Tree

It has become our family tradition to get our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. There is a tree farm that we love to go to about 30 minutes from our house. They provide saws and let you cut down your own. It was especially fun this year. We had Charlie's parents here to help and it was a balmy 50 degrees!



Here are a few shots of the kids. So funny to me that we now say "the kids"!

Coleman Matthew Brooks

Coleman was born yesterday morning at 10:38am. He weighs 8 pounds and is 20.5" long. So many prayers were answered through the labor and delivery. He has done well in his first day outside of the womb. Callie got to meet him and hold him yesterday and it was a lot of fun for the whole family. We know these days ahead will be full of challenges, but we're praying that God will use it to grow us closer to him. Here are a few pictures from yesterday. Right after he's born
