It's amazing how love grows until "yesterday" doesn't seem like true love. But it was. Just love at its beginning and this is love in the middle. :-) How I have enjoyed getting to know my little girl and He has given me an incredible love for both of my little bundles of joy. 
Three generations. Yikes . . . I look tired. I remember with Ezekiel, while still getting up through the night, I would get so tired. I would just feel like crying. No hope of the end in sight yet . . . still so many weeks away until he could sleep through the night. This time around I haven't felt like crying yet - maybe because I truly feel that I do not have the time to waste. :-) I have become hilariously delusional at times though. My poor husband will gently say, "Allison, when did she eat last?" I respond with the time. He continues: "That's probably why she is crying, eh?" My response: "I am feeding her right now." He chuckles. "No, you are not." Oh brother! I have done so many things in my dreams and it has rightly been said at times that I am "out of it!" ;-)
Zeke is as sweet as ever with her. He is always trying to cuddle or kiss her and seems entertained by someone so small. 
My handsome guys and little Charis at two days old . . .
My little book reader. He is my companion on the couch as I feed the baby. Most of the time, life isn't as crazy as I thought it would be. Sometimes it feels beyond crazy. :-)Every child is different. This time around is so strange compared to Ezekiel. Ezekiel didn't get sick for the first 15 months of his life. Charis was sick on day two. Many nights were spent up trying to relieve her congestion. I would lay awake listening to her labored breathing . . . thinking that it seemed so wrong for a baby under 7 lbs to be sick. Praying for her healing - in His time. She is improving slowly and we are thankful for her health otherwise. (She is gaining weight rapidly and is a strong little thing. She has already rolled over from her stomach to back. I speak only the truth! She moved a lot inside me . . . even all during labor . . . and not much has changed).
More pictures to come soon . . .

I have been waiting for pictures and these sure didn't disappoint! Beautiful family Allison. God's blessings to all of you. Your mom looks like your sister!
Let it be known that the grandma in the three generation picture would have been holding sweet little Charis much closer had she not still been sick with a cold!:) I look like the grandma who doesn't know what to do with a baby! Just didn't want to get her sick! So much for that idea!
