Welcome Charlie Groza

Last night Charlie Groza was born. He is named after my dad, William Charles Groza. Praise God for a complication free pregnancy and delivery. In this photo, I am giving Charlie his first bath. Like his sister, Charlie was born at the Birth and Women's Center in Dallas, which we cannot recommend highly enough (http://www.birthcenter.net/). Holly and I arrived at the Birth Center at 4:30 PM. Since she was in the beginning stages of labor, the midwife recommended we go to dinner and then try to walk around the mall. We had dinner, but by that time the contractions were getting close and more intense. We arrived back at the Birth Center at 6:30 PM and Charlie was born at just past 8:30 PM (delivery room pictured above). Holly only had to push for 4 minutes! Charlie was born weighing 7 lbs. 14 oz. at 20 inches long. At the Birth Center, dad gives the baby his first bath providing mom a chance to rest (pictures above). Notice from the picture that Charlie's ears are under water. The midwives commented that this recreates the sound and feel of the womb. As you can see, it definitely has a calming effect, putting him right to sleep! After having a late-night snack of crepes and quesadilla we left for home at 1:30 AM and had a good night's rest. Cosette stayed with the Collins' family (who have 6 excellent playmates for her) from church last night and we look forward to introducing her to Charlie.

Cow Town!!!

Cosie had so much fun at this year's Stock Show! People came from all over to show their livestock as well as participate in auctions. The record sales this year totaled 2.3 million dollars for all the animals sold! We got out of there without the bunny even though it was hard to leave him!
