Birthday Week Begins Here

Birthday's today are Ben's, my oldest, and his youngest, Lily, who was born the same day and almost the exact same time...missed it by 3 minutes!

Who is this?  This little girl is Charlie. Ashley and Danny really wanted a dog, now that they have a house, 2 kids and a garage....isn't that a song??

 The 2 youngest for the time being, Charlie {canine} and Avery {human} and their parents chins....

 a little girl and her little pup.  

Rhiley has a birthday this week also, she will be 2!

 In all the chaos of family gatherings, someone said, "I hear Avery, she's awake."  Next thing we know, Grandpa Dan is coming out with Avery.  First time he has held her!!!

{Avery was pretty delicate as a newborn, which was a bit scary for Grandpa, so he just waited until she was stronger. She is nearly 2 months old now}
