Not me – this post. I have been meaning to update for a week now, but to be completely honest, I just haven’t had it in me. I spent last week soaking up every single second I could with our family in town. But since my parents left on Friday morning, I have kinda been a wreck. My homesickness is about a million times intensified and I honestly just don’t want to do anything but sit around and hold my beautiful baby and feel sorry for myself. Ridiculous I know. I have a wonderfully amazing husband who has been more than patient and supportive and would move mountains for me if he could. I have three happy, healthy, gorgeous kids. My life is pretty perfect. But you all know how desperately I want out of here and to move home…
I hope to get my act together and do a real post, complete with tons of photos and all the details, but until I get there, this will have to hold you over!
We had the baby last Sunday, June 27th. It couldn’t have worked out more perfectly. To my complete and utter shock, baby did NOT come early and we were induced! The kids got to stay home with their grandparents who were then able to bring them up to the hospital.
Meet Brighton Monroe. Seven pounds and fifteen ounces of pure baby girl cuteness! She is absolutely perfect in every way and we are all completely smitten with her! Huntler and Gentry have adjusted every bit as well as I knew they would – they ADORE her. And I mean ADORE. They tend to her every single need and are great little helpers.
And that’s it for today! Thanks for checking in on us and I apologize for keeping you on pins and needles by not updating until now!!

Bethany,
Thank you for the post. I have been waiting to see another photo of our newest member of the family. I hope you can dwell on the joys in your life – your family, friends, talents and even bits of your current surroundings. I have never lived far from my family, was too scared to try. Am proud of you and Chris for stepping out of your comfort zone in an effort to grow as individuals and make a great life together as a family. Can’t wait for you to move back, but until then, we all will endure together and try to soak up what this phase of our lives has to offer us. Love you lots.
That is so great! She is abosolutely perfect : ) I am so happy for you.
She is beautiful. congratulations to you and your family.
Your Mom is right. Concentrate on your joys…you will be back home soon.

I love, love, love her name! She was born on my Carson’s birthday!
