Charlottes First Thanksgiving!

Charlotte enjoyed her first Thanksgiving at Nona's. All she had was milk, but she eyed mums plate of fixins the whole time! It was great to be around family for the day, good food, good conversation and football!

We have so much to be thankful for. This year we were reminded of how precious life is when we lost Nabia's father, our baby boy Buddha, Grammie Charlotte Fortier and Grandma Songer. And were reminded again when welcomed this new precious life in July. Family is all you ever truly have...and we are so thankful for all of our family, and those close to us we consider family. We love you all and hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving day! Happy Holidays from the Fortiers!

Charlotte's Baptism

Thank you to all who came out to celebrate Charlotte's special day. We really appreciate it and it was wonderful to spend the day with you all. And to those who couldn't be there, you were there in spirit and we hope to see you soon! Here are a couple pictures from the day :)



Mom and Char. Dress made by Nabia's grandmother. It was her wedding dress. Nona was christened in it as was Nabia. And now a 3rd generation! Such great tradition we hope to pass on some day!

Holy Water!

Charlotte Rae's First Days

She's finally here! Mommy and Daddy made it home safely with baby Charlotte (although the drive home was one of the most nerve racking experiences ever!). We are trying to adjust to our new family life. It'll take some getting used to, that's for sure, but we are trying to enjoy these precious moments with her.

So, no more ultrasounds or preggo pics, from now on it's 100% cuteness! I'm trying to excercise control and not take and post a million photos, but we will try to keep this blog updated regularly as our little cupcake continues to grow.

Thank you everyone for your kind words, love and support. Charlotte and us are very lucky to have you in our lives! We truly and honestly, could not do it without all of your support.

Here's a little slideshow of Charlotte's first couple of days in the world. You can click on the slideshow and it will bring you to the web album where you can see the full size pictures and download pictures if you want.

Love and Light
The Fortier Family
