The Weekly Charlie

This weeks edition will be posted at a later date, due to our current relocation to San Diego, CA.

GOD IS GOOD!

It amazes me how God works! He's always promised that he would take care of us and boy has He ever. We have been praying that He would send someone to buy or rent our house so that Charlie and I would be able to move to San Diego, CA. Up until Monday no one has really had any interest in it. A very sweet woman wanted to see the house and when she and her realtor showed up very early, an hour and a half, the house was a total mess. I was so embarrassed but they both said it was fine because they were looking at the house. Everytime she spoke all she could say was "I LOVE IT! This is so me." From the second that she walked in she was pretty much decided that this was it. After I answered some questions she had, the three of us were chating and I told her that I didn't mean to sway her decision but she would be such an answer to prayer if she were to move in. I tried so hard not to tear up but I couldn't fight them. Then she began to tell me that we were an answer to prayer to her. She had originally had everything together for a house down the stree from us and at the last minute the owner changed their mind. She was obviously upset because she had taken the day off to get everything in order but when she got the bad news her realtor said that there was one more house that was in her price range and suggested that they go see it that day. The whole time that we were telling our stories the realtor is sitting on my couch crying. By the time they left the house we all were crying. Its amazing how God works!

The only thing that is hard is we now have 10 days to get all of our things packed up and moved out of the house. One reason is because we sold the house and the other reason is because Trey's last day here is the 19th. The movers will be here the 18th, my birthday, to pack everything up and the next day they will come back to load everything up on the truck. Once all that is done we'll head on over to B'ham and stay for a week and a half or so and then leave for sunny San Diego! Now all that's left is find somewhere to live out there. So please keep up in your prayers.

Everytime something major has happend in our lives God had given us a rainbow. He did when Charlie was born and I know there was one somewhere on Monday.

The Weekly Charlie

We apologize that this edition took so long, we’ve been experiencing some major technical difficulties. I HATE Vista, and that’s all I have to say about that.

Memorial Day weekend, Charlie took his first trip to Birmingham, AL. He got to meet all of the extended family on Trey’s side. He also got to meet his Great-grand Tutu (Hawaiian for grandmother).

Its was a wonderful life moment to be apart of four generations (on both sides) gathering in one place.

Granma (my mom).Grandaddy (my daddy).Great-grand Tutu (my dad's mother).Four generations, that amazes me!Grand Joy (Trey's mom).It was a long car ride.That's my baby boy!I don't think that our first child, Harley, likes sharing the lime light.Great-grand Meme (Stan's mother).Great-grand Pappa (Stan's dad).Great-aunt Susan and her daughter Brittany.May I introduce Charles Stanley Skaggs Sr., Charles Stanley Skaggs Jr., Charles Stanley Skaggs III and Charles Robertson Skaggs.

You've taken almost 200 pictures! What's sad is I really did.

On Sunday, June 1st, Charlie turned two months old!


Then on Wednesday he went to his two month check-up, he got his shots and he did wonderfully you would have never known that he had just had his shots. His only side effect was that he needed some “hold me” time.


Friday we went to the water park. We didn’t go in the water this time but next time we’re gonna have some fun!

Saturday, all three of us went to Charleston’s Annual Duck Race. Every year 15,000 rubber ducks are thrown into the Wando River, the first 25 to cross the finish line win different amounts of money, but the first place prize is $15,000. Plus, in the one and million chance a random duck number is drawn before the race and if that’s the first duck to cross the finish line you win ONE MILLION DOLLARS! We sponsored two ducks and sadly we didn’t win anything, but we had fun despite the heat. After, that we went over to Senior Chief Felton’s house for a good ole summer BBQ. We ended up spending the majority of the day outside which we didn’t mind even though it was hot!

Yesterday, our friends, Ryan and Nicole had their baby shower. They have four more weeks left! I’m so excited for them. I got to make my favorite gift, a personalized height chart. I think I might make a bunch of these and sell them online later on.
