So we made it home Saturday afternoon (in time to listen to the BYU game) and we're pretty tired, but we've had a fun time as a new family together. Here's what happened. We went in Thursday morning around 7 am, and they got Heather going about 8:30 ish. She started pushing around 2:30 pm and at 2:56, Charlotte arrived! We had a fun couple of days in the hospital, Hunter came to visit a couple of times, and really took to Charlotte. He was well prepared, we think, cuz we talked about her all the time, so he just wanted to hold her and give her hugs and kisses. Everything checked out great with Charlotte, she was healthy as can be and even took to nursing like she'd been doing it for months! We are so grateful she's here and well, and feel very lucky and blessed. Thanks to everyone who has/will help out with Hunter, meals, etc, we've had great support. I start school again tomorrow, and my mom and dad arrive tuesday night to stay for a week. We're really looking forward to their help, thanks guys! Here's a few more pics of the last few days.
Great one of mom and sweet little Charlotte. 
She is a lot of fun to cuddle!
Hunter would hold, hug and kiss her about every 10 minutes, if we let him.
Minutes old, on the scale.
She's got a full head of dark, long hair! Very similar to Hunter's, so we wonder if her head will outgrow her hair too, at first.
Isn't she a cutie?!
I hope to post a similar posed picture of her and Hunter soon, and you can see if they look alike. We think so.

Oh - she is such a sweetie! I love to see pink on a Luke child:) You're gonna love it! I can't wait for you to see the cute stuff I got for her at garage sales...it's quite a bit, so I'm just going to mail it. I'll send it tomorrow (Monday)How are you feeling, Heather?
She is beautiful! I love the one of Hunter holding her he looks so proud!
Yeah! She is SO cute and little and sweet. How fun! It was so fun to have you guys visit this summer. Good luck with the new school year and the new little one!
Well done you two!!! You have both genders down to perfection. I wish I could get a hung on her and Hunter too. We miss having you here in Provo. Bishop was released so now we are back in the home ward and we miss Wymount desparately. I don't have any sweet little kids to sit in my lap and to offer bribes to. Know that we love you a lot and are grateful that we can call you our "Own."
Much love, Sister "A"
