This post is a little delayed, but my sisters Chrissy and Lindsey welcomed their little baby boy on Tuesday, August 27, 2019.  Whats funny about that date is that ALL of my kids were born on a Tuesday! So not only are they all part Callahan, they are all boys, their names all begin with C - AND they were all born on a Tuesday. How fun! Here is how Charlie entered the world... On Tuesday morning I had called Chrissy and she said Lindsey's water broke but they didn't have a plan or know exactly what that meant. They were on the phone with the doctor figuring out next steps.

This trip wasn't much different, as we brought a pack n play which we put in Chrissy and Lindsey's room - the rest stayed the same! We were very busy throughout the day and the ride there was pretty draining for them too, so they all slept great! Cal even napped there - which is crazy. He often doesn't nap if we're not at our place or his daycare. Anyway, we started ...
