We are feeling so blessed this week by the arrival of Charles Eugene Hurst  (8lbs 7 oz; 21.5“)  who joined our family  at 1:30 Tuesday afternoon, November 13.   We are so excited he is finally here!  What a beautiful boy!!  That brings our total to six precious grandsons. We are so proud of Briana and Philip inviting this gift from heaven into this world and into their home.  He is a blessed child, they a blessed family.    We were very happy to see Henry accepting and gently holding and teaching his new little brother.  In the hospital Henry held him for nearly an hour and began teaching him about life:   water is like milk but is clear!  Henry also tried to teach Charlie to snap his fingers and couldn’t understand why he couldn’t do it.   And Henry later exclaimed that he (Charlie) smells like pepperoni!   Elliott is also accepting but more interested in playing than being concerned about his new broth...
