HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY, CHARLIE!!!!

 

Look - a SISTER!!!!

 

Charlie will probably never remember life without his little sister, Lindsay. He has loved her from day 1.

 

He has transformed into quite a "dude" in the past year or so......thanks to his older brothers!!! This was at Virginia Beach last summer.

 

Charlie will always be famous for his many trips to the refrigerator. I think this was the first time I caught him climbing up. His primary target is always YOGURT....but if something else looks interesting, let's try that too!

Playing Ball

 

As soon as he was old enough to put on a glove, he was out there playing ball with the big boys......

 

 

EXTREME CLOSE UPS

 

But, oh, what a face!!!

 

 

One of my favorites.....Charlie really studying Uncle Stuart. I just love that face!

GO BUCKS!!!!!

 

I think they actually won the game they played on this day!! :)

Marc & Charlie

 

 

Marc has ALWAYS enjoyed Charlie & was finally old enough to really help when he was born.

Oldies but Goodies

 

Some pictures from the archives - some older than others. This was actually LAST school year. Andrew started giving Lindsay piggy back rides. As a result, she wouldn't leave him alone unless he took her on one when SHE wanted it!! I couldn't fuss at either one of them because it really was cute to watch... This year she has moved on to "hide and seek". She likes to count while the boys hide. It's hilarious!

 

PPPPLLLLEEEEEAAASSEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

SUCCESS!!!!

 

 

This one is for Shilo --- Lindsay just after she turned 1. She STILL trys to get my Starbucks cups, no matter if they're hot or cold!!

 

Andrew took this one while I chatted w/Beth & Nate - good job Andrew!!

 

Lindsay LOVED Beth & Nate's baby, Jack.

 

 

Concentrating HARD on opening the peanut shell.....I just love her chubby little arms & legs & how STILL she's sitting. That's a very rare thing these days!!!

Ridin' the Bus!!!

 

This is our first experience with the bus & I have to say, I LOVE IT!!!! I'm still driving Marc to school, but it's very nice to just walk Joey down in the morning & then wait for him in the afternoon. He wasn't too crazy about it yesterday because it was SOOOOO hot.....and he said he got a little tired. But I think overall, it'll be just fine.

 

I'm not sure who was happier to see Joey - Lindsay or the dog! I don't think Lindsay realized that we were really waiting for Joey to come up the driveway. When she saw him, AFTER the bus pulled away, she RAN to him yelling excitedly, "Oh - Joe, Joe!!! Oh - Joe, Joe!!!" Sweetness. :)
