Happy Easter and Happy 9 months!


It's been 9 month since the day Charlie graced us with his presence, 
and we decided to celebrate with a ham and mashed potatoes! 
It was almost impossible to get both boys to look at the camera at the same time, so here's the best I could do! 

 We are truly blessed with great friends who don't mind acting as family on holidays,
and here they are enjoying a little bit of 'green' on their plates!
Charlie is a GREAT crawler and is standing up with the help of furniture all over the house! He's repeating sounds and giggles that his brother makes! Still not a tooth, but plenty of drool to remind us one's on the way! His big trick for the month has been putting toys into baskets or blocks into slots. His hands are pretty steady and I forget how little he is when he plays like such a BIG boy! Food has been fun for him, he's a big fan of feeding himself! I'll have to get the camera dirty next month and share how that's going! Spring is here and we're ready for the outdoors!

March Madness!

(clever title huh?) This entry will be more of a recap of this month in pictures!



We attended the annual Kids Co-op auction and had a great time with friends, here are the husbands smiling before we spent all their money....




 Jacob has turned into a voracious reader and to help him out with his vocabulary we've taken up Scrabble! He's pretty good and I've enjoyed our one on one time!
Soccer season is finally here! Jacob loves to practice any chance he gets! Here's Jake and Jack, er excuse me, Spiderman and Jengo Fett kickin' the ball around....
The Mighty Buffalo's
Happy St. Patrick's Day! 
Jake set his traps again this year....no Leprechaun BUT  a short note and some Lucky Charms!


Happy Spring! Great excuse for a weekend trip to Brianhead! 







With the arrival of spring, we welcomed our first crop basket from our CSA Quail Hollow Farms. Some swiss chard, collard greens, a few lettuces, carrots, radishes, and a Charlie!

8 months and on the go!

A little late with this post...only because I am so busy chasing THIS guy! Charlie is truly a joy to be with everyday and watching him learn new things and remember those from the day before, I know is how I should be spending my days! Charlie is remembering faces and voices, it helps that we are lucky to see our friends often! He and Jacob play 'chase' every afternoon after school, they play 'echo' at breakfast, and hug and kiss first thing in the morning!  Charlie is wearing through the 'knees' of his pants and I can't wait to start posting pictures of Easter clothes soon! :0) Oh yes, I should share... that his first word was 'Pa-Pa'! I am totally jealous, but not surprised! Jacob's first word was 'Da-Da' followed by 'Daisy'...let's hope I can sway Charlie my way!
