Getting dressed in his baptismal gown. It was made by Grandma Spohr.


Charles Louis Hanson is Baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

This is the Spirit's entry now: The water and the Word,
The cross of Jesus on your brow, The seal both felt and heard.

Getting dismissed from School...


Friends!!! (There are 3 boys in the class and 5 girls...Charlie goes to daycare with both of these boys--He's pretty happy!)

Here's Charlie arriving to the park to celebrate his birthday with me and Mike...

Riveting gift from his mom and dad...

Charlie really is excited to be three!
He started out the morning by blowing out the candles (or "fire" as he recalled to me) on his eggs (Thanks Grandma Spohr!)
At daycare he got to "pick out" lots of things (food, activities) because it was his birthday...so tonight he went in the clubhouse at the golf course and told the person behind the counter, "I want a green cart tonight, it's my birthday!"
Well...Happy Birthday, Charlie! You are one special little boy!

Sweet Corn!

The first sweet corn of the season was a delightful experience for Charlie...

Funny Boy...

Today, Charlie and I cleaned and organized the front closet.
Here he is wearing my ski boots and hat.
About the boots, he said, "These fit good."
