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."

Splish, Splash

Children's Garden in Morris

Charlie, Sara and Ray...

Trip to Battle Lake!

Grandma, Ray and Charlie having black bars...

Big Brother Ray, Proud Cousin Charlie and brand new Anna Elizabeth!



I'll have to post some more Charlie and Anna pictures. Charlie loved kissing Anna (cheeks and feet) and gently rubbing her head. As you can see, she's a beauty!

Sandbox!

1.Find a spot...

2. Mark the 4X8 area and remove the sod...
3. Bring in the boards (after staining them)...

4. Call in reinforcement (Grandpa Tyrone) to help:
make it level, pound the stakes, drill the stakes, and bring the sand...

5. Play, play, play...
