Thank you Carlton Builders!

Long time...

no post! Yesterday we went to our church's Harvest Festival for the first time. All the kiddies (and some adults) dressed up and acquired lots of candy. We even won a pie! I made Charlie a costume. Can you imagine? Me spending countless hours making my son a costume that he would only wear a relatively short time. I felt a little guilty as I'm sure it wasn't particularly comfortable and the gym was quite hot, but he was so cheerful, you'd never really know...
He went as the Phillie's mascot, the Philly Phanatic. Got quite a few laughs!

This is how Charlie and I spend a lot of our time these days: me doing housework and Charlie peering over my shoulder inspecting my work. (And also drooling so that I usually end up a little damp. Small price to pay for mopped floors I say.)We also took him to his first Vandals game. He loved all the people and enjoyed helping "make noise" during "thirrrrrrrd downs!"

Whew.

Hiking. Enterprise, OR. Camping. Wedding out of town. Surprise guests. Fall Jolly. Charlie learns to crawl. Parents come to visit!!! Wedding out of town. Bachelor party-Rehearsal dinner-Wedding in town. Done.

Mealtime with Charlie

Whenever Charlie has a meal (solid food), he likes to hold his spoon as soon as he finishes. I'm guessing he's "practicing" for the future. Today, for some reason, he was in a particularly good mood after each of his meals (probably because I decided not to serve "Garden Vegetables") and we got some fun shots.

We have also noticed that he is starting to love the camera and seems to want to put on a good show whenever I pull it out.

I just logged on to write a post, and realized I have nothing to say... Well... we are heading to Wallowa this weekend. Keith will hike, while I stay in town and do various "town" things. Next week Keith starts school. Charlie has five teeth and weighs 16 pounds 11 ounces. Um... we're getting new woodfloors? So, we have a lot going on, but still nothing blogworthy on its own.

Here, have a picture.

This is from when Keith's parents visited in March. Goodness Charlie looks little! These brave Floridians withstood the uck winter marvelously. Way to go you two!

Stuff and Things

Charlie loves to look at himself in the mirror. And really, can you blame him? Here's a still from one side and some action from the other.

And here are a few other things we've been up to.

Camping! And would you believe he slept the whole night? If only we had been able to...

"Did someone say mashed bananas?"

Golf is hard work.
