Welcome!

I finally decided to start a blog to post what we're up to. I'm so bad at taking pictures or even remembering to have my camera that I'm afraid Charlotte won't be able to look back at her childhood. I know I'm starting to feel guilty because I asked Stephe for a new camera for my birthday, one that is small enough to fit in my pocket so I have no excuse! :) I really think I'm going to get my act together. I may even try to figure out how to use the video camera!

It feels weird to go back and write about the last 16.5 months so I won't try. I'll just jump in to now. This past weekend was ridiculously hot so we decided to set up the kiddie pool(s) for Charlotte and Lainey to keep cool. I think they both enjoyed it.


Sunday we had 2 big birthdays. Our niece Gaby turned 13!! It doesn't seem possible... I remember the first time I met her she wasn't even 3. Our other niece Hunter turned 4. We went to her birthday party at the Drawbridge Puppet Theater. It was a great little princess party. Hunter was such a ham and Charlotte really liked the show as well. I thought she might be a little young but she actually sat and watched the whole story. It was probably a 30 minute show and the story was Cinderella. She really liked the little bird and every time a puppet left the stage or the curtain closed, she clapped then waved and said bye! After the party Charlotte enjoyed walking around the grounds outside the theater.
