Stone Family Babysitting!

Our amazing friends, Erin, Josh, Ryann and Emma babysat Charlee for us on Saturday night so that we could have a much needed date night! I can't believe that Ryann is going to be 8 on Charlee's first birthday and that Emma is already 6 1/2! The time has flown by and it is so rewarding for me to see them care for Charlee so sweetly! Erin and I always knew the day would come when her girls would help watch my kids...and here it is. Norm and I went to the place we met- Cheesecake Factory- and then to a movie! It was amazing. Thanks Stone Family for being such incredible friends! An adorable pic Erin took with her phone

Feeling Better and a new word!

We wanted to update everyone that Charlee is doing great! Her rash is almost off of her face entirely so that is wonderful. She also has a new word...Baba, which in Charlee language means Bottle. She now has 5 words- Dada, Mama, Hi, Yes and Baba. Also, the other night in the car a motorcycle went by and she said Whoa! She needs to do it a couple more times for me to count it :o) Thank you all for your love and support. xoxo!

ROSEOLA! Holy Mola!

Well we finally have a diagnosis for Charlee's marathon illness...Roseola! When she woke up from her nap this evening she had a rash on her face and neck...we took our third trip this week to the doctor and she was diagnosed with a classic case of Roseola-- three to four days of high fever- 102-105 followed by a breaking of the fever and a rash over her body. Poor baby but at least we know what it is! She should be better by the end of the weekend. Norm and I are so relieved but so tired we can't see straight!Spots, what spots?!?!

Light during a tough week...

As many of you know this has been a really tough week around the Leonard household...but as I type Charlee just broke her fever for the first time in 3 days! I actually cried when I read the digital thermometer. Anya is on her way over with Wahoos to celebrate. Here are some precious pics of Charlee and Girdie I caught of them standing in their new favorite spot together...they are just waiting for Anya!

Helpin' Out!

Charlee is trying to pull her weight with helping out around the house and she is starting with the dishes! Actually she likes to get into the dishwasher and pull out the silverware...knives excluded of course! Not so helpful but cute nonetheless.

Sick, sick and more sick!

Poor Charlee has had the gnarliest cold! One week and counting and still with a 102 fever. One benefit of the cold is that she is a snuggle hound and has found her favorite spot with Daddy on the couch. Considering she is normally too busy to snuggle this is a ray of light in the snot filled darkness! We did learn at the doctor that she is 18 1/2 lbs. Also, she is saying yes(and nodding for extra affect), Mama, Dada, and Hi! Only one to two unstable steps so we are not sure if walking will happen by her birthday but it just might!

Best Buddies!

Charlee and Girdie also love looking out through the screen door...who wouldn't love to be greeted by these two?

I love Girdie!

Charlee just loves Girdie and has taken to snuggling with her in her bed! Sometimes Girdie likes it and sometimes, not so much :o)

Ice Scream, You Scream, we All Scream for Ice Cream!

So this is a month premature to Charlee's first birthday but we just could not resist with the Marshalls and Andrews all together. We will let the video speak for itself! Also on this same night Charlee took her first step! It must have been all that sugar :o)

~Sarah heart Michael~

We had a great time with the family at Sarah and Michael's engagement party! Charlee and I are so sad to miss the wedding in a week and a half but Norm will represent :o) We are so excited for them...here are some pics of the event.

"Good Grief"- the Movie

Norm has been busy writing, writing, writing and recently has had a string of his short films shot. Anya, Pops, Brian and Christy all had cameo's in his latest short film, "Good Grief" directed by our dear friend Fevzi. Here are some shots of the shoot...all I have to say is good grief!Hmmmm

Charlee payed a visit to the set...in this picture I think her inner dialogue would go something like this, "what in the bleep is on Anya's head?!?!?"

The fam at the shoot...we are SO proud of Norm!

In the infamous words of PH, "That's Hot!"

Celine Dion!

Charlee and I had an incredible trip up to San Jose a few weeks ago for some serious girl bonding. While many of you know the weekend was tainted by the stomach flu, we also had an AMAZING time at the Celine Dion Concert. A dear friend, Auntie Lala, watched the little girls and the big girls got a night out. Here are a few shots...please remember that our hearts will go on and on and on and on...

We had a great seats thanks to Adam!

Our pre-concert din din...so yummy it was worthy of a picture

Her legs are just ridiculous! Lucky!
