The many faces of Charlee

Here are some pretty funny pics I caught of Charlee...such a ham!

Weekend with Anya and Pops!

Charlee had a super fun weekend with Anya and Pops while we were in Sonoma. She spent Thursday night and Friday with Grandma Sally and Friday night through Sunday with Anya and Pops. I think that Anya was a photojournalist in a former life! Here is an account of their weekend. Thanks again!!

They taught Charlee how to eat with a spoon by herself

It makes me smile to see Charlee playing with the toys Jenny and I loved as kids...too cute

Diaper, what diaper?

This is the best face to wake up too!

That teal toy in the bath was my favorite as a kid. It is a carosel and I used to LOVE it!

I think this is one of my favorite all time pictures of Anya and Charlee

On the way to pick Mommy and Daddy up from the airport. What great grandparents...they took impecable care and wore her out!

Sonoma

Norm and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary early with a trip to Sonoma for wine tasting, spa time and lots of delicious food. We had such a great time sleeping 10 hours a night and napping every day. We missed Charlee terribly but she had a fun time bonding with her grandparents who graciously watched her so we could get away. Thanks again...we needed it!Vines with little leaf budds

On Charlee's actual birthday Anya and Pops came over for a cupcake celebration. True to form Charlee decided that cupcakes are delicious and you don't even need hands. Thanks Anya and Pops for the delicious cupcakes and fabulous birthday celebration!

Fun with Anya!

Anya was amazing during her Spring Break and watched Charlee for us! Here is a photo journal of their day of fun!Fun Eating Crayons!

Early Easter

The weekend of Charlee's party we had an early Easter celebration with the family. Gracie and Charlee got the most adorable matching Easter dresses from Anya...so precious! There is a video of Charlee and her eggs at the end.

Party Continued...

We had our wonderful photographer Candice at the party to capture some highlights...she did such a great job. Here are a few!I love this one because of her Popeye face. Norm called her "One-eyed Chuck" when she was born...here it is again :o)

I wish I could do this everyday!
