Pip, Pip, Cherrio!

Anya and Pops headed off to the British Isles yesterday-- England, Ireland, Scotland and Whales-- for a few weeks of fun. We miss them already and hope they have the best time! If you are reading this...drink a spot of tea and say hello to the Queen for us! xoxo

Fun with Daddy

Friday's are Daddy and me day for Charlee. As you can tell they have a blast together! Here are some Charlee updates: currently cutting 4 molars...ouch! Due to the teething we are in a bit of a biting phase...double ouch! She loves to take anyone's temperature with her ear thermometer...even Girdie's! "I love you" has become a favorite phrase, she wants to be held inside and won't let you pick her up outside, her love of water has reached an epic level...I swear Noah is going to come build an arc in our house soon, and she is growing a small amount of hair! Love to you all!

In case you can't tell...her shirt says, "I blame my parents"...thanks Auntie Jennie!

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July everyone! We were lucky enough to have Jenny, Jim and Gracie for Friday and Saturday morning...the girls got all dressed up in their star-spangled gear courtesy of Anya. After they left on Saturday we went over to the Sun and Sail Club courtesy of the Koppe's for a fantastic day! Thanks again for the wonderful hospitality! Here are some pics from the day for your enjoyment. Also, Charlee is growing hair! You can see it in a few of the pics below :)

Check out the 'do!

My new Martha Stewart Cupcake book...I am SO excited!

Yes Please!

Little Miss Charlee Marie has a new word...Please! Norm has been working really hard on it with her and this morning she got it. Norm asked, "Do you want to go on a walk?" Charlee replied, "Yes, Please!" We are loving having "Daddy" home more now that school is out for Summer...here are some cute shots with Charlee and "Daddy."

14 Months

I can't believe Charlee is 14 months old...my how time flies. Here are a few shots of her from this week doing what she loves...bath time, wearing diapers on her head, and being adorable.

Opening Doors

Our Charlee Marie has figured out how to open doors...oh joy (sense the sarcastic undertone). She is a clever one and as always is finding new ways to keep us on our toes. I have been reflecting lately about how big she is getting. Like, when getting her out of the bath, she is actually almost bigger than her towel! Or, when snuggling with her, her head goes under my chin and her legs reach almost to my knees. When did she get to be such a big girl? She loves to say Whoa, Oh No, and has now pretty much changed Norm's name to Daddy. Something new everyday!
