What a wonderful feeling..

I know, a bit of a gap between posts- but we do still exist. Here we are at the zoo lights last weekend with our friend's the Whislers.

Charlie bundled up for the cold ala the Christmas Story.

Charlie makes some friends with the snowmen.

Charlie and Sutton take a break to smile for the camera.

Charlie and Dad having fun in the tree lot- we didn't need an axe or a shovel to find the perfect tree this year.

Charlie and Mom wear their Aggie gear on Thanksgiving Day.

Charlie received her Aggie cheerleader uniform from her Aunt Tiff!

Charlie hanging out in the living room one day, holding the Michigan football that Great Grandma Charlote sent her.

Ahh! Two of them- how cool would that be?

Love that smile...

I remember when it used to be a special thing when Charlotte smiled, oh wait- it still is.

Charlotte models that Aggie Cheerleading unifrom.

Gig Em!

Let's go Aggies! Rough tough real stuff!

Charlie and Granny B enjoying a hug.


Charlotte tries to get a kiss from Gracie.

Charlie took her first airplane ride in November as we trekked to Tampa, FL for Uncle Steve's 70th Birthday party. She was great on the plane as her ears didn't seem to bother her at all.

Charlie enjoyed riding in the toy planes at the Tampa airport. We've decided everywhere we go should have a kid's play area.

I see the best of me inside your eyes...

Another big blog post for you..as for the second year in a row we had Charlotte's pictures taken by Jennifer of Jennifer Lea Photography. Once again we are thrilled with the pictures..please see the link to Jennifer's blog on side of this blog- and if you choose her for your pics- tell her we sent you!

This is Dad's favorite pic from the session...love that lil' smile- hence the song for the post.


Charlie loves being thrown in the air and this pic really captures that.

Mmmahh...Charlie blows a kiss.

Caught ya!

Charlotte and Dad have fun during the picture session.

Sometimes when you ask Charlotte for a kiss, she gives you her dog to kiss instead, as she did here with mom.

Everyone's favorite pic..judging by Facebook reaction atleast. It looks like Charlotte is out for a stroll on a Sunday afternoon.

One of the family pictures..

Nothing like sitting on a fence...

Big smile here while sitting on a chair outside an antique store in downtown Powell.

Mom's favorite pic...for good reason.

Beautiful picture of Charlie and Mom...

Really great picture, look at that expression.

Really like the color combination in this one...

One of Charlie's words is - "stick", which sounds a little like "tic".

If that isn't a strut..I don't know what is.. looking like Ric Flair in this one--WOHHOO!

Let me just chew on my glasses while I think for a second...

I can hear the train acomin'...actually there was no train coming, so we got this great picture on the tracks.

Love the eyes in this one....

Charlotte walks through the fallen leaves with a smile...

Charlie smiles while thinking about taking the stroller for a walk.

We can't wait to get this pictures developed. Jennifer is the best and we strongly recommend her if you would like some pictures taken.

Feed them on your dreams...

Charlotte picks out her pumpkin at the Pigeon Roost Farm Fall Festival this past Friday.



Charlotte was still feeling a little under the weather coming off her cold, but she still enjoyed her second trip to the pumpkin patch.

Charlotte brought her faithful dog friend with her and did not drop it the whole time, as you will note- it makes an appearance in every photo.

Charlie thought the pumpkins were "balls" at first.

Granny Rose helps Charlotte chase down one of the chickens walking around the farm.

Dad and Charlotte picked out a 37 lb pumpkin, here they are seeing runnig away from the grandma's.

Granpda and Charlotte in the pumpkin patch.


Charlie and Granny B sitting amongst the big pumpkins.

The sun came out in spurts but it was a pretty cold day and she had to get bundled up to keep warm.

Charlotte has produced some pretty crazy and gross things in her diaper, but nothing could top this!

A brave Charlotte explores the Creepie Teepee....

Charlotte enjoys her ride in the wheelbarrow ride...

The whole clan had a nice little Sunday with quesadilla's at Grandma and Grandpa's house afterwards.
