Charlie's Announcement

I am going to be a big brother. I don't know if I have a little brother or sister yet but I do know that I will have a playmate on September 12th!

Update on Charlie's Kidney

We had our 3 month check-up today and Charlie's kidney still looks great!!!! Yeah!!! We don't have to go back until September. Thanks again to everyone for all of the prayers!

Charlie and the Cheese

Charlie has this funny little habit of storing his food in his mouth long after his meals. He will hide his last bite in his cheek or under his tongue and at some point 1, 2, or 3 hours later he will laugh or do something to make his stash noticeable. Pretty gross, I know.

Valentines Day...The Invasion of the Body Snatchers

For Valentines Day, John made a beautiful, romantic dinner...Beef Wellington. I fed Charlie and set him up with his toys (within eyesight of course). John and I sat down in the dining room and within about 5 minutes we see both dogs and Charlie crawling towards the gate separating the kitchen and dining room (reminding me of the body snatchers or in this case the Valentines Day dinner snatchers). We spent the remainder of our "romantic" dinner with the three of them standing on the other side of the gate staring at us with their sad little eyes. I passed them each a bite making all three happy.

Enjoying Nice Weather

We had a rarity this February...a nice day!! We took advantage of the great weather and took all three of our "boys" on a walk. Murphy and Guinny were very pleased as this is their fave. Charlie had fun for about 1/2 of the walk and then was over it quickly. Mommy speed walked him home before a melt down as Daddy finished walking the other 2 boys.

Charlie's First Haircut--Before Shots

Big day for Charlie today! He had his first haircut. Aunt Erin came to the house after work to snip his locks. He had hair growing over his ears with a mullet in the back. We thought about waiting but everyone that I've talked to says that they wish they would have done the first haircut earlier...so we decided to go for it. He was an angel. Erin said she's never had a baby be so good for his haircut. It was probably because we were distracting him with both the camera and video camera....we all know that Charlie loves having his picture taken!!!
