1st Birthday!

"Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday, dear Charlotte. Happy Birthday to you!"

 

You stole our hearts from day 1, Charlotte May, with your sweet smiles and easy demeanor. We love you, big girl!

Birthday Week!

Charlotte's *birthday week* got off to a great start with an afternoon at the park with newly married Aunt Beca and Uncle Glenn! Then we all met up for dinner at Moki's, our favorite neighborhood spot.

Can't believe it's only two more days until our baby girl officially turns 1!! Oh my goodness, time sure flies when you're having fun!

These days...

 Hi guys, my folks have been busy these past few months with guests, parties, milestones, etc... Rest assured, there are pics to document these events, it's just going to take some time to get them on here.

In the meantime, guess what!?!? I'm WALKING!!! Em's in heaven, and I am too :)

Happy Father's Day!!!

Emily and Charlotte have a nature loving Daddy who spies all kinds of creatures for them to meet.

 

That's why we're taking him to the county fair to celebrate today, where we're sure to encounter more animal friends! 

We love you, Daddy-o!!!

Best Buds

These two are definitely becoming buds. Now that Charlotte's crawling everywhere, she can finally keep up with Emily! So Em's starting to see Charlotte as a playmate, not just a baby. It's pretty awesome, as you can tell :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Zoo time!

Em with her new BFF :)

 

 

She got a good look at the giraffes from this perch.

 

Happy girl!

(Don't worry, it's not a real tortoise.)

 

 

Then Emily & Uncle Chris had an idea...



 Say cheese!

Last dinner at Moki's! Thanks again for visiting!!!

 

Fun with Chris & Erica!

At first, Charlotte was a little wary of Uncle Chris (as she is with all strangers), but he soon charmed her :)

Our seldom used backyard and swing got some attention, which was nice. 

The backyard activities continued with some bug watching - lots of creepy crawlers were spotted.

And there were, of course, lots of giggles :)

 

Charlotte says, "Bye-bye!"

And thanks for visiting!!

 

Petersons visit!

Emily and Charlie had some visitors, back in February - yikes! We've gotten a little behind on posts. Here are a few pics to catch up!

Their visit included some important snuggle time with baby Charlotte.

And lots of walks up and down the hills.

Emily and Charlotte also did a bit of sewing with Grammy.

And baking with Grampa.

Uncle Chris and Aunt Erica were in town too - lucky us!

Emily got to read with them.

And Charlotte sized Uncle Chris up :)

Off on another adventure!
