Little Boy Blue

 We have been wondering if Charlie's blue eyes will stick around and Baer's parents dressed to compliment him very nicely! 

Sunset Launch

 I feel like watching rockets launch in to the setting sun should have some more indepth meaning but really we just get excited when they don't get stuck in the trees. Although one rocket went up and never came down....

Thanksgiving Afternoon

 Charlie slept through dinner and then got to see his first rocket launch. 

He also got to meet his cousins Carly and Steven and lots of other fun people!

Thanksgiving Morning

 Charlie started his morning with his Auntie Gretchen seeing the beginning of the Macy's Day Parade

Cutest Pumpkin in the Patch

More Friends

 If these pictures are any predictor....Charlie and Alexander are bound to be great friends! 

Wooding Season

Charlie participated in his first wooding season up at Dean's house.  He got his first ride on a John Deere.  Cutest John Deere operator ever! 

At the Racetrack

 Charlie and I went up to New Hampshire to see Baer's Lemons race.   Charlie slept through most of the day, those headphones worked well!

 One of the cars.... how was Baer's team doing you might ask? They were replacing the fuel tank, but they got to race on Sunday. 

Hanging with Dad

Yardwork

Charlie supervised the raking

Visiting in Connecticut

Charlie was not scared of the witch.

Meeting Some Great Grandmas

 Charlie got to meet his Great Baby Grandma and see a picture of one of his name sakes, Great Grandpa Charles Ritchie.  

 He also got to meet Great Pool Grandma and took a nice cozy nap with her .

We couldn't stay all afternoon though....Grandma had to go to the Senior Center to play cards for money and hope she didn't get kicked out.  You go girl!  

Wedding in the Woods

 Nick and Rachel had a very cool wedding in the woods behind their house. It started with a muddy hike up a hill and ended with a great party in their back yard.  Baer and I also got to go alone and leave Charlie with his Grammy and Papa Bear  

I was very concerned about what one wears to a wedding on a trail in the woods in Maine, I did okay i the fashion department and seeing as there was everything from a prom dress to someone in jeans and a hoodie...it was an anything goes sort of affair.
