Father's Day Boat Ride

 We went to Karl's house for Father's day and after the rain cleared away got to take a boat ride.  It was a beautiful night.  

 This is the calm part before Charlie told Karl to go fast.  

 Happy Father's Day Baer!  Charlie and I are both lucky to have you!  

Easter…Done.

 Well it took me a little while to get back on the blogging, but here's the rest of Easter.  We were excited that the Harris family could join us.  

 Trying to get a group shot.  

Starting the Easter Egg Hunt

 Ella and Charlie are both on a mission. 

Collecting Candy

 Charlie was pretty efficient in his dumping of candy into his basket. 

Sorting Eggs

 Once they were done it was time to show them off and sort them in the egg carton.  He would keep moving them around to fill in the empty spots, but since we only dyed 10 eggs it was an endless project.  

Uncle Kevin's Comin' to Town

One more thing...

 Happy Fathers Day!  

Happy Mother's Day

 We had a great mother's day in Connecticut.  

As a gift I got to sleep all night  (thank you Charlie)

and

I got to read a book (thank you Mom and Dad)

First Easter

 Charlie loved the ribbons and wrapping on his Easter basket! 

He decided to wait until next year to try Peeps.  

 Best Family Shot we could get. 

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

Christmas Day Activities

 Activity #1: Opening presents ( that have to be returned because I bought the wrong thing)

 Starting a Fire in the fire place.

Stacking Grandma's presents up into a tower. Very festive.  

Ella's Boots

Erin, Nate and Ella came up for dinner one night and I just couldn't wait to give Ella her Christmas present.  First, because I knew she'd love her new rain boots and second because there was rain in the forecast and I knew her current boots were way too small.  Even though she did love her boots I love her look at Erin in the last picture....she loves her mommy even more!  

Sitting Down

 In case you don't notice..there's snow outside that window!

Thanks Connards for a fabulous Thanksgiving!

Cooks in the Kitchen.

 This was not a case of too many cooks in the kitchen.  

All Set
