Captian Charlie Reporting for Duty

 Charlie was dressed in his finest clothes to Pilot me on his plane.  

He was a very focused pilot. 

It Works

 The hot tub works, next project...Patio

Uncle Kevo

 We had a fun visit with Uncle Kevo in the beginning of the summer. We now are only interested in being pushed on the swing set, "really high like Uncle Kevo so I can see the ground"  

Exterminator

 This was Charlie's plan to trap ants as they came in the house. 

 Then he switched to sucking them up in the turkey baster before they got to the house. 

Wrestlemania.

 How do we entertain ourselves at home?

Mostly by jumping. 

Charlie the builder

Now that I have a smartphone maybe I will pick up blogging  again. We will certainly be busy this summer!

January Pictures

 These are the pictures I took in January.  It was really cold one morning + humidifier = really frosty windows, we watched the Super Bowl and played in our jammies.  

We can't wait to do it again next year.

 We had a such a fun time hosting Thanksgiving.  

Thanks for coming everyone!

Readings and Skyping

 We are Thankful for Skype. 

 And having lots of family come celebrate with us

Thanksgiving Morning

We had a great time hosting our first Thanksgiving.  

Charlie and Gretchen watched the Macy's day parade

Leaf Jumping

 Charlie was feeling a little under the weather for the wedding but he was full of energy one afternoon we were raking leaves.  

Carving Pumpkins

 Despite the look no Baer's face he is actually making a very jovial looking pumpkin 

Nest

 Our new Saturday morning game is playing "nest" while Dad watches some F1 faces. 

A boy and "his" dog.

 Charlie knows who owns dogs . Karl has Oscar, Dan has Molly, Grace has Molly, Mimi and Papa have Holly, and Charlie has Bela.  Well not exactly, but he did do a good job telling her to sit and going for walks.
