Charlie

We have had Charlie for a month and a half now, and we are all head over heels in love with him. We have songs that we sing to him. We've given him a middle name, and it's hard to imagine life without him. I will readily admit that I am the one who resisted getting a dog, fearing that it would be like having another child (except without maternity leave). But, he has been absolutely wonderful.

Now, I didn't say perfect. A few weeks ago, I came home to this:

Poor scarecrow. But, we wouldn't trade him for the world.

JD's birthday

We celebrated another birthday at our house, oh, about a month ago. And my Spiderman-loving son celebrated with Spiderman-themed parties.

 He is now sporting a new jacket, courtesy of Nana and Papa.

 He also has a new robe, courtesy of ND Grandma and Papa, as well as several other Spiderman items.  

A boy can never have too many, apparently.

JD celebrated at school too. It was a fun-filled day!
