Charlie's 1st Birthday!

Charlie got a small climbing structure for his birthday. He loves it!

Not sure about all these presents, but he likes what's inside!
Oh, my baby loves cake! He just stared at all of us while we sang (like we were crazy!), but really enjoyed his cake.

Charlie then...and now

Hair?

Charlie's hair is getting lighter. Its blond underneath and even has a slight redish tint to it. Each one of my kids have different hair color. William's is the darkest, a very dark brown. Caroline's is red with blond highlights, Jackson's is a light brown and has blond highlights in the summer. No two are alike!

What a Face!!

Baseball tournament

William's team, the Greenie Meanies, placed 2nd in their baseball tournament this past weekend. A full day of baseball - 5 games in 24 hours! William got a great trophy (notice Charlie making a b-line towards them!) to mark the end of a great season. William played great and really improved. Not bad for his first year!

Hiking at Silver Creek Falls

First hike of the season. Not too hot, not too cold and no bugs!

Behind the waterfall. The kids thought that was the neatest thing ever!

Playing in the river!

We took a hike to Silver Creek Falls last weekend. After the hike we let the kids play
in the river. The water was cold, but Charlie seemed to like it. He didn't really get in the water, just played along the very edge. He also liked digging in the mud.
