Memorial Day Fun

Uncle Patrick and Charlie



Cameron, Becky, Michaela, Patrick, Jameson, Mom, Dad,
Charlie, Doug, and Kelly
This Memorial Day meant a lot more to all of us this year. Patrick reported for duty in the Army the following day. We had a great BBQ with friends, family, and lots of Babies!
In Charlie news... He is 4 weeks old now and focuses on faces and objects. He is such a joy! He sleeps in 3-4 hour chunks (which Mommy and Daddy greatly appreciate!), and has given us a few smiles which we have yet to catch on camera.

3 weeks old today!


Charlie is 3 weeks old today. He has brought true joy, laughter, and love to our lives. I cannot believe how challenging parenthood has been...but how wonderful it is all at the same time.
He's a Keeper!
