Fall Fun!

Charlie recently saw a commercial for caramel apples. He had been asking for weeks if he could make apples. During the premier of the new Jake movie we kicked the fall season by making homemade caramel apples. They were delicious!

Mr. Independent

Charlie is getting more independent by the day. He often gets dressed and brushes his teeth in the morning all by himself.

Sibling Love

Charlie is the greatest big brother ever. He never missed an opportunity to hug and hold his sister. He loves showing her off to people too. 

Evelyn is heading home!

Today we finally get to go home. Charlie caught a cold the day after Evy was born so he was unable to visit me at the hospital for a couple days. It was a long couple days for me, I missed him terribly as did his sister. We are so happy to be home!

Evelyn Rose has arrived!

Evy was born on September 15, 2013 at 3:02 pm. She was 8 pounds 2 oz and 21 inches long. We could not be more excited to welcome our daughter to our family. Charlie is so  happy to finally meet his baby sister and he is an amazing big brother!

Jake and Spiderman!

Charlie and Emma love playing together -- even dressing up!

First Day of Preschool

Today is a big day, it's Charlie's first day of preschool at Oscar Mayer. We have been talking it up and trying to get him excited for weeks. It is hard to believe the day has finally arrived. We had to wake him up this morning at 7:30 (early for Charlie) because he has to be at school by 8:30 am now. We had breakfast together and made sure we had everything we needed before walking out the door.

Once Charlie was up he was very excited all morning. His lunchbox is his favorite school supply and he carried it the entire walk to school. We walked Charlie into his classroom and his teachers showed him where he was going to put his lunch and backpack every morning. Then he was introduced to a boy who is in kindergarten and is going to be his classroom buddy and show him the ropes. He was a little hesitant to let go, but his buddy brought him over to see the classroom turtle and then he didn't even know we were there. Fingers crossed that drop-offs are this easy every day and that he is enjoying his new school!

(Ready to go!)
