On May 7, 2007 Charles Timothy joined his father and I, making us a family. We won't ever forget the moment he looked into our eyes. When Tim went over to him as they were wiping him off, Charlie was screaming and kicking his legs rapidly. Dad said to him "Hi Char its me Daddy" and Charlie immediately looked at his Dad and stopped crying. Moments like these we hold close to our hearts and remember on every anniversary of his birth. He is one of a kind and a little boy after his Momma's heart.
His birthday celebrations starting with him and Dad brewing Root Beer for his big party. Then we had ice cream and presents at DQ on his actual birthday with his brothers and Aunt Tina. On Saturday we had Charlie's first kid party which was a complete success (15 children attending with parents in tow). He was missing a few very important friends (Izzy, Soph, Mak, and Kyra) but plans to celebrate with them at a later date. Grandma and Papa along with Uncle Gabe and Kyra will see him in Sioux Falls to continue the partying on Friday night.
Charles T. you light up my life and help me get out of bed every day. You are a parent's dream come true and you will always have Daddy and I by your side. We love watching you learn new things, change everyday, and especially love watching you be the best big brother a pair of twins could ask for. We Love You!

Father and Son making their first batch of Root Beer. Tim was so happy to start this tradition because Root Beer was one of his Dad's favorite beverages.
They are still deciding on what the name of their first batch should be. It tasted awesome!
