May 7, 2011 you turn 4 Charles T.! You deserve the best that life can offer you and MORE. You are a young man with an old soul and we love you to pieces! I will never forget playing Scrabble with your Dad while I was in labor with you. I could handle anything thrown my way because I knew in God's time I would meet you, kiss you, and never let you go! Just last week you and I were snuggling and I said "I wish we could stay like this forever!" and your response was "Mama I can't stay in your arms forever." Always thinking realistically aren't you?!
Charlie's birthday was spent with Grandma Millie, Nama, Auntie Heather, Uncle Ben, Uncle JP, and cousins Karlie, Claire and Avery. We went to the Como Zoo for a picnic, cake, and animals. The day was a BLAST!! I can't say enough how happy I was for our son that his birthday was perfect. Obviously we wish we could be with everyone we love on our birthdays BUT living in MN that isn't always possible. All 5 of us enjoyed ourselves with our company! The lil boys immediately warmed up to uncles and cousins and Aunt Heth. Charlie ran to his cousins for birthday hugs and had beads of sweat all over his face all day! Tim and I didn't stop smiling until bed that night. We all left happy, feeling blessed, and exhausted from family fun!Thank you to all of you that made Charlie's birthday one for the books!! We appreciate you taking the time out of your schedules to spend the day with us and our birthday boy.
Charlie also wanted to say thank you for ALL the text messages, phone calls, emails, and cards he received!! We are all lucky to have Charles T. in our lives.

Famous Line of The Day came from Claire : "Uncle Ben those are Buffalo Wild Wings!" She saw the buffaloes and got very excited.
Can you guess? Claire and Charlie were inseparable!
There they are again. Claire is 7months 2 days older than Charlie but they are great friends!

Well, Grandma they tried really hard to bring that turtle home for you.
Finger in the nose while he sang "Nigh-Nigh"
We also had to sing Happy Birthday to YELLOW! That blanket has made it 4 years and finally ripped last week. Still holding strong though.
Charlie will be making his annual donation next week. We planned to do it this week and Grandma and Papa requested that we wait so they could help with the contribution. He has already gotten help from a few and we couldn't be happier about it!! Those pictures will come soon.
