MY POOR BABY

Because the doctors weren't sure what exactly Charlie reacted to the day we went to the ER with hives, we decided to "test" at home. I made sure we had the Benadryl handy and gave him 3 bites of scrambled egg. Within 2 1/2 hrs, Charlie was itching and uncomfortable. I had to put socks over his hands to keep him from scratching his face and ears. I gave him the medicine right when I saw the spots on his face, so luckily it didn't spread to the rest of his body. Check out my very sad, itchy, but lovable baby.

"What's happening to me Momma?"

"Oh great! I'm allergic to eggs!"

The Dads We Missed Yesterday

Since we can't be in two or three places at one time, we missed a few dads yesterday. We were thinking about all of you and miss you dearly!

An Olson Celebration

One Generation in Spirit

On Sunday, we had our Father's Day celebration at Tim's grandparents house in South St. Paul. We had a house full of crazy, singing, lovable Olsons!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DADDY!

Tim's Father's Day celebration started on Saturday. He was suprised to find out that he was getting his 3rd tattoo. It is his father's actual signature - Jon R. Olson. Heather (Tim's lil sis) got the tat a few months back and Tim knew that would be his next one. The timing had to be right and Father's Day was the perfect day to honor his own Dad.

The next part of Tim's gift was from Charlie. It is a picture frame with four generations of Olson men, golfing. The pictures have their full names printed on them to show the "father's tradition". The first picture is of the frame and the following are the actual pictures in the frame.

"Happy Father's Day Daddy"

Dancing with the Whittington Girls

On Friday Charlie went to Hutchinson for his second "Nama Playdate" with Nama and his cousins, Karlie and Claire. We went to a Teddy Bear Band Concert in the park which the girls enjoyed more than Charlie. At the end of the day, Claire and Charlie were dragging their blankies around begging for a nap.

A Day With Nama

Sunday Charlie's Nama came down to spend the day with him. They worked outside for a while and then played with his new toy - A BUBBLE BLOWING GRILL! Nama found it and couldn't resist. She said since Charlie's Dad is crazy about his grill, his son needed one too. We love it - Thanks Linda!

Like Father Like Son

"This is how you do it Nama"

"Steak or chicken Momma?"

I swear this is the first time I've done this! He was so hot from being outside that he couldn't stop itching his head. I think it's time for a haircut.

Rain, Rain Go Away!!

"My swings are getting wet."

"Mom, this is good for the grass."

"Rain come back another day"

"Hurry Dad!"
