The Move: Stage One

Last weekend, we packed up our first home.  Charlie helped us pack and move as much as he could! His favorite part was taking his broom and sweeping- at least he tried! :)

He also enjoyed emptying out the fridge- Charlie took advantage of the opportunity to sell dad some of his own stuff.

Another one of his favorite things to do was to climb on all the boxes!

He also loved taking out everything that I already packed and sort it his way.  Fun times packing with a toddler!!! :)

Goodbye first home- you have taught us so much and we have grown a ton as a couple and a little family in the past 6 years.  Can't wait to start making memories during this next stage of our life!

19 months

Happy 19 months Charlie!!!! What a fun month we had- between house closings, starting projects on our new house, packing, birthday celebrations, a beach trip, and much more it's been a very eventful month!!! 

 He had more teeth come in too- look at those pretty teeth!!

 July was full of birthday celebrations- first up was Gigi's....

 Then we celebrated Aunt Chrissy's....

He also had a few firsts this month.....first time at the beach....

....and first time in a fire truck!

 He also helped us pack up our house as much as he could- he loved the tape!!!

If he is not with me helping us pack you can find him in the bathroom doing this.....

We went up to school a few days to get my classroom ready for the new school year- this is the first place he went to.  Yikes!!

Most days he looks like this and we love him even more for that! 

Happy 19 months sweet thing!!

Burn Night

 Last Friday was 'Burn Night' for Chase for the Fire Department.  It was very similar to a graduation- where the newest recruits show off some of the skills they have learned to family and friends.  We had a great time being there and seeing what Chase has learned over the past couple of months.
