First-Timer

This is my first attempt at blogging. My Aunt Carrie suggested it when I was pregnant with Charlie. It seemed like a daunting task until this evening when my friend, Vicky, sent a link to her's. I saw the link to create a new blog and it only took a couple of steps. Thrilling!

Now I can update family and friends on the changes in our family.

The latest news is that we went up to Wisconsin for Charlie's first Halloween. He was Leo the Lion, cause he is one! Above is a picture of Charlie with His Grandpa Kelly and cousin Martha. Martha was incredible with Charlie. Very compassionate, observant and helpful...especially with the passifier. Practice for a sibling!

That trip was the second time Charlie flew on an airplane. The first time MoMo and I took him to Colorado to visit his Great-Grandparents. It was incredible how content he was throughout the trip and it was a gift to all of us to be together.

As for me, I went back to work just before Halloween. It's still an adjustment, but the awkwardness should get better with MoMo watching Charlie, and a good reason to go to work...kids and to get out of the house for adult socialization!

Charlie just started rolling over on Saturday. I slept in while Byron witnessed his first role over! I saw it with my own eyes for the first time today. So exciting. He has made it thru the newborn phase and it's a relief to watch him grow and hit the milestones.

We are so excited that O'Bama won. It's a lot to absorb, but quite a milestone for our country! Intellegence, equality, and the pursuit of the common good can prevail!

More photos sometime soon...
