This is what I look at all.day.long--Annie staring at me through the window with a guilty pout on her face--we try to keep her as an outside dog, but she doesn't really agree with the decision. She has been the best dog--incredibly affectionate, pretty quiet, athletic, and fun. She's the perfect "chuck the ball and watch her race after it" dog.



I LOVE this picture--Charlie with his "oof" (dog lovey) on one arm, and a pink purse on the other arm, staring at Annie in the window...

Even brothers can borrow shoes from older sisters...


Charlie's first time wearing a tie to church--he'll wear anything if I tell him he'll be "just like daddy."

One lost front tooth...the other one has come out already too...this is one of my most favorite stages--there is nothing cuter than a kid missing both front top teeth--I just want to squeeze Lauren and all her friends when they smile at me without their teeth.

After Charlie's last haircut I had the barber style it into his first real mohawk...


We broke all the rules here--poor Annie had to share her personal space. I've since laid down some ground rules so that the dog has her own few square feet to call her own.

Andy hates these photos, but what he doesn't realize is just how much time Charlie spends dressed like this daily--it just happens!


A good moment--Lauren reading Junie B. and Kate cutting out every cute picture from a magazine--music going in the background. The family room was quiet--ahh....
