Michael gave Charlie a flashlight, took him into the bathroom, turned off the lights, and then told him to catch the light.  :)  He spun and spun trying to catch that light and made himself so dizzy!  All three of us couldn't stop laughing!

May 2 - Day 306


Thinking about this man today.  He passed away yesterday evening, May 1st.  Mom got the phone call just as we were finishing our celebration dinner for Sarah's graduation.  He was in so much pain for so many years that it was a strange mix of emotions today - excitement and joy at his relief from suffering added to profound sadness from missing one of the people I have loved most in my life.
Love you Grandpa.

April 20 - Day 294


April 19 - Day 293


When Charlie really wants something he grabs my face, presses his nose and lips into mine, and then slowly and deliberately tells me exactly what it is he needs.  I love it every time he does.

April 18 - Day 292


The boys reminded Charlie that it was really funny to lick people.  Charlie was giggling, Michael and I were yelling/squealing, and the older boys were rolling on the floor they were laughing so hard.  So I guess they were right!

He shoots...


...HE SCORES!!!

(Although my favorite was when he would miss and say, "Oh!  Missed!" in such a cute, emphatic voice.)
