It really wasn't all that long ago that everyone would open a weekly email to find photos of these two...
Life changes so much after having a little one. Hold us accountable (please) - "We resolve to be better at taking pics of the pups and making sure they're documented too!"
Kudos to Stevens for getting these two great shots. Daisy was at the top of the steps deciding what to do once Charlotte reached the top and, Chopper was on his throne (our couch) and on active duty as 'mayor' of byron court.
I walked into the kitchen last night and saw this...
She's nuts (and we LOVE it).
Took Charlotte to see her first movie IN (I repeat, IN) the theater!
A couple of weeks ago there was a Toy Story marathon on one of the local channels and Charlotte was immediately smitten; she even managed to 'talk me into' getting her very own Jesse doll (not really difficult, I'm a pushover). Most every day she requests to watch 'Toy Store' and then promptly hands us the remote. When we realized Toy Story 3 just came out in theaters, we threw our hands up and thought, "Why not?"
So, off to the theater we went. Charlotte brought Jesse, of course, and had her own bag of popcorn (no spills either!). She had a tough time keeping the seat from closing on her so Stevens and myself each kept a leg on a corner. A couple of times she got real excited and started chatting and voicing her opinion as loud as humanly possible. The result? Lots of shushing from Mommy + Daddy and lots of laughter from all other movie patrons (it really was pretty darn funny).
Overall? A total success :)
Mimi arrives tonight and we're all a little excited about that too!
Last night on the way home Charlotte and I stopped to grab some good 'ol Chic-fil-A and I was sure to ask for ranch dipping sauce (I think she likes the ranch better than the actual chicken and fries). We pulled into the drive way and were able to take the doggies out just before the heavens opened up and made way for a huge thunderstorm. Dinner conversation...Boom! Boom! Boom! (thunder, in case you didn't know)C: Mommy, I no like funderthstormth.M: It's ok sweetie; there's no reason to be frightened. They're just loud and will go away soon. I promise; no worries.Charlotte takes another bite and contemplates really hard.C: Mommy? I my ranch to funderthstormth? They go way then?M: Sounds like a fine idea to me.
