Baby Charlie

We have a new cousin! Doug and Tamara are adopting this beautiful boy! Isn't he adorable?! As you can tell, he is super loved!




Now that these boys are getting a bit older, they can really enjoy each other! Daniel kept trying to give Charlie kisses, and the two of them were loving being together.

Newport Beach

Every year my family spends a week in Newport Beach. We are not always able to make it, but--besides Adam missing a few days in the middle--we were all there this year! Trisha and I each made chains to count down the days until our trip. The week was heavenly! We went to Knotts Berry Farm, visited the beach, had some birthday fun for Cher (the big 4-0), and lots more!!! Here are a few of the many pictures we took to illustrate our fun:

Thanks, Mom and Dad, for always providing such wonderful opportunities for us to all be together!

Daniel

He is so crazy and amazing!!! Last week I took him on a trip to Nashville. He slept through the night 2 of the 3 nights we were there, sat happily in his car seat/stroller for countless hours, and even slept for almost all of our flights there and back! Yes I am totally bragging; my baby is awesome. Oh, and he already has 2 teeth, last week he started sitting himself up, and today he started pulling himself up to stand while holding on to things! As our pediatrician says, he is quite the overachiever! He is always so happy and smiley. I love him to bits!!!
