our boy

christi and her little man with a fresh new haircut... and a cut from an encounter w/ a bookshelf (top middle/left of his forehead)
advertising for his dad... who *used* to rock... now its more of a shuffle...

a ride of his own...

*loves* it.

hog wild...

now that school has started back, my working nights during the week, and charlie going to daycare (which he *loves*) 3 days a week, i don't get to see him as much as i'd like, but we make up for it when we can. i get him up and we play on tuesday and thursday mornings, and we have a big time.

charlie and i had our first annual labor day men's breakfast this past week (at chick-fil-a of course)

charlie had **3** mini chicken biscuits, a fruit cup, part of my chicken biscuit, and 2 milks.
it cost us $9 to eat a fast food breakfast.... and all i had was a chicken biscuit and drink.

he really loves trucks and motorcycles... here he is at our church ...

then on labor day he got to "ride" a harley ("hog") with grandma brenda.

a waltz for my home....

because today, i find myself really missing tennessee...



and because its "...football time in tennessee!!!"

christi's turn

here are some historical/hysterical photos of my bride...

the miracle worker??

a teacher in any era...

*guffaw*

maybe a missed career as a librarian..

helmet hair has never been so gorgeous

*simply stunning*

so many jokes... not enough words...


the object of obsession for many a yuppie...

fun at chuck e. cheese...

christi and i along with "grandma" and "grandpa", took charlie to chuck e. cheese a few weeks ago.

he seemed to like it ok, especially the slide. his favortie part was all of the food on the ground, which i had to keep him from eating.

even after all of that excitement, i still dont think he had as much fun as his mom and grandma did playing skee ball.


"no matter how fast i go..."


"and how hard i try...."


" i cannot get away from these scary teletubbies!"


"my cousin cameron likes barney..."



"so i'll take his word for it"



" its stairs!!" (said like the beggin/bacon strips dog)


makin his way through



oh look... its a little kid zoo..

and just so you know, we made it home safe. he went back to wearing his cowboy hat and diaper just fine
