wardrobe malfunctions

we promise we dress our son... and he looks like such a "little boy" in all of his outfits





sometimes, he will even stay dressed for awhile... (how he knows that the longhaired skinny guy in that picture is me i do not know, but he points right at it and says "da-da!!!)
but sometimes you just have to get comfortable, and nothing says comfortable like a diaper and boots your gran bought you.

or... a diaper, light up tennis shoes, and a lawn mower w/ grandpa harry...(who, before you call child/family services, wants everyone to know that "the blade was not on")

and well... frankly, sometimes we just dont want that new diaper...(at least his feet aren't cold)

like his parents...

charlie is showing signs of sharing two of his parents' great loves- reading and the outdoors...
he has a laundry basket full of books that he loves to "read" and have read to him, and we can hardly keep him indoors... he begs to go outside regularly.

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...

when boredom strikes...
