The tradition continues!

There is no better way to spend a gorgeous Saturday then at Compass Lake with your family.  My grandparents built this lake house, and now a 4th generation has had the opportunity to sink there toes into the "healing" waters.  I have so many memories at the lake and it has been my favorite place to vacation and spend time with family since I was a little girl.  From the looks of it, Charlie has fallen in love with the lake as well.

Side note from Charlie: 

Dear Dad, 

I hate that you could not be at the lake with us this past weekend, but I decided to go ahead and start making my first birthday list.  So far, I have boat.  Missed you!

Love Charlie

Pool Party!

Spring has sprung here in Auburn, AL...or at least for the weekend.  I went ahead and gave Charlie his pool, which I had purchased to go in his Easter basket, but we really wanted to spend the day outside.  Charlie LOVES the water, and what I thought would be a good 30 minutes of entertainment, turned into a full day outside!  Does he look like he had a good time?

A Day at the Park!

After taking a 2 month accidental hiatus from the blogging world, I am back!  So many things have happened over the past few months that deserve blogs of their own...so I am going to start today by posting pictures of our trip to the park, and gradually catch up on the life changing moments that I have missed.  Just a little taste...Rich and I are expecting another little boy, William Wilson, on June 30, and I have started a new job.  Charlie is ALL over the place and about 2 seconds away from walking on his own.  See...you have missed out on a lot!  Here are a few pictures of our trip to the park today.  Charlie loves to swing, and I did not realize how much he LOVES playing in the sand.  It was such a sweet moment to watch him exploring in the sand, because he has not been to the beach since he was about 4 months old (he did manage to eat two hand fulls of sand while we played).  How quickly we forget about the beautiful, little things nature has to offer in our hectic everyday lives.
