Grandparents

After much anticipation, we are so happy to finally have all of Charlie's grandparents in town!  Last week Grandma Patti and Grandpa John moved from Mondovi, WI, where Aaron grew up and they have lived for the past 25 years, to the Como Park neighborhood of St. Paul.  They purchased a beautiful two story cape cod style home just blocks from Como Lake, the zoo, and Snuffy's Malt Shop, all things I know we will have many fun times at with Charlie as he continues to grow.  Grandma Linda welcomed them to Minnesota with an invitation to Sunday night dinner their first weekend in town and I took the opportunity to snap a picture of Charlie with all of his grandparents, what a lucky boy!

Water Baby

One of Charlie's favorite things right now is playing in the water, whether it's in the bath tub, kitchen sink, at the beach or in a pool, he just gets so excited about it!  He has recently splashed around in the zero-depth pool in Highland Park, a Minneapolis community pool with daycare, and twice this summer we have had the opportunity to swim at Aunt Carol and Uncle Dave's house.  This last time was a family party with cousins, aunts, and Great Grandma Pete!  We had a beautiful day filled with lots of sunshine, food, and happy kids!!
