Day 138, 6-21-10

Chuck and Ernie playing. You can see how big Ernie's feet are here. He has 7 toes on each of his front feet.

Day 137, 6-20-10

Today Lauren left for camp. She is gone for SIX weeks. I am going to miss her! The first time she went to camp Marc took her to the bus and she cried. Not so much now.

Although she did get tired of me taking her picture!

Then my father in law came over for dinner, which was very yummy ribs Marc made in the smoker.

Day 136, 6-19-10

Chuck, Nana, and I went to Lilly's fourth birthday party. We got there a little early and Chuck got a chance to play in the water before all the bigger kids got there!

Day 135, 6-18-10

Test driving the recliners at the firehouse.

Day 134, 6-17-10

I love that Chuck takes his plate in when he is done. A little scary when I don't pay attention and have given him a real plate!

This is how Chuck feels about going shopping:

Day 133, 6-16-10

I just love this picture. Daughter reading and tickling Chuck's back at the same time. And Chuck was loving every second of it.

Day 132, 6-15-10

Tonight Marc and I went to the Cardinals game and sat in the all-inclusive Bank Of America Club. Food was good, as were the seats. I am not happy that there was cilantro on the ribs, though!

Day 131, 6-14-10

Today I took 2 16 year olds and a 19 month old to the ballgame by myself. The girls were great so it was a lot easier than I expected it to be! We even stayed to the very end!

The sun setting over the stadium

Day 130, 6-13-10

This is what I get when Chuck sees me pull the camera out. Lovely, huh?

Day 129, 6-12-10

He finally learned how to open all five of the little pop ups! That one where you have to turn it was tricky!

Day 128, 6-11-10

Day 127, 6-10-10

Yummy brandy sour in a glass Marc got for Father's Day last year.

Day 126, 6-9-10

Chuck loving on Cardinal Bear at Nana's house:

Day 125, 6-8-10

Chuck watching a storm roll through.

Day 124, 6-7-10

Today I didn't have my camera out much. I took the teenager shopping for supplies for her kayaking trip and then my friend L and I took her daughter to the park.

Day 123, 6-6-10

I used to be fascinated with how Chuck kept his toys separate. He never used the pieces from one toy to play with another. Well, that has changed. Today he experimented with what pieces he could put through the holes of his ball popper. So those are pieces from his shape-sorter in the tray!

Day three at the pool...again a great time.

Day 122, 6-5-10

Day two at the pool went much better. Chuck was loving the baby pool and did not cling to me the whole time. Yay!

Day 121, 6-4-10

Today Marc and I took Chuck to our neighborhood pool for the first time. It took him a while to enjoy the baby pool. Eventually he did let go of me and splash around in the fountain. Then I took him into the big (cold) pool and he was not a fan.

Day 120, 6-3-10

Today Marc and I took Chuck to the Magic House.

Here is Chuck throwing himself down the slide.

And here is the two of them with their hair sticking up. Chuck did not enjoy the wait in line or the whole hair-raising experience.

Day 119, 6-2-10

He conquered the stone stairs all by himself. Yikes!

Ok, this outfit doesn't "go," but the t-shirt was a gift and is so darn cute I had to put it on him. My Cub fan husband does not approve. LOL.

Day 118, 6-1-10

This is my son watching tv. Lovely.
