Day 144, 5-23-12

Brother-sister love at dinner:

Day 143, 5-22-12

Yup,  this is where all stickers go.

Day 142, 5-21-12

Today was Chuck's last day of school.  Here he is in 
the same shorts and shirt on the first and then the 
last day.  Look how much he has grown!


Chuck carrying his brother.  Terrifying.

Day 141, 5-20-12

Cruising as usual!

Day 140, 5-19-12

Took Lew's 9 month snapshots today.

Day 139, 5-18-12

The boys and I went to visit Daddy at the firehouse 
today.

Day 138, 5-17-12

Day 137, 5-16-12

So tired he conked out in the cart at Dollar Tree.  
This could NOT have been comfortable.

Day 136, 5-15-12

My beautiful daughter graduated high school today.  
I cannot believe she is so grown up.

Day 135, 5-14-12

Chuck is a bit obsessed with going under bridges.  
So when his class took a field trip to the 
playground,  he spent the morning going under the 
bridges.  Again and again and again....

Day 134, 5-13-12

Bored teen + adoring little brother = 

Day 133, 5-12-12

Chuck and I spent most of today under here.  Did 
most of the same things we do on a day to day 
basis,  but somehow everything is more awesome in 
a fort.

Day 132, 5-11-12

What a treat....lounging in bed with my big boy.  

Day 131, 5-10-12

This is what success in pooping on the potty will 
get you....a chance to play with the iPad.  
And relax,  apparently.

Day 130, 5-9-12

Surrounded by baby toys and what does he play with?  Chuck's pants and underwear and Mommy's headband.

Day 129, 5-8-12

Yes,  I married my father. We now have a kegerator 
(actually a keezer) in our home.


And just because I love the sunglasses on 
top of his head....

Day 128, 5-7-12

Chuck took just about every baby toy he could find 
and loaded them up in his stroller.  I guess that is 
one way to make sure Lew can't play with them!

Day 127, 5-6-12

Day 126, 5-5-12

Today was a busy day.  Lew and I had swim lessons 
in the morning.  Then Grandpa came over and we 
went to lunch and then to the park.  Then L and I 
got our nails done.  Then Lauren's date arrived and 
we followed the prom-goers to Forest Park where 
they met up with friends for pictures.  Then Marc 
and I went out to dinner.  Then we watched the 
Muppet movie.  Seriously busy and wonderful 
day!!!

Day 125, 5-4-12

Such a happy baby!

Day 124, 5-3-12

Today Marc and I took the boys to the park for a 
picnic.  Lew had his first ever experience in a swing 
and Chuck found some boys to run around with.

Day 123, 5-2-12

Lew,  post-spaghetti.


Chuck,  being Chuck in his hat.  

Day 122, 5-1-12

Tonight was Lauren's last choir concert of her high 
school career.  At the end the teacher calls the 
seniors up one at a time and says something about 
each.  And each senior gets a flower.  Lauren 
looked a little choked up here.  I was bawling,  of 
course.

Day 121, 4-30-12

Chuck got a new hat.  He loves it and has even slept in it.

Day 120, 4-29-12

Went to the baseball game today.  

Day 119, 4-28-12

CRAZY hail storm today.  Marc and I ended up in 
the basement of St. Louis Bread Co. (Panera for my 
non-St. Louis friends,  LOL)  Then I surveyed my 
car.  Tons of dings and dents on it.  And here are a 
couple pics.

Day 118, 4-27-12

Chuck "feeding" his doll.  Love it!

Day 117, 4-26-12

Chuck loves his big sister.  I am always amused 
when Chuck decides to move his games into her 
room.  Here is my teen being a teen and my 3 year 
old being 3.  LOL.

Day 116, 4-25-12

Action shot of swim class today.  Again he loved it!

Day 115, 4-24-12

Standing AND starting to cruise.  Slow down,  Lew!!!
