4 weeks old already? Where did the time go?
Charlotte at a Memorial Day picnic at the Carlberg's House. She sat with Uncle Jerico and experienced what may be her first beer-but it definitely won't be her last.
Liz and Anna meeting Carissa and Charlotte in Baltimore. Doesn't Charlotte look a giant?
More babies- this time meeting up with Brandy and Delaney in Strasburg
Lock up your sons....look at these 5 hot L-S girls
Looks like Anna is covering her ears-Charlotte may just have ripped one of her patented super loud farts. It was Anna's fault for pulling that right arm.
Sorry for the long time between updates. I don't really know who I'm apologizing to, because I am fairly certain my mother is the only person who really reads this blog. So, sorry mom. We have had a ridiculously busy few weeks. Charlotte has passed a number of milestones including turning 4 and 5 weeks. Although, she still can't walk and cries a lot. We went to a memorial day picnic and hung out with a number of residents. We then decided kind of last minute to drive up to Strasburg to see "Grammy Wimer" and "Grampy Dougy". While, we were in PA we got to meet up with a number of Carissa's aunts, uncles, friends, and family friends. We had a a picnic for Charlotte on Saturday and it was quite a hit. She received a number of generous outfits and gift cards which we want to thank everybody for. We then went over to Marietta, PA to go to Andrea Diller's birthday party (Happy Bday again). We got to see her house, and meet up with Sara and Meghan which was great.
On Sunday, we went to a party at Carissa family friends Lou and Kathy's house. It was a great time, they hand a band and a cooked an entire pig. We hung out for the afternoon and then shot down to meet up with Liz and Steve (my co-resident and fellow Daddy) down in Baltimore, Md. We got to see their new addition Anna Miller Tropello who came into the world about one month before expected. She is doing great and has already been home for a few days and we just couldn't get over how tiny and cute she was. All of a sudden we felt like Charlotte was enormous after seeing Anna. We hung out there until early evening and then came home to Virginia and Charlotte got to experience the Crap-tastic wonder that is the D.C. Beltway. We made it safely through the first 2/3 of the trip until we got hung up in Orange County, VA. I, being a moron, got picked up for going way too fast on some rinky dinky road. My lovely copilot in the car and life had crawled to the backseat to pump and my precious baby was sleeping. Unfortunately Carissa put "the goods" away and Charlotte stayed well behaved, so neither could get me out of the ticket. Fortunately, I did not get a reckless driving (Go me!) and we were home right around midnight. It felt great to be back. Now we are all just getting ready for vacation to the Outer Banks in a week. Charlotte is currently doing a fairly rigorous P90X ab routine with hopes of fitting into her first bikini by next friday.
P.S. I almost forgot to mention the coolest part. As you all know Strasburg, PA is the Amish capital of the USA. This is mostly awesome but occasionally can be disastrous. As Jackie was minding her own business getting into her car a run away buggy came racing down the road with no Amish driver. The horse decided to jump the curb at the last minute and run up on the sidewalk and ran into Carissa's mother. Thankfully, Jackie was alright and just got spun around by the horse and then her arm hit the buggy. She did have some bruises and her car had a great deal of body damage to the passenger side. But the real mystery is what made the horse jump up on the curb and come barreling down on Jackie Groff? Maybe this picture below sheds some light on what the horse saw while it was running.
Hope all is going well for all who are reading (AKA mom)
