Labor Day is Family Time


This weekend, which was Labor Day, we actually did some traveling. Yes, Donna, we were on the roads of America. Was it because there was no work at home to do? NO. There is always work to be done at home, because I can find lots of other things to do and so the work is always hanging around. We were at Charlotte's blessing in Idaho.

We were also enjoying the cool weather. Such a nice change from Las Vegas. During the blessing, Charlotte didn't utter a peep. She looked beautiful and so well behaved. She is such a cutie. She has plump little cheeks and is a real smiler. Look closely at the photo and you will see Charlotte and Chas have the same cheeks. She loves smiling whenever you pay attention to her. While being held by everyone at home later, she would listen for her mother's voice. I wonder if babies keep track of their families at this young age of two months. Somehow she is patient with all of us adults and older cousins who get to hold her. We all love to hold her and feed her the bottle. I know she will change and become a normal little girl, but right now she is a little angel.


Of course, we took pictures. It is hard to get all the children together. Let alone look the same direction. That seems to make the picture all the more real. A happy day.

  1. I am so proud of you for traveling on Labor Day! Charlotte is so adorable and chunky like her brother. I got to hold a 9 mo old tonite and it was heaven.

  2. I've seen these Charlotte blessing pictures like a hundred times now, but I still can't get over how beautiful she is. All our kids were like that, but I forget. I need to get out the baby books and look at my babies again.

  4. We loved having you both here. I know Bonnie & Chas loved playing with Grandma & Grandpa. Thanks for being at the blessing. I love the first photo - we really can't get us to all look in the same direction every. I guess there are some funny pics in our future.
