Thanksgiving 2008

Matt's Birthday

Happy Birthday Honey! Sunday was Matt's 27th birthday. Look at that dedicated Daddy! (Ya know he is getting his hair pulled really hard in this photo! Saturday night, Sean and his friend Erica took us out to an Italian restaurant on 6th avenue... Il Fiasco I think was the name (I could look it up, but I am too tired- sorry!) We enjoyed a bottle of delicious red wine and the softest most delicious bread- oh yeah and the rest of the food was pretty good too. Thanks Sean for the fun night out!

Thanks Daddy for taking this great fall photo!

Charlotte's Corner

When mommy is working in the kitchen, Charlotte can often be found in the corner. And no... it's not becasue she was bad! She has simply adopted this corner and stool as her own little spot.

ROCK a bye Baby

Charlotte loves music... and that makes mommy pretty happy! I have been singing to her since before she was born, so when I see her participate in music in any way I am thrilled! She caught on to the drums quickly, and now bee-lines it to the drum sticks anytime we visit Grandpa Coury. And at Great Grandma and Grandpa Kelsey's there is a piano! Matt and I were shocked to see her sit down at the piano and place all ten fingers on the keys to play! I guess we expected her to poke at the keys one figer at a time or just bang on the keys with her whole hands. Who knows at 19 months what this all could lead to... but nonetheless... I am excited to see her excited to rock it out- drums, piano, or pots & pans!!!

Reading

Charlotte is a funny girl! She will bust out with phrases but the rest of her chatter is still all made up! When she reads it sounds like "ought-ought-ought". Is that we sound like to her when we read??? It is amazing how much she undersrtands, but her forte is not repeating words!

Harvest Party

Thanks to everyone who joined us on Friday! We had a great time and I hope you all enjoyed the chili and treats!
