hume lake....

A couple weeks ago we were blessed with the chance to spend the weekend at the Moore's cabin at Hume Lake. We were sort of invited/invited ourselves but it was completely worth it. It was Charleigh's first snow experience and she had a wonderful time. The Cove family was wonderful company and the kids got along really well. I really enjoyed myself, even with the infamous snowball incident that started the trip. Just kidding. It really was great to spend time with friends in such a beautiful environment.....

starving kid....

Let's flashback a bit. On New Year's Eve we had plans for a game night at some friends' house. Charleigh was going to spend the night with Josh's parents and on our way to dinner we called to check on her. The progress report? She has thrown up six times.

Six times??? Are you serious?

So, scratch our plans. Let's go get the baby. And yes, she was quite sick. You know the one. The stomach bug that allows your child to reject any and all food she may try to eat. That was Wednesday night. She ate really nothing on Thursday and as of Friday morning she was still not keeping anything down.

But she was asking for food.

My mom and I felt sorry for her so we made her some toast Friday afternoon. Literally one piece of bread with spray butter on it. So pathetic. Even more pathetic? These pictures where she is actually licking the plate trying to get the last morsels of crumbs and butter overspray. Poor starving child.......

a visit from granny....

Some of Josh's family from up north recently came to visit. It was so much fun to see everyone. We haven't seen them since Charleigh was like 3 months old. His grandma stayed down here for about a week and then his aunt, uncle, and cousin's family were here for the weekend. We always have such a good time with them. We played lots of zilch. Talked a bunch. Ate a whole bunch. Hopefully we won't go as long between visits this time....

JoAnne, Boston, Aunt Shirley.....everytime she kissed him,

he would automatically close his one eye.....it was terribly adorable

the grandkids...well, the ones present anyway

Josh's cousin Joey, his wife Karen, and their daughter Sabrina

I love that Charleigh got to spend this time with Grandma.

Watching Josh with his grandma made me love him even more....
