He Made It!!!

Charlie actually made it to 16!!!

I know...

There were times that we wondered...

as there have been a few bumps and bruises along the way...

sigh...

There were times that we secretly wished for a full body helmet...

seriously...

*grin*

but, thankfully, now our wonderful, sweet, fun little boy...

has turned into a wonderful, sweet and fun big boy...

who drives...  GULP!

and dates...  EEK!

Thank goodness she is so awesome and doesn't like sky diving either...

cause...

for his birthday, Charlie wanted to go sky diving!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Um, we painted his room for him instead...

as we have not yet purchased that full body helmet!

*wink*

Oh my precious Charlie, how I love the way you make others happy without even trying...

the way your enthusiasm is contagious but you never take yourself too seriously...

 the way your impish little 3 year old grin has never left you...

the way you want to be a veterinarian - family/volume discount - riiiiiight...

how I love the way you complain about the noise and the craziness - when you are the cause of most of it!

Bwhahaha

and oh how I love the way you love... faithfully, playfully and loyally.

We get two more years with you at home before unleashing you on the rest of the world...

doesn't seem like nearly enough time...

for me...

or for the rest of the world...

*wink*

Precious Charlie, you are a wonderful combination of coolness, goofiness, sweetness and just the right amount of "chill"!

I love watching as the Lord awakens your awareness of the way in which He can work within you and His perfect plans for you...

which do not include sky diving...

I hope!

We are so proud of you wonderful Charlie

Happy 16th!
