What a week....

this has been. Juli and Dan had us over for dinner and so the kiddos could play on Saturday night. It was a ton of fun. Charli was scared of their dog Ted for a while. Mind you Ted is probably smaller than our cat Jezebel. And after an hour or so, Charli was even playing with Emily and Louie. It was great to see. By Monday morning a stomach flu virus hit our house. Charli did a projectile puke all over herself, me and the couch just before we were to leave for work. Needless to say we didn't go to work. She threw up once more but turned the corner and was fine by 2:00PM. I on the other hand had a fever of 101 all afternoon. By Tuesday we were both fine and off to work.

Today was swimming lessons day. I think Charli is turing into a fish. She didn't cry until we hit the locker room. She didn't really cry it was more of a wimper. We then got changed and headed to the water. She kind of did the wimper cry for the first part of class. But even the instructor noticed how she instinctually relaxed in the water and did what she should. And he heard her say, "ball" during class. (hard to convince us that you don't like it if you want to play with the ball). Again we stayed after class and played. She was actually going in face first to reach the toys. She didn't want to leave. I am thrilled.

I also want to let you know that the appearance of my blog may be changing. Juli has been taking photography classes and playing with all kinds of photo software. She recently changed her family blog and it looks fabulous. She's offered to re-do/update mine. I of course accepted this as I have never been thrilled with the appearance but it served a greater purpose. This blog does not just keep my family and friends across the country updated, it also serves as the story of Charlotte. I can't wait to have this page look more like us. Thanks, Juli!!!
