I bet I could fit in there

This past weekend Charlotte has been experimenting with
"spatial relationships." ;)

Mmmmm, babies. Delicious.

Look Mom! I fit in here too.

We're walking!

I've been meaning to post about this for a couple of weeks now- but we've been so busy with other things. Charlotte can walk! :) Rob tricked her into taking a few steps independently at my mom's house about 3 weeks ago. She worked on her technique a lot while we were on vacation. And now she's ready to show the world!

Kuh-rah-luh

We spent this past week at Corolla in the Outer Banks. We had a great time going to the beach, swimming in the pool, lounging in the hot tub, watching movies, shooting pool, riding bikes, being tourists, and even using the gym from time to time! Here are a few snapshots from our summer vacation. ;)




Rob and Charlotte outside the Elizabethan Gardens on Roanoke Island. We went there to see the lost colony- the English settlement at Roanoke that disappeared... but, umm, nobody knows exactly where it is because it's lost.


The Wright brothers memorial at Kitty Hawk. We took our kite and flew it from the top of the hill. We also enjoyed the museum and learning about the first airplane flights.

I don't know why I'm standing on my toes in this picture... just something I tend to do when standing next to Rob. ;)



Charlotte didn't "enjoy" the sand and waves but she tolerated them okay. She did like looking for seashells though and we brought home her favorite ones. It was awesome to have the beach to ourselves! And while there was a lot of talk about Gabrielle, we had gorgeous weather with hardly a drop of rain all week.


Charlotte REALLY liked swimming in the pool. She would stand on the step and hold my hands and jump off into the "deep" water and kick her legs! By the end of the week she even put her face in the water to "blow bubbles." (Although I'm pretty sure she was just trying to drink the pool.)





Gee, I wonder who wrote that in the sand!


On our way home we decided to make a detour to Colonial Williamsburg. I had never been there before and was curious about it. We only walked around for a couple of hours but it seems like a pretty neat place. We'll have to go back when Charlotte is a bit older I think. This is Rob and Charlotte standing in front of the Governor's Mansion.

Tag

Lindsay "tagged" me in this game.

The rules:
A. List 7 habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag 7 people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag whoever wants to do it.

Hmmm, let's see...

1. When I was in high school, I would look for the Orion constellation at night and blow him kisses.
2. I just got a part-time job as a tutor.
3. I guarantee that I know more about Nascar than you do. (Unless you are my dad.)
4. I make really awesome oatmeal raisin cookies... seriously.
5. I once held Huey Lewis' grammy for "The Heart of Rock & Roll" while his manager "brought the car around." She gave me a BYU brownie.
6. Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) and his twin brother were in my freshman ward at BYU.
7. In high school I was published as one of Pennsylvania's best young poets. I won a savings bond.

I tag... Rob, Tom A., Becca A., Brandy, Kendra, Kat and Kristen J.

busy days

Allen has left the hospital and has entered rehab! Yay!!! He is getting around in a wheelchair and has two cute girlfriends performing as his personal Florence Nightingales.
I don't know how he does it. ;)



Also, some little picture stories for ya...



We decided to check out a section of Gunpowder Falls State Park. Aside from this cool tree rooted in solid rock, I'm afraid we didn't see much that was impressive. Including waterfalls. Does anyone know if there even are any waterfalls?!?!

Charlotte loves storytime at the library. Charlotte loves puppies. Therfore, no visit to the library is complete without giving Clifford hugs and kisses.

We had a great time at our ward's Labor Day picnic. Rob played petanque with Nate, Garrison and Bro. Fultz.

Charlotte played her own improvised ball game with Ella.

And last, but definitely not least, Charlotte flirted with her favorite beau- Gregory.
