Family ties

Guess who this is? Not Charlotte, as many have assumed as this has been hanging on our refridgerator, but in fact is baby Matt in 1983. I guess we know who she looks like now! (Kristi has shuffled through many of her own baby pictures, looking for any sign of resemblance, but has so far been unsuccessful...)

Charlotte's kissing face--bottom lip sticking out.

She loves her swing...ok, not so much in this moment of fussing. But she actually does love it hanging in our sunroom, and rides in it at least once a day.

What more could a lady ask for than a purse and a dolly?! She always carries the purse like that, with the strap long and her arm up in the air to keep the strap on. She gets really mad if you try to help her with it.

Our little mechanic, working on her car.

Carving a pumpkin!

Helping scoop out the seeds.

This is Skeletor on Halloween. (Skeletor was from the cartoon "He-man") Her shirt was glow-in-the-dark. Grandma Cindy and Auntie Kate got it for her, figuring that as the daughter of two med students she could get away with wearing it at times other than Halloween.

For Halloween we went to Grandma Carol Ann's and Grandpa Randy's to help pass out candy and spend some time with them. Charlotte loved helping to answer the door and seeing all of the kids in costumes. She also loved playing with the candy in their crinkly wrappers. Lucky for us she doesn't know what's inside of them!
