Charlie is Smiling!

Charlie is smiling and cooing and has become quite the little charmer! A friend took these awesome pics at Joseph's ball game. It was the first day it has been warm enough (and not too windy) to let him be outside.

Baseball Season

Joseph is finishing up baseball season and we have had so much fun watching him play. He managed to letter in three sports this year! The little girls got matching short and sassy haircuts this week. It is so much better suited for their hair (and me!) Drew lost another tooth and the big girls are counting down for our trip to LA.

Charlie's Baptism

Charles Titus Ogea was baptized Sunday the 20th of April. It was a beautiful ceremony and his Godfather, Father Stan Pieczara was able to get another priest to officiate so he could hold him during the actual baptism! My good friend Becky stood in for my Aunt Cathy, who is his Godmother. I am also including another pic of Em's confirmation.

Emily's Confirmation

Emily was confirmed last night! Here is a pic of her sponsor, and friend, Ellen with her on her big day. Nee Nee and Pawpee came to see confirmation and Charlie's baptism which is tonight. Look for more pics tomorrow!

Growing, Growing!

It is pretty incredible to watch how fast babies grow, Charlie is holding his head up so well, smiling, and cooing. We are having so much fun with him!

Ramie has become our official baby rocker...she is the one we turn to when it is "fussy time"m She sings him "See Saw, See Saw..." and he always calms down.

Baby Charlie

Baby Charlie, as he is affectionately referred to, just keeps getting cuter and cuter!

Easter in Illinois

Charlie with Emily, Grandpa, Summier, Samuel, and Uncle Scott.

Emily, Charlie and I took our very first train ride and surprised Grammy and Grandpa for Easter! Charlie met all of the Fultons and we had a wonderful time. We were also able to be there for Tyler, Tori and Summier as they were welcomed into the Catholic faith through Baptism and Confirmation!
