YUM!

A new discovery! Stella definitely wasn't exposed to lollipops until much later in life. I guess the older ones really do pave the way for the younger siblings! ;)

"Mom, we're hungry!!!" This is the appetizer before dinner on Tuesday night.

Notice the nude theme while dining in our house.

BUSTED!

We're working on using a spoon now...Charlie has found a much more efficient way to eat though...

...just drink it!

Charlie had his 15 month check-up yesterday and all looks good. Despite all the eating, he's slimmed down quite a bit and is only in the 39th percentile for weight at 23 pounds, 13 ounces. He has sprouted like a weed though and is in the 93rd percentile for height at 33 inches! I guess we've lost our middle linebacker and are moving towards power forward! ;) He received 4 shots and was very brave as he screamed in the nurse's face.

As usual, we feel as though time is flying. Summer is coming to a close as Labor Day is this weekend. Nick and Stella are planning a Daddy/daughter/Grandpa weekend in Michigan to sail with Grandpa Robert. We're also getting ready to welcome Grandpa and Grandma Freeman next week for an extended visit while Nick and I get to enjoy a little getaway to Western PA.

I am into my 15th week of pregnancy and am feeling a whole lot better (thankfully). Stella is about to start gymnastics, school and BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) and couldn't be more excited. She is so ready!

We're also especially excited about all the progress that has been happening at Flying Horse Farms...the countdown is on for the first campers to arrive! (See link at side of page) Keep up the great work, Nick!!! We're so proud of you!!!
