The Cover (Wow) is, surprise...surprise...a huge letter "B" with each student's picture on the cover. (Now that is brave!)

My BABY is getting BIG!!! :(

Charlie is getting very big! He likes to 'help' to Fred. Last week they mowed the grass together {I think it took about 2.5 hours}. Charlie was a GREAT helper!! {Grin}.

Best Friends

Carrie Beth has lots of good friends. She is a great playmate and when the girls get together they play for hours without a word. I love to have CB's friends over to our house!


Carrie Beth and Hope have been great friends (BFF) since Kindergarten. CB and Hope love to play together. They have another BFF (Louise not pictured) the three of them get along like three peas in a pod.

Silly faces

Don't even ask me how CB enjoyed cheer leading this year. Ha! Love, Nicole

What did Charlie do while I was at Book Club?

Charlie has enjoyed lots of time roller blading while I was at book club! Our new neighbors have 2 children Jacob and Grace. Charlie loves to play with them. Their Mom, Jainie, took them for a walk and Charlie wore his roller blades. So this is what he came home with...

elbow
...shoulder

Charlie is rough and tough! He is very proud that he did not cry. He finished his walk with his friends. All is well that ends well! Love, Nicole

Book Club April 2009

We had a lot of fun at book club this month! This was the first time that I had been in about 2-3 years. It had been too long and I am glad to be back! On the first Friday night of each month a group of girls get together to fellowship, eat, and discuss a book. This month we discussed Carrie Fisher's memoir. Everyone thought it was pretty good. Personally, I found this book to be really sad.

It was great to catch up with my friends. Everyone had exciting news. Jan and Terri's kids are going to Carolina. Melissa is ranked 2 in her class! Go Melissa! AND, Heather is expecting her first child. Wow! We are going to have a lot of fun conversations over the next few months. Thanks, for welcoming me back to book club. I love you, girls!
