Only at Walmart

I just solved Charlie's summer wardrobe problem...

Apparently the slogan for these diapers is

"the coolest you'll ever look pooping your pants"

Day at the Zoo

In case you've been wondering what we're up to lately... just trying to avoid getting eaten by the tigers and bears!

Christmas has come early!

I love iced coffee.  I love it so much it's on my short list of favorite joys in life.  If I were Maria Von Trap, I'd list it right before brown paper packages tied up with string.  Sometimes I make coffee just so it will get cold.  Last summer as I was standing in line at the Starbucks I saw the newest reusable cup for iced coffee.  It looked just like their disposable cups, which I use three or four times before dumping.  Feeling frugal, I passed up the last one in the crate.  A few days later I returned with remorse, but to my dismay it was gone.  I didn't give it much thought at the time, but found myself dreaming of this cup several times over the winter.  I actually googled it one day and found several for sale on Amazon & Ebay for $70!  They called the cup the 'tickle me elmo' of 2009'.  Anyway, today on my way out of Target I glanced into the Starbucks & like a beacon from heaven, THERE THE WERE!!  The geniuses at Starbucks re-issued the cups, which had am impact on the on-line sellers, because now they are selling for only $30! Life is good!

More like Grandpa Holden than we thought...

Since the moment he was born everyone thought Charlie looked like his Grandpa Holden. Turns out there are a few more resemblences that we had initially thought. If you know Grandpa, you know that this is his favorite napping position... hopefully Charlie doesn't develop the wall-shaking snore.
