While Jason and I were relaxing, enjoying time with friends and family and even (gasp!) taking a couple afternoon naps (I sometimes wonder if I'm not more cut out to be a lady of leisure, but anyway...) Charlie was running and jumping and laughing and screaming and riding and hopping and swimming and sliding, all while bonding with sweet Lakely and his cousins Landon, Ellie, Mallory & Alexis, under the watchful, if extraordinarily lenient, eyes of Mommy, Daddy, BaBa, PaPa, Uncle Stephen, Aunt Ashley, Nana & Grandad (an additional set of grandparents, care of Landon), Uncle Chris & Aunt Tara.
And yes, we spoiled him rotten, let him get away with murder, catered to his every whim, completely disregarded the schedule and had an absolutely fabulous time. Yesterday he was too wiped out to completely show the effects of our laissez faire parenting, but I'm sure his teachers are paying for it today...sorry, Ladies!
