An explanation of sorts...

Some of our most avid readers (and by this I of course mean Jason and my mom...) have been "wondering" about the fact that Charlie updates have been so few and far between lately. 

Ummmm....well...I don't really have a good reason. 

It's not that there is nothing to write about...Charlie is interested in and learning so many new things, and we're doing lots of fun stuff with our friends.  He's started football.  He's learning to ride his bike.  He's learning to read.  We've started a new church.  He's drawing a lot....and of course, he's still talking just as much as ever.

So maybe that's it.  We're spending so much time going from little boy to big boy that I'm just too worn out to write about it?  What can I say - the more fun we have the less time I have to type it all up. 

I am overjoyed that Jason and I decided to skip preschool and have Charlie home one more year, and as much as I know he'll be more than ready for the structure and socialization of kindergarten next year, I'm already beginning to miss him...So don't be surprised if the updates remain sparse -- I need to soak in as much of my "big boy" as I can before I have to share him with the world.
