We have been so busy...whomever said summer vacation is a time for relaxing didn't have 2 busy, active boys ages 5 and 2.5. We've had so much happen in the month of June and I feel like I didn't even blog about any of it...so now I'm playing catch up...which means this will be an unbelievably LONG post and I won't hold it against you if you don't stare at your computer for 15 minutes catchin up with the Charles family. So here we go...
*We took a trip to TX to visit friends and attend a family reunion. The kids had a BLAST!! We started our trip in Dallas where we stayed at Great Wolf Lodge{AMAZING}!! Aunt Kristan{Daddy's sister} came from Austin to spend time with her only favorite nephews and niece. Then we headed to East TX{Mt.Pleasant} to spend a wonderful weekend with {Mommy's} extended family. The kids had the BEST time splashing around the lake with their cousins and seeing{meeting} so much family!!
*We returned to CT and we were greeted by Pappy{Daddy's Dad} who drove from MI to visit the kids and to help celebrate London's ONE year birthday!!
*London turned ONE{June 25}!!!
*Daddy and Mommy celebrated their 10 year anniversary{June 26}...WOW 10 WHOLE YEARS of marriage!! We were able to escape this CRAZY house for an evening out with wonderful friends!!
*The Friday before London's birthday, Uncle John{Daddy's uncle} flew from a business trip in FL to help celebrate London's ONE year birthday!!
*We had a wonderful party for London with all of her friends and their siblings.
*Tuesday Pappy and Uncle John drove back to MI and we began to get ready for more family to arrive!
*Wednesday Uncle Leo{Daddy's brother} and Aunt Jenny arrived from OR. They got to meet sweet London for the FIRST time. We enjoyed several days with them before they left{July 4} to go celebrate Independence Day in Boston and then return back to OR.
Now things are S L O W L Y starting to get back to normal. The kids are finally back to realizing mom is about as exciting as it gets. But luckily they have a lot of activities to keep them busy...Easton had golf camp all last week and now he has soccer camp all this week. Waylon is turning into a fearless fish with his swim lessons and is doing a great job! And London well, she's working on cutting her two top teeth and just being a ONE year old{trying to walk, talk and find her place in this CRAZY family}.
I also want to ask for prayers for Easton...he will be seeing a pediatric surgeon tomorrow morning to have a Branchial Cleft Cyst examined. After I noticed a mass in his collar bone area, I took him to London's ONE year check-up and had the Dr. check it quickly. After consulting with another Dr. and speaking with an ENT it was decided he needed to see a pediatric surgeon , it is something that will more than likely have to be surgically extracted. But just say a prayer for him and us as we decide what to do.
Much Love!!
