Spring Activities - Charlie

Spring was busy for Charlie

He didnt get to compete, but Charlie worked out with the middle school track team. He had a lot of fun getting extra time with his buddies and discovered he enjoys distance running. 


Charlie and Eli


The band played a concert. 

I am so proud of what he has been able to accomplish on the clarinet! So much progress in less than a year of playing. 

Charlie and Nico acolyting together. 

This was his first time to acolyte. He said it wasn't as hard as he thought. 

Charlie was on the Red Sox and had a great baseball team!

His biggest fans were there to see him get a hit that with several errors from the other team resulted in him making it all the way home! So very exciting!

He was proud to get the game ball!

Pops was excited for him too!

That is chocolate cake for the game ball!

He was excited to have the opportunity to try out some different positions. 

Cold and windy weather and Pops is there to cheer him on!

We love to cheer him on!

This boy loves baseball!


His team won Smyrna Little League AAA division! So exciting and such a great feeling for him to be part of a winning team!

Fun to have his buddy Eli on the team!

Thankful for coaches who build character and sports skills!

Victory feels really good for this team!

Of course, he had his cheering squad there!






The dinner during the show was bring your own and Dad packed a fantastic meal for us that included dessert! He helped me so much getting Charlie there for rehearsal and coming back for me so that I could finish my work day. 


Charlie's last time in the lower school uniform! End of an era to have no more plaid!

It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Cloth vs. Disposable

We have mostly been planning to do disposable diapers because I felt that cloth would just be too much work when I go back to work.  Then, we saw these diapers called happy heiny's ( www.happyheinys.com ).  These looked much different than what I envisioned cloth diapers to look like.  Mom used cloth diapers with me and Jeanne', so she felt totally up for using them while Sarah Graves is at her house.  I started looking into the cost comparison and depending on what type of cloth diapers you buy, you can save anywhere from $1200 - $1700.  That is pretty attractive, not to mention knowing that you aren't filling up a landfill somewhere.  There are lots of different varieties of cloth diapers out there, but the ones that seem to be a good investment and user friendly are diapers that have snap closures, with a pocket for an insert to absorb the contents, and they are one size that adjusts as your baby grows from a newborn up to 35 pounds.  You can also purchase the traditio
