A Blink and a Half

I had the good fortune of being invited to visit with this adorable family yesterday and taking a few photos.  Sweet little Baby Dean is only a month old.  His handsome Big Brother Luke is 3.

They just so happen to be my amazing Daughter-in-Law, Colleen’s, nephews.

Sure reminded me of what seemed like just a blink and a half ago when my two boys were about the same age.

Turns out that blink and a half was 25 years ago…

Seriously?!?!

Don’t blink – ‘cuz just like that…..

Cheers & Hugs,

Jodi

Charlie: Brothers are the Best

Nick & Charlie 1/31/16

When I moved into my new home six months ago, not only did I get a new mom and and dad, I also got two new brothers (and a sister-in-law and a really nice girlfriend).  My brother Nick lives here, and we have sure become buddies.

My brother Jake is married, so he doesn’t live here with us, but I really love when he comes to visit.  I will never forget my first day in my new home.  Jake came over to meet me right away that first day.  He couldn’t wait to meet me, and even though I was very shy back then, I will always remember and appreciate his warm, loving welcome.

Funny to think back those six months ago when I was so afraid and skeptical of people.  My how life has changed.  I now welcome visitors, have lots of friends, and even enjoy sitting with my brother sometimes in the evening while watching television.

Moms and Dads are great, but Brothers….  they sure are the best!

Woofs & Wags,
Charlie
