Charlie's Birthday

Here's a post and some photos from my wife:

Happy birthday to my fun, spunky eight year old! He wants to be a zoologist when he grows up, and he will spout animal facts to anybody who will listen. His specialty is snakes, and despite his desperate pleas, he did NOT get one for his birthday (he did get the leather jacket he asked for). He makes friends wherever he goes. He’s nearly worn out his Chuck Taylors, and he’s been sleeping in his closet fort for over two months. I cherish our story time together at night and our run/bike adventures. We love you, buddy!!

A massive "ho-ho" ripoff from Kowalskis.


Davanni's pizza for supper (in the hammock under the tree house).




An afternoon at the zoo with Mama as I took Henry to baseball practice and got groceries.






He loves using chopsticks. My wife found someone on Etsy who carved Charlie's name into a pair.


Treats from his aunt.


Bruce snuggles in his closet/bed.

Happy EIGHT, big guy!!
