Noah Schwab's Birthday

Marc and Charlie met Noah and his dad at the pool this summer, and Noah and Charlie became friends (and so did the dads!) So we were thrilled to join the Schwabs for Noah's 5th birthday party in October.

Also at the party was Noah Lee, one of Charlie's soccer friends who is in school with Noah Schwab.

All the kids wore their Halloween costumes to the party and had a lot of fun decorating pumpkins.

Then it was time for tag, with Marc as the monster chasing everyone.

After tag, it was cake time!

Happy Birthday Noah!

Nationals Game

One of my co-workers had some extra Nationals tickets, so we jumped at the chance to take the whole family!

We had a great time, and lasted through the 7th inning.  But the kids' favorite part was the food.

Charlie's FIrst Day of School

Charlie's first day of school was also his 5th birthday!  I had a hard time that morning, looking at my big boy and wondering where the years had gone.

And on our first day, we almost missed the bus! We learned that when  they say 9:10 for pick up, that means anywhere between 9:00a and 9:15a.

And there he goes. . .

Charlie's Birthday Party

This year, we had Charlie's Birthday Party at SkyZone - a place full of trampolines.  And for the second year, we had a Star Wars theme, but went with Lego Star wars this time.

Rosie was excited to get to jump, and so was the birthday boy!

Grandma Dot and Papa Kirby came up for the fun, too.

Lots of Charlie's friends from Pre-K joined us, along with a few friends from the neighborhood.

And then they got to jump!

Followed by pizza and birthday cupcakes
