The Wiggles Weekend

Well...Charlie has seen The Wiggles Live! We went to Memphis Saturday morning just so our little boy could see his favorite guys. He was loving it!! It was too cute to watch his little eyes light up and to see him dance or try to sing their song. Chuck bought him memorabilia to bring home and anytime you try to take it away from him it's like the world is ending. Hopefully they'll be near again next year so we can take him again. It was all worth it. Charlie was so...tired that once we all fell asleep the smoke alarm went off at the hotel for 15 minutes. Did my son wiggle?? Not an inch. That's Chuck's son alright. We came back Sunday and we are still worn out!! I'll post some pictures once I have the energy to do so.

The weather for the past couple of days has been BEAUTIFUL!! Charlie is absolutely loving it! He could live outside I think. We will be leaving to go to Memphis this weekend to see The Wiggles. I keep telling him, "Charlie, are you ready to see The Wiggles?" He just looks at me like, "what are you talking about?" I don't think he is understanding what's going to happen in a few days. I can't wait to see how he reacts to all of this.

Everyday, he says more and more. It's so exciting to hear him talk and have somewhat of a conversation with him, but on the other hand it is so depressing! My baby boy is growing up too fast to suit me! Before I know it, he'll be starting Kindergarten and that will flash by so quick I just won't know what to do.

Bailey just got over being very ill for the past week. She has passed her germs to her father and now he is miserable. I just hope he'll be able to make it this weekend. I am shocked that Charlie hasn't gotten it yet. (Knock on wood) It'll be just my luck that he'll start feeling ewie on Friday. Or maybe even me. That's just what I need. We'll just take it one day at a time.

Valentine's Day

This past Wednesday was Valentine's. Charlie had his school party and brought Valentine's cards and candy to all of his little friends. He brought gifts for his teachers as well. Both of them received the "Willow Tree" collection "Thank you" angels. They have really made a difference in his life. They are such good teachers. He loves them so much. Chuck and I didn't go out for our Valentine's that evening. It's just so hard to do it with everyone out to celebrate. So we have decided to celebrate this evening. YEA!! Dinner and a movie. I know to some of you that doesn't sound very exciting but when the children come into your lives that's like going to Fiji. Ok, maybe not that extreme but for those who have children, you know what I mean.

I got my ears pierced last night. I had them pierced at a tattoo parlor. YIKES! I was a nervous wreck. It wasn't at all bad!! I've had my ears pierced twice before about 20 years ago but they got so infected and the posts that they used had lots of nickel in it and of course with my luck, my skin didn't like it very much. So, I thought I would do something different the third time around. Why not? So far so good. Now let's try to keep Charlie from pulling and tugging on them.

This weekend is the start of Vietnamese New Year's. I believe it's the year of the Pig. We're not doing much to celebrate. My mom sent us a traditional Vietnamese outfit for Charlie to wear on Sunday. I'll take lots of pics to show him off.

Next weekend, we are taking Charlie to Memphis to go and see The Wiggles LIVE! I just hope he doesn't pee in his pants from excitement!! He is probably THE BIGGEST FAN EVER!!! He knows their songs and dances...it's too cute to watch his little face light up everytime he sees or hears them. I know he won't remember a lot of this...but I will!!

That pretty much wraps it up for now. Until next time...

This is my beautiful family during Christmas 2006. Aren't my boys handsome?
