Orange and Blue Game

Our family had a great day at the UF Orange and Blue Spring game. The crowd was a new record at 65,000. Charlie was proud to be teaching his kids about the love he has for Gator football. Ella Kate shouted "Go Gators" to the fans on our way to the stadium and watched the cheerleaders and tried to emmulate their every move at the game. Lucy loved the game so much she took a nap. It was a great family adventure. Check out the pictures here

Atlanta Tax Day Tea Party

Charlie and I could not sit idly by anymore and let our government spend and tax us without regard. We joined 15,000-20,000 others at the Atlanta Tax Day Tea Party to take a stand. Please inform yourself on the outrageous deviations from our Constitution that are being made today. Teach your children and those around you the truths about Capitalism and Federalism and how they are being undermined today by those who seek power over freedom.

Easter

This was Ella's first Easter where she began to understand that Jesus died on the cross for her sins and how special it is that He is risen! It is exciting to see God working in her life to draw her to Him. She was also very excited to help pick out her sister's Easter basket, dye eggs, hunt eggs, eat eggs and eat candy!! Our family had a wonderful time on Saturday with our friends from church at an egg hunt and picnic dinner at a local cattle farm. It was a beautiful location and each of us enjoyed the time so much. Sunday we worshiped at our home church with a wonderful time to celebrate Jesus our Risen King and reflect on His incredible love for us. Afterwards we joined up with Krysta's extended family for lunch. The weather was perfect for the get together.

Lucy's Check-up

Lucy had her 9 month check-up yesterday and the Dr. says she is just devine. She is 27 3/4 inches long and 19 pounds which puts her in the 50th-70th percentile. She loves feeding herself and has been trying out broccoli, potatoes, grapes and rice lately. Yesterday she pulled herself up to standing to see Ella and I on the couch.

Take Me Out To the Ballgame

Ella Kate and I (Charlie) went to the Atlanta Braves game this Saturday. It was a beautiful day and a sparse crowd, which was fine by me.

Ella enjoyed watching the baseball players play, the cheers over the loudspeaker, waving at the people on the jumbotron that were waving at the camera,

however, the most fun was had in running the bases up in the Coke Zone for kids and playing in the play area of Tooner Field. She probably ran the bases (as seen in the video) 10 times. She also met a friend named Abby and they were instantly inseparable.

She had an absolute blast and was wiped out when we left. I had to carry her to the car. She was so zonked that she fell asleep drinking water and spilled it all over her shirt!

All in all we had a great day.
