A year ago today...

...we brought Charlie home from Medical City where he had just undergone a cranio-vault surgery.  I am gobsmacked by how fast this year has flown.  It's quite astonishing.  Instead of spending the day with eyes swollen shut, in a groggy drug induced state - Charlie spent his the anniversary of his homecoming swinging, splashing and sounding the day away.

Walker also had a great day.  He was VERY eager to help Papa Obbie with his plumbing job under the house.  So, when there was a lull in the construction, Obbie invited Walker into the "man cave".  Walker was thrilled to be traipsing around under the filthy, spider web invested underbelly of Happy's 100 year old farm house.  He has already proven to be far braver in the face of arachnids than his male predecessors from my side of the family tree.

After crawling around under the house, Mom and I took the boys to an offshoot of Eagle Creek for some good clean fun in the water.  It was a great way to clean up and cool off.  Here are our photos from the day!  Tomorrow: Charlie's 2nd birthday!
