Count-tastic

Charlie showing off his skills...

Sea Shore

Charlie's favorite spot was a shore at the end of the island where he
could throw rocks.

Ahh, the simple joys in life.  To be a kid again!

Animal Safari

The Joneses got to experience a drive-through safari, right smack dab in Washington!!

Grazing with the buffalo

Up close and personal

This one was too close for comfort

Charlie couldn't get enough of all of the animals

Don't want to make this one angry

Brrrr...

Baby it's cold outside!

Especially at the playground in Port Townsend with the wind blowing off of the ocean. It didn't stop this little trooper from making sure he got to go down the slide a few times.

Happy Belated Thanksgiving

Thankful for our get-a-way to our cabin on Marrowstone Island for Thanksgiving!  This was the first time in ten years (probably longer) that Paul didn't have to work over the holiday weekend and we could get out of town and stay a while.  Over the next few days we'll get you caught up on what the Joneses were up to on the island...

The biggest turkey at the table was you know who!

Turkey dinner for three - how lovely and delicious!

   

Electricfying

What's so funny??

Cousins

Perspective

Turning 21 months makes me feel so grown up....

...but I realize I still have a lifetime to live.

Love you Grandpa Louie - the youngest 97 year old I know!

Fall Sun

Soaking up the sun in California.  This state doesn't seem to be getting any closer to Winter...

Somersaults

Look mom - no hands...

Happy Halloween

The evening started out with a bit of posing for the camera - what a cute elephant!!

Then, we were off to the downtown trick-or-treat event; a second annual for Charlie...

Ready to go!

Charlie waits for no one when there is candy involved...

Candy pit stop.
Don't mind me - you can feel free to go around and make sure not to step on my lollipop, please!

First Haircut

We're sad to see the mullet go...but now he's so fresh and so clean, clean!!

Hops

Charlie has been getting more and more adventurous by jumping off of things around the house.  He is so proud of himself and jumped off of this stool for about 15 minutes straight. It's so precious how he forgets to say "one" when counting!

Alphabet Soup

I came up with this game over the rainy weekend.  He doesn't get it right every time, but he got it right when it counted...on camera!!

Belly Flops

No fear...
