Trip to Fond Du Lac.

Our trip to Fond du Lac this year got pushed up to the Spring upon the news of Grandma Evelyn Leu (Grandma Grandma) passing away at 98 years of age. One of my favorite Charlie moments with Grandma was on our last visit when they snuggled up in her bed and both of them talked and talked away. She was such a loving and beautiful woman who will be greatly missed.

Grandpa giving Charlie a ride on the lawnmower. At first he was elated to jump on...but soon after they started cutting the grass he got a bit freaked out & had to get off quickly. He LOVES to look at the big trucks, but isn't so sure about riding them yet.



Charlie met his cousin Eloisa - sweet sweet Ellie. She is 3 months old and adorable!!



Charlie a bit fixated on the lawnmower, still. Watching Grandpa finish mowing the lawn...



Since Charlie's 2nd birthday was days after our visit we had a family gathering to celebrate. Charlie adored his cake that Grandma Leu made!!!

Charlie's 2nd Birthday



Happy 2nd Birthday sweet sweet Charlie. May the next year ahead be full of new adventures, nonstop happiness, and of course - lots and lots of trucks in every size!!! I love you like crazy Charles Thomas Leu - you mean the world to me.

A birthday breakfast...



Because of his obsession with trucks, we went with a Firetruck theme for his birthday party. Hosted at home, we had an old retired Firetruck swing by & take us on a few rides around Noe Valley.






I very proudly made his cake!










It was a giant success with everyone BUT Charlie.

Chloc-let.

HAPPY EASTER!!! The Easter bunny dropped off a few things to our house, even a note!



Their Easter Baskets. Charlie got a book all about vehicles, a new rake to help Mommy in the backyard & a truck - of course.



On our way to the Easter Parade down in the Marina, Charlie ate a BLUE Chloc-let egg and LOVED every bit of it!



Walking around looking for easter eggs at the hunt & hanging out with sister Maggie.
