Happy Birthday, Charlie!!!

Where does the time go? It is so hard to believe that Charlie is SEVEN!! He is such a special boy and he has truly blessed our lives with his love, smiles, humor, thoughtfulness, sweetness and sportiness! Charlie's birthday was celebrated throughout the weekend with a party with his buddies at Playworks, lunch out at his favorite new restaurant with Grandma Sheila, Papa Bill and Tommy, a delightful pizza and cake party with both sets of Grandparents at our home and Charlie's last evening baseball game with his number one super fans cheering him on! This game was even more remarkable with Tim by his side for an inning, as players were able to play with a parent to mark the last game of the season!

Happy Birthday, Charlie Man! It has been a joyous July with family, friends and various celebrations. We observed the Fourth of July holiday in Northfield with Tim's family and enjoyed getting together with the extended Auge Family. Besides trying to beat the heat and stay cool, we have kept busy splashing in our pool, attending baseball games for Charlie and Tommy, playing outside, picking vegetables from our little garden, and playing with our dearest friends. Grandma and Grandpa arrived from Iowa to watch the kids while Tim and I also enjoyed an action-packed weekend. We had a blast riding through Shakopee via the Pedal Pub with friends and attended Tim's cousin's wedding the following afternoon. We shared a lot of laughs and made precious memories!

With four brothers, Ellie is sharing in their love for ball!

Tommy was also able to play an inning with Daddy during his last game, too!
