Charlie's BIG Weekend

Being the son of a basketball coach, Charlie is predestined to spend an abnormal amount of time in basketball gyms. Well, he attended his first game and did wonderfully. When he wasn't sleeping in someone's arms after being passed around, he was staring at the gym lights like they were the greatest baby mobile ever.


The next day I had an appointment (which led to me needing to get my gallbladder removed in the next couple of weeks) and was not feeling well at all. Thomas had to be at school for the tournament that they were hosting. So Charlie spent all day at the tournament. He slept most of the day in various people's arms and even survived a game in Coach Ferguson's arms (he tends to get excited and loud during games).

We then packed the RAV 4 full of baby stuff and drove to Walburg for Charlie's baptism. It took a little longer because Charlie got hungry in Waco and could not be distracted by driving or the paci. We arrived safely, unloaded the mountian of stuff. Thomas volunteered for the 2 am feeding and ended up with a great story involving baby pee, a slamming toilet seat, faulty bottle assembly and the two of them falling asleep to Robo Cop (you'll have to ask Thomas for the details).

The next morning was the baptism. We scurried around and managed to make it to the church in time and with Charlie. He was wonderful during the baptism and the rest of the service, it was beautiful. Lunch was great afterward and it was so good to see everyone. Thanks for being there!

The last adventure of the weekend was Charlie's first trip to College Station. Angela is moving to New York to start her new job at Fordham University so she had a going away party. We had a good time. Angela will be missed but everyone is very excited for her as she starts an exciting chapter of her life. Here are pictures of Charlie around campus:
