. . . Charlie asked us, "Is Obama happy?" I said, "Yes buddy, I think he is."
I know this is a little cheesy, but I felt so proud watching him take the oath of office (too bad Roberts goofed on the oath - I mean seriously? It's the only quoted text in the Constitution!), and felt pretty happy myself.

Holy Blizzard, Batman!
IT'S SNOWING!!! And not a little piddly NC snow - real, serious constant snow that's sticking to the ground. I'd say we've had 3-4" already, and it's still coming. Now, for those of you that live in OH, NH or MN, keep your mocking to a minimum, kay? We try not to give you a hard time when you complain about 90-degree weather in the summer. :)

Tidbits
Not too much new for 2009. Charlies's getting back into his groove, although he most emphatically did NOT want to go to school that first day back. And who can blame him? I didn't much feel like going to work myself.
Our friend Tanisha had a baby in October, which has kept her absent from our usual playdates. One Saturday we all convened at her house in Durham. I love this picture of James reading to the kids, but especially love that Charlie felt it necessary to rub his head. A nonverbal thanks for the story, perhaps?
As you can see, Charlie's hair is getting kind of insane, so much so that we have started calling him a scruffy hippy. When he was with Grandma & Grandpa, he decided that he wanted a ponytail, so he could be a horse. This is cute in and of itself, but also a nice preview of what he might look like with a haircut.
Charlie's been wanting to take pictures with the camera lately, which typically results in lots of pictures of my nose (which will not be featured here). Durng a tutorial, I took this one of Charlie, which is very GQ Toddler.
Charlie also loves us to shoot video of him, and then wants to watch it over and over again. (My cousin used to do the same thing - back in the days of VCRs, he would watch his "Ryan tapes.") Here's a little sampling of his most recent video performance, complete with vocal stylings:
His reaction to seeing the video - quite the Narcissus, eh?
