I know we've been "missing" for the last 3 months. LOTS of changes have been happening, so the blogging had to be ignored for a bit. But I'm back to catch everyone up!
Most importantly, Charleston is doing FANTASTIC!!!! We are counting down to his 2nd birthday, which is December 1st (more on that later). He is happy, healthy, smart, and thriving.
For those of you that don't know, we have relocated to the Central Valley of California, to a town named Turlock. The specialists at Stanford told Ashley & Cameron that they needed to get Charleston to a lower altitude to enable him to breathe easier. The first thing we did was get them situated at Gigi Greg Goeppert's home in Concord, where they stayed most of the summer. Cameron continued working his job in Reno, commuting between both places until he was able to get a paramedic job in Turlock. (On a side note, this is where my mom was born and raised, and I have family still here!) Once Cameron got hired, they found a home to rent, and Cameron moved them here. Then I got busy and found a great tenant for my home in Reno, my dear friend Linda Moldovan helped me pack, my son & his fiance flew up to Reno and moved me to Turlock! I now have all my things in storage and am staying with one of my cousins and her hubby, Shane and Sherry. We LOVE it here, and it's been a wonderful change for all of us, especially our Charleston.
Ashley & Cameron have been able to take our little man on a couple of outings!!!! I'm so happy to see them "living" once again, and getting out of the house to show him the world. One of their first outings was to Pacific Grove & Monterey. They took Charleston to the beach that they were married so he could see it! They also took him to Yosemite for a day. He loves to go in his "rocket" (van) because he knows he's getting to do something fun.
You know us and projects! Charleston and I love to decorate cookies together, so this was one of our projects getting ready for Halloween. That's a big day for a toddler and we wanted him to get excited about it!
Little mama and daddy took Charleston to a pumpkin patch!
Then he got to get ooey gooey!!!! Check out the look on his face :)
