Charlie Channel 1

Welcome to the first viewing of the Charlie Channel.  

In this installment, Charlie tells us what he thinks about the wreath on the wall.  We think he is telling us to take the wreath down because Christmas is over.

Four Generations

 You know you are a blessed and fortunate family when you have four generations in the same room.

Shortly after Charlie was born, he met his Great Grandmother Alice "Nan" Franz.  Nan thought he was "beautiful"!
Over Christmas Charlie met his Great Grandparents (Arlene and Richard) Grunze.
Grandpa Grunze thought he was an impressive little guy!
 Also during Christmas he met his Great Grandparents (Colleen and Clarence) Hoerth.


Gramma Hoerth loves her Great Grandchildren (Malcolm and Charlie are only 2 of 23 great grandkids!)







Charlie has one more Great Grandmother, Caroline "Nuna" Ferraro to meet.  Hopefully an opportunity will arise this summer.  We can't wait to hear what she thinks!

Charlie's First Christmas

Charlie's first Christmas was spent in Wisconsin.  We had a very cozy time.
Charlie got to play with new toys.



 He got to play with Uncle Paul.
 He got belly kisses from Papa.
 He got cousin time with Malcolm.
 He got snuggle time with Auntie Erin.
 He got nap time with Nonna.
 He got to play with Mommy's hair.

He got to dress goofy with Daddy.

He got to contemplate the meaning of Christmas in front of the tree.


We had great family time.



What a proud Papa!


We had a lovely Christmas with Charlie.
