Happy Ninth Birthday!

What a happy weekend celebration, Charlie. I’m marking my calendar today cause when it’s your birthday today, I know it’s just six months until Christmas.

COSI (center of Science and Industry) Color Exhibition – it was fun to watch you and your cousin play in the changing hues.

Happy Birthday Charlie
