After four nights in the hospital and a much too long wait for the bill on Monday morning ... gee, is it afternoon already, Charlie and Denise came home to a cute baby's welcome.  Just like the Romans did with triumphal generals, Katie followed Charlie around whispering "You grow up and get less cute.  You grow up and get less cute."  (If this reference doesn't make sense to you, you should have paid more attention in Classical Western History class).

Anyway, most of you aren't checking out the site for my wit so on to the photos ... just click read more ...

Charlie had his first calculus lesson today, but didn't do as well as we would have liked as he kept wandering off to walk on water.  What?  Your kids don't do this as well?  Of course, it is easy to continue imagining Charlie's brilliance and perfection while he still mostly sleeps.  I know it will change, but right now I allow myself to imagine halos.

Charlie had a few new visitors today.  Aunt Vanessa thought Charlie was so cute he'd make a great accessory to go with her Louis Vuitton handbag.  High praise from Auntie V.  Auntie Jenny was also finally allowed to see Charlie.  She would have seen him sooner, but she had a cold and her boss (that would be me) was mean and not taking any chances.  So it is good to have Jenny off the sick list and on the Charlie fan list.  Obligatory photos to follow:
