Charlie was first Travis' dog, but that didn't stay true for long.  Charlie and Ryan were the best of friends.  Ryan (and Thomas) used to walk Charlie before school.  Ryan was in charge of picking up the poop.  And he did it because that's what you do when you have a dog.  Ryan didn't want to leave Charlie when he went to New York for the summer.  He was worried about whether or not Charlie would rememeber him.  Well, that was just silly.  This dog LOVED Ryan and when Ryan returned from New York, Charlie was excited.  We captured this video of the reunion.  Everytime I watch it, it makes me smile.

Every sock had at least one hole.  And of course, no of them matched.

This was the first ride on the new bike.  He had to learn how to use the clutch. At least it was an electric start so he didn't have to deal with a kick start too.  But he did great.  He was a natural.  Next stop...the dunes

Ryan was unstoppable in this game against the Packers.  I think he had 4 touchdowns.

Ryan recently had gotten in trouble for having his phone at school.  He promised me it was a one time thing.  Boy did he have me fooled.  As I look at some of these pictures, I can tell he's in the classroom taking these pictures.

Ryan was sitting next to me on the couch.  I could tell he was taking a picture of me by the way he was holding his phone.  But then he showed me that he put me inside a heart.  Well, I guess that was okay
