Hey Friends,
Today is a big day for our family. Seven years ago, Charles Ray Shoemaker was born. His arrival changed our world and brightened our lives. He makes us all so happy with his love, smiles, hugs and antics.
Charlie, we love you so much. You were an awesome addition to our family! Happy 7th birthday, buddy!
While we were in Mississippi last month, Mom and I were part of an early-birthday dinner for Charlie. We so enjoyed celebrating our boy that evening. I am thrilled that it worked out for us to be there.
Below are some pictures from Charlie’s 2026 birthday dinner. I also included some of my favorites from the Charlie archives.
