Carter Dresses Himself!

Well, you read all the parenting books and you learn that at some point the toddler wants to do everything for themselves. Last week, I found that to be true when it comes to dressing. Carter came out of his room and insisted that he wear his Mickey Mouse hat and suspenders to compliment the Elmo pj's he already had on. Luckily, we weren't going in public for a few hours. I couldn't resist but to help him get everything in place. I, then, had to capture the moment. And now, I share it with all of you! This is a pretty big milestone that may need a little direction down the road! Our love to all!


Still Pregnant!
After going to the doctor on July 2nd, Brady is growing healthy and strong. He is now weighing in at 6lbs 10oz and that was at 36 weeks! From the ultrasound, on the left you can see he has big feet like Carter. On the right, his fist is pressed up against his head. The doctor thinks I will go into labor on my own and we have opted out of induction, for now. On Monday, at the doctor, I found out I have dialated one centimeter. I am feeling very close and as you can tell, running out of room. I am starting to feel run down and sleeping is becoming more and more difficult. Brady's room is almost complete thanks to Daddy! We have decided to go with a sports theme. Carter is preparing to be a big brother by talking about him often. We are so anxious to meet the newest member of our family. We will keep you posted. Our love to all!






Carter Turns Three!

On June 23, 2007 we celebrated Carter's third birthday. Once again, we invited numerous family and friends. We rented a castle that the kids could jump in. This kept them entertained much to all the parents liking! Thomas the Tank Engine was the theme throughout. My mom and dad were so generous to host the party at their house. Carter received so many nice gifts especially all the Thomas gear! It was such a fun day to catch up with friends and family. Thank you so much to all who came and we missed those who couldn't make it! Our love to all!
