Best seat in the house? Betsy did not want to sit on the floor after her nap (during which I tried and failed to take one myself). So I sat her up on the couch with Carson and me. She kept climbing up to sit right here, no matter how many times I moved … [Read more…]
Clapping with Aunt Lindsey This morning we spent some time outside. The weather was cool, it was sunny and wonderful. Scott and Beckett are flying home this afternoon, so on the way to the airport we had lunch at Bubba’s Burger Shack, a somewhat hidden little burger place that is worth going to if … [Read more…]
Birthday Party Boy Carson’s actual birthday isn’t until Saturday Thursday, but we had a great time celebrating at his birthday party today! Everything turned out great and I think everyone had a fun time. Tonight we went out for dinner to celebrate Lindsey’s birthday. Our babysitter watched Carson and Lane, and Beckett came out with … [Read more…]
Carson the Handyman Today I worked on Carson’s party, more than once finding myself wondering why I’d saved so many things for the day before the party and why I’d also given myself non party related projects to work on. Last night I made a couple houses out of some wardrobe boxes we used … [Read more…]
Double Stroller Carson usually likes to walk when we go places now, and so I don’t bring our double stroller unless we’re going to the zoo or doing something else that involves a lot of walking and I anticipate he’ll want/need a break. Before meeting Carrie for lunch I had a couple returns to make … [Read more…]

Get out of the way, mom! I wanted to get a picture of Carson and Betsy on the couch together tonight. They were in the middle of very intense Handy Manny episode and when I sat them on the couch and then sat on the coffee table in front of them they both leaned … [Read more…]
Carson’s Plant When I picked Carson up from school today we got this to take home. I’m not sure how long they’ve been growing them. Carson was pretty proud of his little cup of grass! Betsy took 2 hour-ish long naps today, which was great. I’m sure it was the time change. She woke up … [Read more…]
SCOOTER!! Carson had a pretty fantastic time on Lane’s scooter. Thanks for sharing, Lane! This morning was beautiful and cool. Carson spent most of his time outside before we headed back home. I brought Betsy outside to swing for a little while. I just realized the last couple days are very grandpa heavy! I promise … [Read more…]
Napping My dad almost always volunteers to put Carson down for naps when we’re at their house. I’m pretty sure this is why. This evening we went to Jessi’s wedding in Florence. The weather was perfect and the wedding was beautiful. Thanks to my parents for keeping the kids!
