Driving Home This picture of Betsy doesn’t really capture how funny she was being in the car. She was holding on to the toes of her right foot and stretching it out the side of the car seat while squealing pretty loudly. Carson slept through it all. Happy Easter! We had a lovely weekend … [Read more…]
Aunt Claire On Saturday we went to an egg decorating party at Kristen’s. Carson wasn’t too into the egg decorating part, but had a good time exploring the house and the yard, and eating lots of goldfish crackers. Betsy got passed around quite a bit and did a great job.

I know this comes from an Umi Zoomi episode (“The Incredible Presto”) in which the magician accidentally puts his magic wand in the washing machine and it … [Read more…]
Double Stroller Thanks to Ashley Holt for this stroller! I am so glad that Ben suggested we try it out today. We only walked, but Betsy is definitely ready for it. Now I have even less of an excuse for not starting to run again… Had to share this picture. Carson’s face is hilarious. … [Read more…]
Bubbles It is hard to blow bubbles and then try to catch a good photo of a 2 year old. Believe me. I tried about 20 times. But this made his and my morning.
