First day of school! Carson was excited to go to his first day of Kindergarten, awake and in the play room waiting for me before I even went to get him up. Ben came with us, which was great mostly because we like him, but also because I had two bags of supplies to bring in and … [Read more…]
Two of my favorite guys.
“Stand still and let me take your picture!” Carson’s haircut is kind of adorable. I wanted to take a picture of him this morning before school, but getting him to stand still isn’t always easy. So instead of posting a blurry shot, I “made” (uploaded pictures to this site) an animated GIF! Who knew it … [Read more…]
Birthday Balloon We had a full and fun day! Carson and Betsy stayed home with Steve and Kate while Ben and I went to church. We brought home lunch and cupcakes, and after eating Ben and Steve went to work putting together the bunk beds in Carson’s room! I ran to Target for a mattress … [Read more…]

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…]
Driving the tractor through the rice fields with uncle Gary. We flew in to Sacramento this afternoon, and then drove to Richvale. Carson was in a pretty rotten mood after getting up so early and then spending so much time traveling. Uncle Gary saved the day by taking him out in the biggest tractor he’d … [Read more…]
He’s Back! Carson is almost 100% today. He is eating more. He is sleeping better. He’s even being a little mischievous, which is normally kind of irritating, but I was so happy to see him feeling better that I didn’t mind that he’d unstacked and unfolded a bunch of clothes I’d set out to start … [Read more…]
