Carson Things

Carson has done a few things in the past couple of days that have seemed worthy of remembering, at least to me.  They all just made him seem so grown up.  He’s doing things without being asked, and doing them on his own. Here they are. While he and Betsy were eating breakfast I went … [Read more…]

I’m trying to decide how to proceed with the weekly blogging.  It was almost easier in some ways to do it daily!  By the time I write the posts I’ve forgotten some of those little things that happened over the week and sometimes totally forgotten what we did on some days.  The best way for … [Read more…]

Betsy is Walking

She doesn’t do it all the time, but she does do it on her own without someone standing her up and calling her over to them.  I’ll come into a room and she’ll be walking over to something just because she felt like it.  This is a relief at close to 18 months!  Our pediatrician … [Read more…]

A summary of the week.  In list form because that’s all my brain can do today. We ate Chick-fil-A twice in a row this week (Monday and Tuesday). We had breakfast with Carrie at Blacksmith on Thursday.  It went surprisingly well considering I had both kids.  Thanks to Carrie for holding Betsy so I could … [Read more…]

  Betsy and Lucie The Hartmans and Jean and Travis came over this afternoon for a little Cinco de Mayo celebration.  We had fajitas, guacamole, and margaritas.  What more could you ask for? (Note: Must get a different blanket so that not every outside photo I take looks the same…)

Carson: “Going to see some Aggies.” Me: “Yeah!  It’s going to be so fun.” Carson: “So fun!” Me: “What do you want to … [Read more…]

Sweet Little Teeth   There is something so irresistibly adorable about a child’s smile with just the two bottom teeth. Today was beautiful, but really windy, which made it hard to sit and just enjoy being outside.  The blanket we were sitting on kept blowing up and over Betsy.  She kind of liked it.  When … [Read more…]

  In the Weeds Today we went to lunch with Carrie, Jean and Shallan.  Betsy fell asleep on the way home, so I let her sleep in the car while Carson and I did some weed pulling in the front yard.  It’s been something that I’ve been saying I needed to do for a while … [Read more…]

In Our Shades It’s May already?  Yikes. Today I brought a form to the pediatrician to fill out for Carson to start school in the fall.  Yikes, again!  Since I was already in Bellaire I drove over to Ben’s office and we all went to lunch.  Then I picked up a few things at Trader … [Read more…]
