Baby Bat

Carson got to dress up for his first Halloween Party for my mom's group.  It was adorable having a room full of cute babies in costume!

Poor baby bat is all done with pictures...

Girl's Weekend

We had our 2nd Annual Girl's Weekend and it was fabulous.  It is so wonderful to continue a friendship from so long ago...elementary school, junior high and high school and still have such a strong connection with somebody.  We had a lot to celebrate this year and realized a lot had changed since last year- a baby, a pregnancy, home ownership and graduation from grad school all within 4 friends!  We can't wait to see what the next year will bring for all of us and what we will be celebrating in Fall of 2011!

Happy 8 weeks!

Happy 8 weeks to our little man! We can't believe how fast time is going by.  We fell in love with him the day met him and now over the past 2 months have found more reasons each day to love him more. He seems to change by the day. We are seeing more and more smiles and hearing more "talking" and enjoying every minute of it.
His monthly photo with Hungry Hungry the Hippo-


The things that we have fallen in love with about you...
- your mohawk...we think it is one of your best features
- your smiles
- when you sleep cuddled up on us
- the little rolls you are growing on your thighs
- when you roll over
- your grunts as you fall asleep or eat (you are a boy through and through)
- when you talk to us
- your snuggles
- watching you play in the bath tub
- that you love being outside
- watching you kick and move around
- that you like to sit like a big boy at the table so you don't miss anything
...and the list goes on.


We couldn't love you more and can't wait to see what new things we will discover about you as you continue to grow!

The Great Pumpkin Hunt

Last weekend we began our fall festivities...every year we head off to Bishops Farm, which is the Disney World of pumpkin patches.  This year was extra special taking Carson for the first time to get his pumpkin.  We went with the Reeds and had a blast riding the train (by far Brandt's favorite part), watching the pig races, a hay ride out to the pumpkin fields and not to mention some tasty treats.  Carson slept through his first pumpkin hunt, but mommy and daddy picked out a good one for him!

Happy Fall!

I'm a lemming....

So I am jumping off the cliff with everyone else....
And starting a blog.
I'll be clear it isn't because I think I have note worthly things to say or that my life, thoughts, words are any more unique than the next, but I do think our life is rather exciting especially with our little man now.  And though we do our best to keep everyone updated on our life I find our life is not slowing down in any way, but rather picking up speed it seems (I suppose its the whole having a baby thing).  I figure this is just one more way for our family and friends to see what latest adventures we have been up to.

So believe it or not Little Carson John is soon to be 2 mos old...so here is a glipse of the past 7 weeks...and then we will continue on...
