Present from Gigi

Gigi is Carter and Hannah's great grandma from Texas. She graciously surprised them with stuffed animals that respond to your voice. We gave Carter the option to pick which one would be his and which one would be baby's.  We thought it would be a good opportunity to learn how to share with his sister.  Did he get it?  Yeah, he got it. He got that we didn't let him keep both animals...not fair!

Cool! I get 2 new animals!

WHAT?!?! I have to give one to HER?

But I don't want to! These are both so cool that I want them both!

Ok, I guess I'll pick the bear...he's pretty cool

It's been a while since I've lit candles around the house. We were having company so I wanted to get the house smelling good and festive. This little guy found it fascinating.  He ran straight to it and started...

Birthday Present

Carter awoke from his nap to find that a present came to him in the mail. He was very excited to play with his new toy...he played with it for an hour straight!  CJ says thank you!

Mia Visit

Mia came to visit last weekend. We are so blessed to have family come in to visit a lot! We got to do lots of playing and celebrated CJ's birthday. Lots of fun was had by all. We are always sad to see her go, but we know that we will see her soon. CJ and Hannah love their Mia!

I'm TEWWW!

Happy Birthday to our Big Buddy Carter!!! You are the sweetest boy anyone could ever ask for and we love you with all our hearts. We look forward to many more fun years with you!

Early Birthday Present

Somebody is turning 2 on Sunday! My parents decided to get CJ's birthday gift while they were here. They wanted to get him a basketball hoop.  Guess what happens when you send dad and grandpa out to get the hoop. You end up with the biggest hoop in the store. The video shows the lowest setting.  It goes all the way up to 6 ft! Since we don't have a playroom at this house, that monstrocity is going to remain in the little guys room :)  I don't think he minds...he goes up there often to "shoot ball"!
