kinda...

it's our "kinda anniversary" today. Dave and I had our first date 20 years ago today. I remember it like yesterday...there was a beach, a BBQ, some hamburgers, sand and lots of laughter...that would be some sand in the hamburgers....so funny when you think about it...and then there was the wave that got him totally wet and he will tell you that I saw it coming but didn't tell him. He bought me a card and flowers. On the "anniversary" card he wrote in "kinda". Makes me smile...as does he! Love you to the moon and back! happy kinda anniversary my love! xoxo

peter cottontail...

visitied the henkel house and baby bunny had a great day with mommy and daddy! xoxo

almost spring...

love this time of year...but don't love all the allergies, colds and other stuff that goes with it. We are lucky to be on the road to recovery. Had a nice weekend and was even able to go and help with a beach clean up with some friends.

Thought I would add something creative to this post. Miss spending time making stuff and wish there was more time to do it all. For now, I'm doing what I love most and savoring every moment with my sweet baby boy...that will be 1 year old before I know it.

memories for mommy:
today you waved "hi"at tania and sarah...made me smile so much!
you made mommy and daddy tear up tonight by giving mommy the sweetest little kisses on her knee of all things...kisses with your mouth open.
you are traveling around so well now...from the couch to the love seat and back again. Would rather be standing instead of crawling now.
7 teeth
have a new bruise on your head...poor thing.
loving playing with 1 cheerio...won't give you more than that and of course we sit right next to you to see what you do with it...and you play with it and it ends up sticking to you and very rarely put it in your mouth.
xoxo

ready...

for a fresh new week...with no flat tires, no car problems, no more trips to emergency, no more sickies, no more fire hydrants exploding next to our house. I think bad news comes in threes and we are beyond that the last couple of weeks....so here's to praying for all things that bring happiness! xoxo

blur..

that's what Carson is now...just a blur. All over the place...was loading the dishwasher this morning and he decided he wanted to help. Grammie and I took him to a fun little play gym today and he had a blast. Didn't get that many photos of him and what I did get is blurry. Just wanted to enjoy his first time there and not worry about having a camera in my hand...left that up to grammie. Next time daddy is coming....wasn't able to today since he was working. Have been super busy the last couple of weeks hence my absence from the blog...and have had to nurse sick boys in the henkel household...and even a run to emergency last weekend for baby boy which ended up being a respiratory infection with 2 earaches....and high fever. Poor baby is better now.

Hard to believe Carson is 7 1/2 months now and before we know it he will be 1 year old. Wow!

He's 19 lbs. now with 7 teeth. The top 4 are still pushing through but you can definitely see them in all their glory in the photo above.
baby talk...dada, mama and up
liking sweet potatoes, green beans, squash, sweet peas and really loves rice cereal
loves music...enjoying his new maraca from grammie
favorite new toys-laughing clown doll, jingle bell and holey balls all from gymboree
