It's almost turkey day!

This is the new hat Carson's grandma (my mom) bought him. She told him that she'd get it, as long as he promised to never wear it hunting with his Papa!!!
The shirt Carson is wearing as a picture of two dogs just like Macie & Uma. He just had to have it!

Blogging as been scarce, I know....so I'm going to do some updates! Things around here have been going really well. Tayler's school conference was last week, and the report from her teacher was great! She's doing wonderful, and is excelling in all areas. We are so very proud of her!

Carson is also excelling at amazings speeds as well! He's been reaching for things and exploring everything around him! And, he's getting bigger every single day. I was looking through some pictures of him when he was teeny-tiny the other day, and I can't believe how small he once was! I'm cherishing every moment becuase I know THIS stage will pass so quickly!

Brian and I are excited to celebrate Thanksgiving this year. For the first time, we're staying home for the holiday. I have to work the whole day, so Brian is in charge of making our dinner.....he's got everything he needs thanks to our last minute shopping trip yesterday, so I think he'll do great. I'm so excited to celebrate this holiday with my family!!

This weekend, my cousin Courtney (you may remember her shower picutres from a little while ago) is getting married in Seattle, so we're going up for that. It should be a really fun time. Tayler will get to see a bunch of cousins that she loves to get together with, and Carson will get to see a bunch of cousin's he's never even gotten to meet!!! It should be a really fun time.

Here is Tayler with two of her cousin's. (Jerome & Lo lo)

Lastly, the little artist in our house wanted to do a project yesterday. So, we decided on a chain calender to count the days of December until Christmas! Tayler created a gorgeous picture for the top of the chain, and then connected all of the paper loops to count the days! She's so talented!

Three months and counting

As you may have noticed, my blogs have sloooowed a bit. My job is to blame. =)But, I had to take some time to post at Carson's three month mark! I'm sure I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it again, but I cannot believe he is already three months old! Time has flown by! When he was a brand new baby it used to make me sad to think about him getting bigger and growing older, but now I can say he only gets cuter and more fun each month. He giggles, and plays, and really shows his personality. I think it probably only gets better from here!

Living the dream....

I went back to work yesterday. I've got to say, it went better than I thought it would. It was kind of nice to see some of the people I haven't seen in awhile and it was kind of fun to do my job again, which actually, I'd forgotten that I like. Being 9 months pregnant the last time I'd been at work made my job pretty miserable. But sitting at work with no baby in my tummy is actually not bad! That's not to say that I didn't LOVE being pregnant....but it sure made those 12 hours creep by slowly.

I may be singing a very different tune in a month or so, but right now, I'm doing pretty well. Yesterday when I got home from work after 12 hours, and finally had my baby boy in my arms, I'll admit that a couple of tears were shed. But they were mostly happy tears....happy that my baby was okay, even if I wasn't with him the whole day...happy that all of the people who take care of him while I'm away love him VERY much....and sooo happy that I could finally bury my nose in my little guy's soft little neck and smell the wonderful scent that is my son. Ahhhh. I LOVE coming home to him.

I'm hoping that I continue feeling this way, and continue to enjoy my job. I know it's good for Carson to hang out with his grandma's, his aunt, and daddy. But, I've gotta say....I'm so glad I have a couple of days off now to be with my family!!!
