My only regret about Carson’s party is that I didn’t take any video. I think it was a wonderful glimpse into his truly enchanted childhood. (He may not think it is enchanted, but I see how all the pieces of his life add up to nothing less.) He was surrounded by all of his extended […]
I’m going to have to divide Carson’s birthday party pics into 2 posts. But first, some of you have requested pictures of the cupcakes, and here they are! This is the menagerie of jungle safari animals: zebra, lion, monkey, giraffe, elephant and tiger. I could not have made these without my in-laws, who took the […]
We had a big party today. It was super fun. I make cupcakes and they took a long time. Carson has a blast at his party and felt so special having all his friends and family shower him with love, attention and gifts. I love it too. I’m feeling very, very blessed. But also? Very, […]
I’ve been trying to get a good video of Sydney dancing, because it’s darn cute. But, as you’ll see, she gets distracted pretty easily. Usually it’s her interest in the camera itself, and this particular night, Trent let her sit by the computer, so she was fascinated with the volume control. But you can get […]
Like any mother, I cannot come upon my child’s birthday without remembering the details of that child’s day of birth and pregnancy. Today is the FOURTH anniversary of Carson’s entrance into our lives! I didn’t blog then, so I feel the right to share the abridged story. 🙂 I had an easy pregnancy physically, but […]
So, I feel like I have used this blog on many occasions to rant/share my frustrations with my challenging son. And while I have many more of those type of tear-my-hair-out stories that I could post, I thought I’d give you a couple goodies. First, Carson’s preschool teacher, Mrs. M, told Daddy today that Carson […]
I tried to find a generic photo for this post, but there wasn’t a photo of a child with a megaphone large enough to do it justice! * You see, in the last week, we’ve had 2 incidents where Carson, completely innocently, has LOUDLY commented on another person’s appearance in public. And you all know […]
So, I have two functions this weekend for which I’m providing cupcakes. One is for company at my house tonight. Last night I decided to experiment with 2 different cupcakes styles, both merely decorative and not focusing on the taste of the cake. (Hello, Betty Crocker yellow cake mix!) I thought both would be really […]
Sydney’s still not confident about the walking thing, but she’s getting very sure of herself with her balance and footing when she’s holding onto something. She’ll speed-crawl around the house, pull herself up on anything that does or doesn’t move, cruise around, then squat back down to crawl her next destination. Oh, gosh, look at […]
SCHOOL! Carson is now officially a student. He started today and won’t stop for many, many years. OK, I know it’s only preschool, but it’s quite a milestone for all of us. Don’t ask me if I documented it. You know I did! * Here’s the big school boy watching his one allotted episode of […]
