This morning as I was rushing around getting ready to leave for Bible study, I realized Carson had been silent for too long. I was all done getting myself ready, and just needed to get him dressed, then we were out the door. Except that he had scooped a generous handful of “daddy’s hair” (aka: […]
I’ve been chastised for not keeping up with my usual blogginess. Sorry about that. And at least 2 people (my husband included) have confessed that they open the page with some disappointment when they see “just words” and no pictures, so here’s a post to appease you illiterates. 😉 This is just a random, slightly […]
This afternoon I had the rare opportunity to get groceries by myself. I even drove out of my way to WalMart to get some good prices. I carefully picked out all the stuff I need to make my portion of Thanksgiving dinners this weekend and waited in long lines of others doing the same thing. […]
BTW, here is a pic of the door after we painted it. I don’t know if you can tell the difference as much, but we can! Also, this was the first day Carson showed a strong preference (and if you are familiar with toddlers, you know that by “strong preference” I mean “if he didn’t […]
A few weeks ago we took Carson out in our new bike-trailer (is there a better name for it?) that he got for his birthday from Gma and Gpa Tompkins. Of course we also had to get him a helmet, which he was not too sure about. (Can you blame him?) Of course, it didn’t […]
I’ve been slacking off on taking pictures, which is kind of my bread and butter for this blog. So, I’ll try to fill you in on some things Carson has been saying lately. I find that adults trying mimic their toddler’s language in person is somewhat grating. I hope that just typing it out isn’t […]
I was just finishing the previous post when something newsworthy (or blogworthy) happened. Carson, dressed only in a diaper, came to me slowly with his arm out, and there was SOMETHING on his finger. “Oh, Lord. Please let that be part of a dead worm. Or the world’s biggest booger. Or melted chocolate from the […]
This is a family shot at the church where we grew up, where my dad was a pastor. Sweet beard, Dad. Aren’t we so cute?! And so 80’s! I loved that dress. It’s funny to think of my mom as a mom of YOUNG kids! She’s probably only about 32 in this picture…barely older than […]
We had quite a day yesterday! After Bible study, we had lunch at Gma Jo-Jo’s house, then drove to Beaverton to meet up with Ethan and Nathan and their mamas. Then we stopped by BCC to say hi to some of my old coworkers, and went to Uncle Mike’s and Aunt Becky’s for dinner, where […]
I haven’t posted any vids of Carson for a while, partly for the reason you have seen on the videos: he cannot help himself from grabbing the camera and touching the lense and vid screens, which drives me crazy. But this morning he woke up in such a good mood, that I had to grab […]
