  • Delayed Snow Post

    These are some pics that weren’t on my camera from when we got some snow around here. We took Carson over to my inlaws house (isn’t it gorgeous?) and let him walk around in the snow for a bit. He was very unsure of the whole situation. He couldn’t walk very well and was very […]

  • Getting Settled

    It’s been two weeks since we moved into our temporary housing assignment here in Salem. 🙂 It is easy to be appreciative for the house itself–coming from an apartment there are a handful of nice changes, especially a big roomy living room and a garage that we can park our cars in! Carson has had […]

  • Uncle Chad gets hitched!

    Our weekend was full of fun and celebration as we welcomed a new Auntie into our lives. Trent’s brother Chad got married to Jess, and we couldn’t be happier. Chad was only 11 years old when trent and I met, so I’ve known him more than half his life! He truly feels like my little […]

  • Need your Carson fix?

    I haven’t posted a lot of Carson pics lately, so here’s a few recent ones, mostly from our trip to AZ. I love this one–he borrowed uncle Kipp’s (I think?) glasses. This one is from one of our last days at our apartment. When I took him back yesterday to finish up the cleaning, he […]

I will narrate when appropriate: Our excuse for a reunion with all of our college buds in Phoenix was that our friend, Jaime, was throwing her husband, Ashley, a surprise 30th birthday party. […]

  • Photo-less

    So, we’ve been back from our vacation for a day and a half, but I’ve been procrastinating updating the blog because I don’t have pictures. Long story–still trying to get them off of the camera. BUT! We had a great time in Phoenix. The central excuse for meeting up with our college buddies was a […]

  • This one takes the cake. I HOPE.

    Let me set the scene for you (and I’ve included some re-enacted self-photos): It’s a busy, messy morning in the Tompkins’ apartment, about 10:55 am. Carson woke up about 4 times during the night crying, so Mommy and Carson are both a little tired. But, we have lunch plans, so life goes on, clothes must […]

  • WHY can we not take a good family picture?!?! Part 2.

    Seriously! I feel that we have some sort of a curse. We have posed for at least 50 pictures this Christmas, and I haven’t been happy with any of them. Entertained, yes, but not happy. Is it me? Am I too much of a perfectionist? I’ll let you be the judge. Someone doesn’t want to […]
