3 wonderful years!

Our 3 year anniversary is coming up on Tuesday, so we chose Saturday to semi-celebrate, procrastinate from packing, and to take Carson's first trip into the city! For those of you who don't know... Steve and I met at a bar in Boston. The bar recently closed, and became the Hard Rock Cafe Boston. We decided to check it out, and to return to the scene of the crime (sorta)... We had lunch, and then took off to do a little sight-seeing before Carson had a melt down.. We made it to Fanueil Hall and to the Harbor before going home. It was a beautiful day. 80 degrees and not a cloud in the sky! The Hard Rock Cafe is lacking the charm that it had on Clarendon Street, but it was fun to check it out and to be where we met 6 years ago.

If all goes well, we'll be closing on our first home on October 18th! We finally got into 1st gear this weekend, and have packed 3 or 4 boxes. We both hate packing. I just want to get in the house..... I want the stuff to be magically packed and delivered... I want to shop for paints and appliances!

I have to start traveling for work this week, and I'm dreading it. Thankfully its only a one night trip to St. Louis, but it is still leaving Carson, and I'm not comfortable with it. I also have a trip to Houston, another trip to St. Louis and a possible trip to Portland, OR in my future.

Carson is doing great. She'll be 5 months old on Tuesday. She recently went to the doctor for her 4 month appointment, and she checked in at 14lbs, 3oz. She has doubled her birth weight!! We tried spoon feeding her last week for the first time, but she didn't seem to be too interested yet, so we're not aggressively pursuing it. Other than that, not too much to report. Her Bebe (my mom) came to town to visit last weekend, and that was a lot of fun. It was good to see her, and good for Carson to get re-acquainted with her Bebe..
