You can find us out back...on our new deck!


Old Deck....................................... New Deck!!

We finally put a real deck put on the house! If you are ever looking for us... try out back on the deck. We'll be living there the rest of the Spring/Summer. (more pictures on the picasa page for those who follow).

Oh, and since we were experiencing wonderful Summer-like weather on the very weekend that our deck was completed.. we grilled out. A lot. Carson (who loves corn) got to experience her first corn on the cob. She's a fan (just like her momma!).

If You Don't Have Anything Nice to Say, Don't Say Anything At All!

That's what my momma always told me!

It has been 4 months since my last post, and I can sum up the time quickly. Carson has been SICK, sick, and sick again. This has been the longest, coldest, snowiest, depressing (and did I mention sick) winter that I can remember. Sure, there have been some good moments... Christmas, a trip to Charlotte, Carson's emerging (and engaging!) personality, etc... but for the most part I have not been inspired to write..

Like I said, most of the winter we dealt with Carson's various forms of daycare-itis - this was the best... some weird crazy viral rash. 3 trips to the doctors that week- She was seen by 4 doctors. No one could explain it.. just a virus. Luckily it went away a few days later...



The winter wasn't all bad! We did go to Charlotte for GM's 91st birthday and got to see a large part of the Southern family. Here's a favorite picture of mine from that trip... Steve and Carson at Freedom Park.

You know what? I'm done with the blah mood. Spring is coming, and I'm feeling inspired again. We have a new deck being put on, Carson's 2nd birthday is coming up fast (wow!!), and summer plans are taking shape. Carson is doing great (minus yet another cold!)!! She's talking, jumping, and singing away! She has joined a Music Together class with her Nonie (Pam) and she's a little rock star! Happy and Healthy!


I am moving forward and will be writing more, but one last thing... Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Valentine's Day, St. Patty's Day, and Happy Easter!! (now I'm all caught up!)
