I love my new table and chairs!

Carson loves his new table and chairs. Every chance he gets he wants to eat and play sitting at the table that was made just for him (or so he thinks). It was a perfect gift. Thanks, GrandMary.

Just like my Daddy

Each day Carson reminds me more and more of his Daddy.  Besides looks, Carson is intelligent just like his Dad.  We are constantly impressed by his ability to communicate, by his thought process, and his ability to analyze various situations.  We are so proud of him and absolutley love him to pieces. In these photos, Carson is modeling overalls that his Daddy wore when he was little.  Carson looks just as cute as his Daddy did.  Also being modeled is Carson train hat (or conductor's hat), which is quite fitting since Carson loves trains or chochoos.

Rain boots!

Oh thank goodness for rain boots.  Carson loves puddles. He can hardly resist the urge to run through every puddle that he sees whether he is wearing rain boots or not. He could spends hours playing in the water and mud. Over the past few months he has discovered the joy of wood chips and rocks.  He especially enjoys throwing the wood chips and rocks into puddles of water. And, of course, the bigger splash the better. 

Christmas Time

We had a wonderful Christmas vacation and loved being able to spend time with family, friends, and each other.  We are excited for what this year will bring for all of us. These photos capture some of our Christmas memories.

This is the first snow and Carson was having a blast all bundled up in his snow suit.

Carson loved tearing his presents open; as most children, the paper was more entertaining.

Carson is very excited to show off his new (homemade) pair of flannel pajama bottoms that are covered in cars, trucks, and the like.

Carson was playing with the Christmas tree just as we were getting ready to leave for church.
