Mémère

Here is a recent shot of my Mémère (french for grandma). Mom spends a week in Mass with her sister every year -- she also goes to visit my Dad's mom... my Mémère. I miss her so much; hopefully, we'll make the trip North this year!

Mo cookeee peas!

AKA... more cookies please!! Carter is a real chatter bug -- even his teachers at school say he talks more than any other kid in the class. Josh and I have started a list of all the words he can say (I'll post soon). For now, here are a few cute shots of Carter eating some cookies on the steps.




He looks so grown -- doesn't he!

Grandma!

We are lucky enough to have my mom close by -- not only does she insist on visiting once a week -- she allows Josh and I some couple time! As much as she is here, you'd think I'd have tons of pictures of her -- nope! This is actually one of the only ones! So... you know I had to blog it :-) Carter loves his book time! Here they are together, with his new Lobster! Grandma brought that all the way back from Maine for Carter! Thanks Mom.

The sun & the moon!

We've had some pretty yucky storms here lately -- between storms we've been able to get a few good shots of some nice sunsets, and a beautiful moon shot. Thought I'd share -- Enjoy!!

Little big helper...

Josh was out sweeping up the mess the pups made out of tree branches when Carter decided he wanted to help! Of course we weren't fortunate enough for him to clean our area -- he had to do the neighbors.

It didn't take Carter long to realize sweeping isn't really that much fun!

He'd rather push along his wagon -- any day of the week!

Then... if you can believe it, the following day he decided he wanted to help Mommy vacuum. He really enjoyed it. I think it took him 30 minutes to get one spot :-) For those of you that haven't seen his shirt; it says "I still live with my parents". I suppose he has earned his keep this week!

Dinner @ The French's

Rick & Jen were kind enough to invite us over for dinner -- we had such a good time. The food was yummy, and the kids really played well together. Believe it or not, in the 250 pictures that were taken (thanks Jo) not a single one of Parker. So, we'll have to be sure to get a bunch next time! Yes, there will be a next time, sooner than later.

Here is a cute one of Harrison showing Carter how to ride a bike -- what a big boy, even put his helmet on without being asked!

How cute.... Jen said Harrison wouldn't have anything to do with his little brother Parker if he tried to do this -- he was all about it with Carter though!

Carter & Harrison hangin' out on the couch before bed time!

Friendships were made for sure!

Jo & Alyssa -- thanks for introducing us to Jen & Rick. Good times!

Carter walking

I was looking through some files and found a clip Josh had taken with his phone of Carter walking (with the help of his truck) in early January. Gosh, seems like yesterday! They really do grow up quickly. There are days I'm afraid to blink!
