Latest trip to Nana & Granddaddy's.

Mommy and Daddy,

Saturday was a good day to be grandparents. We enjoyed our time with Carter and Kenzie. We played with toys, played outside, took a walk, cruised the lake and had movie night.

Mommy and Daddy,

Sunday was a beautiful day at the lake, the temperature hit 77. Carter and I spent about six hours on the pontoon. We didn't have any luck with the fish but we had fun driving around the lake looking for ducks, seagulls and turtles. Kenzie and Nana spent "girl time" together. They joined us in the afternoon for a leisurely pontoon ride.

Mommy and Daddy,

What a difference a day makes weather wise. The temperature dropped from 77 on Sunday to 43 on Monday. It is like winter again so we decided to play inside today. We still had lots of fun. We played with all of our toys (and I mean ALL of them), Kenzie practiced her walking, we watched several movies and Carter modeled all of his superhero costumes (several times).

I have a question that need a mommy or daddy response. Carter stuck his index finger up his nose to the first joint. He said he was scratching his nose and I said he was picking his nose. So which one was it, a scratch or a pick???? He said you allow him to do that. That may be a battle that granddaddy chooses not to fight.

Tomorrow is Chuck E Cheese day!

Mommy and Daddy,

Today was Chuck E Cheese day. There were only four other kids there so it was like the place was reserved for us. Carter ran from game to game and Kenzie was able to walk around at her own pace and explore. You can tell from the attached pictures, we all had a great time and your babies were exhausted by the time we headed home.

See you tomorrow.

Cambria visits!

We had a special visitor! One of my friends from work brought her little girl over so her and her husband could enjoy a birthday dinner out - alone. We enjoyed having Cambria over and she is welcome back any time. She was an angel.

Remeber when....

.... Kenzie was in her brace?!?

Gosh, looking back, I hardly remember those days. What I remember most:

* The day she got it on she slept through the night.

* Not being able to give her a bath!
* Her wearing the same onesie for days straight, as it was nearly impossible to change her.
* Soaking her for HOURS the day she got it off.

* Being concerned her legs wouldn't straighten out or the indents in her legs wouldn't go away.


All of it being so short term. Look at her now.... 10 1/2 months old and WALKING! We had a follow up at Duke this morning with her Orthopedic Surgeon and he was amazed at just how much and how well she is walking.

He does want to see her back in a year before he releases her from his care - just to assure her left hip falls perfectly into place. It still sits a bit high according to the x-ray. He wants her at 100%.

Walking more than crawling.... look out.

Yup... it is official, Kenzie is walking far more than she is crawling.

I moved to SC to get away from snow! Tell Carter I will not be fishing this week. I can't get to the boat.

Finally Paid Off.

I knew eventually all the practice would pay off.... please don't report me to CPS - Carter has always been more than wiling to help out. Wonder how much that will change over the years - LOL!
