Holidays

Our good friend Mike is Commander of the Lightning Troop... The shirt is supposed to read after Mommy but I thought this was funny. We are very proud of Mike and are very sad he left right before Carson as born so he couldn't meet him. We are very glad Mike and Camille are a part of his life and look forward to introducing him to Mike when he is State Side.

Last weekend I made Chase drag all of the decorations out of the attic. For the first time that I can remember I am excited about Christmas and couldn't wait to put our tree up for Carson's first Christmas. My mom came down for the weekend and helped me get the decorations up and ornaments on the tree! I'm very glad because it probably would have been another week or two before I would have it done!

Carson loves looking at the pretty lights! I'm so glad that Chase and I decided to get a tree with colorful lights when we bought our tree!

We are looking forward to Thanksgiving this Thursday. We have so much to be thankful for as we are very blessed. We aren't going to go home this year instead it will just be the 3 of us. We are going to have a good meal, put Christmas lights up outside and make a gingerbread house!

Smily Baby

This week our sweet baby has begun smiling a lot more! Chase and I have had the best weekend with Smiling at him and getting him to react! Carson also started following me around the room and responding to our voices. I tried to upload a video and will try again later to get it to work but it is beyond sweet!

He is continuing to grow everyday and I am amazed how quickly he is picking up new things! He is gaining great control over his head and getting pretty close to rolling over!

Fall Time!

As always we have been super busy. This past weekend we went to Dallas to hang out with some friends and Carson got to spend some time with his Grandparents. I think they enjoyed having him around (though he'll be a lot more fun when he does more tricks!)

Two weeks ago Carson caught a cold and quickly passed it to me. We both recovered (or so we thought) then I caught strep last week! Our adjustment to me going back to work has been kinda crazy with trying to get into a routine while managing sickness. Keeping up with things around the house has been a big challenge but Chase has stepped up and helped us a lot! We are very lucky to have all his help!

Last week Chase turned 27! Of course his birthday dinner was ruined by my being in bed sick but luckily an amazing friend went out to dinner with him and I was able to take him out this weekend once I was feeling better! Carson and I made him this card and he said it was his favorite card he had ever gotten! I think it's probably because Carson helped make it!
