All by myself

Finger Painting Fun

We thought we would share some pictures we took last night while finger painting! We had lots of fun and got really messy. Good thing we painted right before bath time! Carter is a very busy little boy. He loves to run and play with his cars and trucks. He is starting to try and build with his duplo. He is working really hard at getting the pieces to stick together. It amazes us how fast he learns and grows.
His 'musical moments' class starts on October 25th. We are excited to see how he enjoys it.
We miss everyone and hope everyone is having a great September so far!

Trucks and more trucks

Jaice took Carter down to the car show on Sunday. They had a great time together. Carter loved looking at all the wheels and expecially loved the big trucks!
We put Carter's stamps tee-shirt on him just for grandpa on Monday! Grandpa is lucky that he just looks adorable! Don't worry Rider green is still our favourite colour!
Nana and Grandpa get here on Thursday so we are looking forward to that visit!
It will be a busy weekend!
Oh and we measured Carter on his growth chart and he is 33.5 inches tall when he is standing flat footed! Our little man is growing so fast!

Time Flies!

Wow, where did August go? I haven't updated the blog in a while! We have been busy. Gran and Grandpa were here for a week in August. We had such a great visit! Carter sure loved having them here. I am back to work....well just 2 days a week. I am working while Jaice is home for now. I attempted jam for the first time ever! It was a lot of work but so worth it. My friend Rebecca and I made blackberry jam, crab apple jam, and peach jam. We also made a bunch of canned peaches. Not bad for my first time. I also made blackberry scones. Carter sure loves those. We have a huge blackberry bush in our back yard so we have been making good use of it. We have been filling all the empty spaces in the house. It is really feeling like home. I will take pictures when we are finished putting things together.
Carter has been teething like crazy. He has 3 of 4 molars in now. 3 of 4 eye teeth as well. We are looking forward to all his teeth coming through so we can have a break before his 2 year molars make an appearance! Carter is running everywhere now. We are loving the walking stage. It makes it easier now that I don't have to carry him everywhere. We are a little slower getting places but we are ok with that. He also LOVES trucks! When we are driving all we hear from the back seat is 'whoa ck ck'. We have been going to the library every week so we have a lot of truck books at home right now. He will sit and read forever if there is a truck in the book. Carter and Jaice are off to the car show in town tomorrow. They will definitely get pictures. We have been a little lacking in the picture department lately. We will take more and post more soon!
We hope everyone had a great summer. We miss everyone.
