Our Day at the Discovery Science Center

One of the exhibits was "The Science of Gingerbread."  Carter made a gingerbread racecar and was first place in his heat.  This was his favorite part of the day, mostly because he got to eat the car parts, including the marshmallows.  The apple doesn't fall far from the tree :-)

Photos from Zach's Birthday Weekend

As a special birthday treat, Carter took A BUNCH of photos with Daddy (OK, well 3).  But, as you might notice, it's a rare sight to see a photo of Carter and Daddy together. 

There's that Mickey again :-)

Our Visit to Santa This Year

Carter was "a little shy" - and only broke down after he jumped off Santa's lap.  He held it together long enough to make eye contact, but Mom had to be his spokesperson and relay the message that he had been a good boy, and again, would like a trash truck!  As you can see from past visits, we consider this year a success.  Campbell was great!!!

Holiday Sing-Along

Carter's annual holiday concert was this week.  He did fantastic - standing front and center, singing LOUD AND PROUD to some of his favorites including "Holly Jolly Christmas," "The Hannukah Song," and "12 Days of Christmas."

Look closely and you can see 5 GOLDEN RINGS!!!

I wanna be a supermodel!

We can officially say Campbell started her modeling career at 3 months old!  Today is the annual arts & crafts show at daycare.  I received this text message photo from one of our favorite teachers while at work.  Campbell was selected to be the headband model.  Classic.

It's the most wonderful time...of the year!

He actually had to be bribed to smile for this photo.  He did NOT want to pick out a Christmas tree!

Campbell's First Day of School :-)

Friday is "Freeze Dance Day" at Pre-School

Of course, Carter LOVES it.  Girlfriend, Genny, right by his side, as usual!!!

Sweet girl!

She played her little heart out!
