CARTER'S 4TH OF JULY PICTURES

THIS REALLY COOL THING HAPPENED AT THE END OF MAY WE GOT THIS PHONE CALL FROM KIDDIE KANDIDS TELLING US THAT CARTERS' PICTURES FROM LAST YEAR WERE CHOOSEN TO BE DISPLAYED AT SOME OF THE STUDIOS PLUS GAVE US A GIFT CERTIFICATE FOR FREE PICTURES, THEY SHOULD BE UP BE THE END OF JULY SO YOU'LL HAVE TO GO CHECK THEM OUT. SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN TO DO SOME 4TH OF JULY PICT. BECAUSE WE ARE DOING SOME FAMILY/MATERNITY PICTURES THIS MONTH. HE LOVES GETTING HIS PICTURES TAKEN

CARTER AND AMETHYST HAVING FUN IN THE WATER

Daddy's shoes

CARTER LOVES TO PUT JASON'S SHOES ON
AND TRY TO WALK IN THEM IT'S SO CUTE!

WE DECIDED

SINCE THERE

JUST A FEW MORE

WEEKS BEFORE THE

NEW BABY IS HERE,

TO GET CARTER A BIG

BOY BED AND DRESSER

AND TAKE DOWN THE

CRIB. HE HAS DONE A

REALLY GOOD JOB AJUSTING

TO THE NEW BED. THE FIRST

FEW DAYS HE WOULDN'T STAY

IN BED ALL NIGHT, BUT HE IS DOING

GREAT NOW. IT'S BEEN LIKE THREE

WEEKS NOW, WE ARE SO PROUD OF

HIM. I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED DECORATING

HIS ROOM.

WE WERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE FOR A WEEK
JUST MY PARENTS AND I, WE DID A LOT OF
FUN THINGS WHILE WE WERE THERE LIKE
VISITING WITH THE WARD FAMILY, WENT
TO BURLINGTON VERMONT TO THE ECO CENTER
ON LAKE CHAMPLAIN, IT WAS SUCH A NICE DAY
AFTER THE ECO CENTER CLOSED WE JUST RELAXED
BY THE LAKE AND LET THE KIDS PLAY IN THE WATER.
WE ALSO WENT TO THE BEN AND JERRY'S FACTORY
YUMMY AND TO THE SIMON PERICE GLASS BLOWING
STORE. IT WAS REALLY AMAZING TO WATCH THEM BLOW
GLASS INTO BEAUTIFUL PIECES OF ART, WE DIDN'T BUY ANY
THING IT WAS CRAZY EXPENSIVE LIKE 25 BUCKS FOR ONE
TEA CANDLE HOLDER. BUT IT WAS STILL NEAT TO SEE. WE
ALSO EAT AT LOU'S CAFE IN HANOVER . MY BROTHER IN-LAW
WORKS AT DARTMOUTH UNIVERSITY. IT WAS A REALLY FUN RELAXING TRIP
BUT I REALLY MISSED JASON AND CARTER.

SUCH A

SWEET HEART

ALL SUGGLED UP

TO GRANDMA

THIS IS ONE OF THE MANY COVERED BRIDGES IN
VERMONT IT IS THE LONGEST BRIDGE THAT IS STILL IN USE.
A CALF AT THE SUGAR BUSH FARM IN VERMONT. IT WAS KINDA
A DIVE BUT THE MAPLE SYRUP WAS THE BEST YUMMY. WE SAMPLED
SO CHEESE THERE TO.
