Antigua - We're Here!

Everything is going great yet very emotional. I really, really miss Carson - that is the only thing that makes this trip not perfect... I will write more once I return to the states.

Happy Birthday recap and snip, snip

Saturday we had a wonderful time at Carson's birthday party. He received a lot of fun toys from family and friends; horse truck and trailer, CAT dump truck, block truck, big wheel with sounds, puzzles and clothes. Carson had a blast playing with everyone and of course he was the center of attention.

Sunday evening my parents, Tracey, Levin and Jonathan came over for dinner. After dinner we all enjoyed (except for Tracey), ice cream birthday cake from Carson's party. A family evening get together is not complete without a competitive game on the Wii.

Today Carson was circumcised at Children's Hospital ( yep, two days after his birthday). The physicians and nurses were excellent. Carson did very well until the last dose of medication. He had a reaction to the medication which caused him to be completely out of control. He screamed, yelled, kicked, bit, cried, had trouble getting his breath. After 30 minutes of wildness Carson finally settled down. Thank goodness my Essie (my mom) was with me. She was a great help. Carson has to keep the treatment on for three days. He can not run, jump, straddle any of his toys for 2 weeks. Oh- its going to be a long two weeks!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Carson

Dear Carson,
It's hard for me to believe you are 2 already. You have brought so much joy to me and our family. Your smile illuminates the room and our hearts. You are growing so fast and you are a delight to watch as you play and explore the world around you. Thank you, God, for blessing us with an amazing child. Please bless his birth mother this day and give her joy, peace, and comfort.
I love you sweet baby boy.

Guess who...

turns TWO tomorrow?

Summer 2008

I can not believe I am typing Happy Labor day. What the heck happened to summer? Did I blink too long? Despite how fast summer went, Carson and I had a wonderful time. We really enjoyed the warm weather and sunny days. We made great memories, met some awesome people, rode many rides on the boardwalk, ate way too many curly fries, swam, celebrated birthdays and spent quality time with family.
