Hey! This isn't my bottle! But... I like it! Sorry for the long time between posts. We took a little time off from our normal routine and went up to Chicago, and then spent a few days visiting family in Indiana. Grandpa Greg and I shared the backseat with Carter on the way to the airport on our return trip and we kept him happy by slipping various objects into his seat for him to play with. What do you think... should Pepsi sign him on as their primary spokesbaby? That 6-12 month market is a hard one to crack and he could be key...
Everything came up roses in Chicago, where Cierra went for a four-day training session. She is now just 2 supervised 12 -week courses (which she will teach) from being an officially certified teacher in the Bradley Method. This is a husband coached, natural method of childbirth. Carter came along to be near the food supply, and I came along to wrangle Carter so Cierra could pay attention in class. I expected to be in the class only when I had to bring Carter in for a meal, then spend the rest of the time in the hotel room. However, the presentation was fun and interesting, and I got to listen to a lot of it too. I left even happier than before that we chose to take Bradley Method classes before Carter's birth... and for those of you out there that are expecting, you really do owe it to yourselves to check out your options and the pros and cons of different ways of managing the process of birth. 
Hey Dad! Enough about all that boring stuff. People come to this blog to find out what's going on with me. Now spill it!
Well, of course Carter's time was at a premium while we were in Indiana. Here, Great Grandma Bardonner lets him play with her watering can. She may have spilled some Miracle-Gro on him, because he continues to grow like a weed.
Great Grandpa Rich and Second Cousin Kara get a little face time with Carter. This is right after our tour of Grandpa's turnip patch, where we pulled out several turnips about as big as Carter's head!
Carter brings the happy no matter where he goes. Even though Aunt Kaelie wasn't here to see him this trip, he's wearing her school's gear for her!
We made a quick stop in Lafayette to meet up with Uncle Krin and his girlfriend Rachel. This was our first time getting to meet Rachel after hearing about her for more than a year. We had high expectations from all of the praise everyone had for her... and we're happy to say that she exceeded them. They are a cute couple... and with Carter in the picture there may just be too much cute there for our camera to handle. Or maybe too much flash. 
Pbbbbt. Come on, let's finish this up Dad. I'm a motorboat with other places to be. 
Okay, okay. But before we go, just one more picture of Carter bundled up for the colder weather. He still helps me in the garden, but now he needs an extra layer or tw-
Blah, blah, blah. Dad, nobody cares about your garden and the cold weather. I can see I'll have to write this next time. Carter Out!
