BIG DEAL

I did it. I succumbed to peer pressure and the desire to wear cute little earings and I now have two self inflicted holes in my body. Julie may call me a Pirate but I think my pierced ears are great (even though Carter may look less than impressed in this picture).

It's hard to see in this pic but there is definitely an earring there

Blessing Day

We blessed Carter this past Sunday and it was such a beautiful day - it felt like spring! All the aunt's/uncles/and cousins plus some loved extra's were able to come and we fit 3o people in our small house for the party! handsome in his blessing outfit

Here We Go

OK. So I've decided to start a blog. I'm a little bit concerned about this as I am not the most computer savvy person out their (I definitely prefer a good ol' phone call over and e-mail!). But I've been motivated by a couple reasons. They are as follows:

Allow my non-facebooking relatives to keep updated on our little guy (that is assuming they are more computer savvy than me and can actually check the blog)

I'm hoping it will motivate me to take more pictures, as I struggle with this at times

To act as sort of a photo journal (though I do keep a good old fashioned pen and paper journal)

Well there you go folks, raise your glasses, here's to me entering the virtual world of blogging! (again that is assuming I can navigate my way back to this page after I've left it!)
