Memorial Day Weekend

Every holiday this past year  has been extra special for us 

because each has been the first with our baby boy. 

 

 

It occurred to us today 

that this is Carter's very last 

first holiday.

 

We had a busy weekend

and Carter's regular schedule

was disrupted quite a bit,

but thankfully he did really great!

 

We had a bunch of mulch delivered

on Saturday morning and luckily Carter

was happy to play in the yard most of the day,

allowing BOTH Mommy and Daddy

to work in the flower beds.

  

Then on Sunday he spent lots of time in his stroller,

so we could keep on working.  

When we went in for lunch,

Carter stood at the kitchen door

and watched Michael mow almost

the entire back lawn.

He would get all excited and

start dancing around on his toes

every time Mike came toward the door. 

And he'd start crying every time

he went the other direction. 

This boy sure loves his daddy.

Maybe it's because his daddy 

pretty much gives him

whatever he wants.

Hey, Dad!  Can you open the fridge for me?

This door, too.  And leave them open for as long as I want.

This is the Best.  Morning.  Ever!!!

Today we ended the weekend with a picnic.

We took some pictures before we left,

to commemorate Carter's last first holiday.

Remembering all the brave men and women

who have given their lives in service to our country.

Happy Memorial Day!
