This and That

My apologies for the blog hiatus. I guess there hasn't been anything that seemed particularly blog-worthy going on lately. We enjoyed a nice weekend of SEC football and time with friends.

Playing with the football in anticipation of a big Tide victory

Carter and I went to a birthday party for a little girl across the street on Sunday. He was so fun to watch. Although it was a one-year-old birthday party, the honoree has two older siblings, so most of the party-goers were older. I don't think anyone bothered to tell Carter, he was right there with everyone else. He was climbing all over riding toys, kicking the ball, pushing trucks, and playing with toys. We got to tie-dye t-shirts as our favor, and while the "big kids" got all day suckers for a treat, Carter got a ball--and couldn't have been happier!


After the birthday party, we headed over to Haley & James' house to watch the Giants game (James is a native NYer). It was great to spend time with them and Carter loved having yet another house to explore. Once he finally figured out how to get from the dining room into the kitchen without tripping over the ledge in the floor at the doorway, he was off and running.

Now, we are back into our weekday routine, and Carter's teacher told me that he is doing really well at school. He has gotten past crying when I drop him off, and she told me that he is really getting a hang of the routine and rarely cries at all during the day! Yea! (wish I could say the same about me at work...just kidding...kind of...)


On a separate note, I have been turned on to Goo.gle Read.er, which has transformed my blog reading experience. It makes blog perusing much more efficient for me, which is key. I love to keep up with everyone...but sometimes I just don't feel like I can invest the time in searching to see who has updated. Goo.gle read.er does that for me. The only problem is that I feel like a bad blogging friend because I don't think you can comment from Goo.gle Read.er. So, if any of you are more savvy than I and know if you can or how to comment from there, please share. And for all of you...know that I am reading, even if I might not be commenting as often. I'll make it back around to commenting...probably on the weekend, during naptime, if I forgo a shower...
