January 15th... where does the time go?

First of all, just in case you guys think I'm a totally slacker for not updating the blog in over a month (35 days), take a look at the blogs of friends and family -
1. The Beck Blog, last updated August 22, 2006, (UPDATE: Beck Blog updated as of January 16th...nothing like a little shame to get someone to do something!)
2. My friend Meredith's Blog, last updated July 22, 2006, and finally
3. The Redneck Blog, last updated June 25, 2006...come on Bren, can't you put something on there about 24 at least?

Just kidding guys, your blogs look GREAT!

Here are a few new pictures of the "Carson's" together...one from today and one from last month...they have so much fun playing together! We are so thankful for the friendship we have with the Beck family.

From today, January, 15th...they were both out of "school" so we had lunch together and a playdate. The later part of the play date turned into watching Teletubbies since Avery was asleep in Carson Winn's bed!

Being fireman in December...


And finally, a few from Christmas 2006. Carson was thrilled with his tricycle.

With Uncle "T"
And the whole family...it just doesn't seem the same without Maggie.

Ho Ho Ho!

Carson has been to see Santa twice this year and both times he jumped right up on his lap and started talking to him. (No, this doesn't surprise me!) The most recent visit was last weekend when Santa came to our Resident's Club. Carson had been practicing talking to Santa and asking for one train but when the time finally came he decided to go for broke and asked for "two trains"!

Now Carson Beck, as many of you know, has a totally different personality than Carson Winn, I think this photo of Carson and his 1 year old sister, Avery says it all. Merry Christmas!

It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas...

This past weekend our home was featured in the Westhaven Holiday Home tour to benefit Mercy Children's Clinic. It was great to see so many of our neighbors and others come out for such a wonderful cause. Now for those of you who haven't ever opened your home for a home tour, it's kind of like having it on the market for sale where everything needed to be perfect. We only allowed people to walk through the first level of our home and tour the newly completed courtyard. I was thrilled when it was over so I could open my closets and let everything fall out :o) Here are a few pictures from the event.
