Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from Carson Bennett Winn!!!
Carson enjoyed his first experience trick or treating although it was very short lived. He only went to two houses. I love this picture of him walking up the walk for the first time in his costume. He was so excited that when he dropped his bag he didn't even notice it. As you can see, Carson was a frog and Maggie was a construction worker. After all these years of dressing up, Maggie still hates it! Carson did enjoy creating the trick or treaters at our house. Carson Beck (aka, "the other Carson") came over for a few hours and the boys had fun playing.

A very SICK month...

Sickness hit the Winn family hard this month. First Carson came down with croup which turned into an ear infection which finally turned into pneumonia! We spent one night at Vanderbilt Children's hospital a few weeks ago. As you will see in the attached pictures (from my camera phone), Carson and I slept together in his baby crib. He's really become attached to his mama these past few weeks. Carson is finally on the road to recovery. His doctor suggested keeping him home from day care this week just to make sure his immune system was better before exposing him to more "daycare" germs. Carson takes a breathing treatment every four hours to help keep his lungs clear.


This week, as I was off taking care of Carson, I got sick too. I just knew I had the flu and there wasn't much that could be done about it but after a few days of still feeling bad, I finally went to the doctor and boy and I'm glad I did. I had strep throat, an ear infection in both ears, and PINK EYE. And at some point while all of this was going on, Jason was sick with an ear infection too. Whew, I'm glad this month is almost over!!!

The "other" Carson turns 1 too!

As most of you know, Carson Bennett Winn (CBW) has a friend named Carson Bradley Beck (CBB) and they were born on the same day at the same hospital! Well, since it was CBW's first birthday, it was also CBB's first birthday and the boys attended each other's parties and had a blast! At CBW's party, Jason's neice Caroline arrived and I introduced her to the "other" Carson which was CBB and she said, "where is the REAL Carson?" Too cute! So, based on this "other" Carson joke, CBW wore a name tag to CBB's party that said "I'm the other Carson!" Here are a few pictures of the boys having fun!
