The Beach

My son is so talented...with some random

dead

sleeping person on the beach and a little sand, he created a merman holding a trident. I have been told I could be biased, but I think my son is pretty awesome. Maybe even Macgyver-ish. The random sleeping person/merman thought so too. Not to mention the little wiener dog who wanted to tinkle on the random sleeping person's/merman's head.

Welcome to the world Romeo!

A few days ago, I was blessed to be able to welcome my new nephew into the world. He was born 8/4/09, weighed 8lbs 2oz and was 20in long. If babies aren't the most precious things in the world, I don't know what are. I am graciously posting a picture so you, too, can marvel in his beauty. If the skies open up and you hear angels singing, don't be alarmed. For they are also dazzled by his new baby goodness.

Introducing...Romeo Rashaun Carter

Today was a good day

I did some things I have not done before. I went hiking. I guess it is considered hiking. I walked through some trails in the woods attempting to see some wildlife. We saw some turtles and lots of spiders, but missed out on the elusive alligators. I think they were avoiding me. I also shopped around an antique store quite a while. We inadvertently made them stay open an hour past their closing time. Oops. Sorry antique store people. But it was fun and I saw lots of neat things. I was able to share my knowledge (or lack of) Hummel ,milk glass, and Johnson Bros. china. Woot! Did I mention that I had awesome company? Yep, I did. Thanks for the great day!
