Hello?...HI!

That is all we have to say to Carter and he has his "phone" up to his "ear." I don't know where he has learned this from because I NEVER talk on the phone.

Sorry about the lack of posts. We have been pretty busy with house stuff. We just had a big evergreen tree taken out of our front yard today and so it's probably about time we move from fixing up the inside of the house to fixing up the outside. Does it ever end?

Carter talking on the phone.

You would think that Carter is holding the phone too far back, but in fact, Carter can also hear with his shoulder blades.

I know, so many of my posts have pictures dealing with food. What can I say? We love to EAT!

We did fondue for family home evening last week. Carter was diggin' the chocolate! That's my boy!

Olivia at least got a serving of fruit with her fondue dipping!

Olivia has a boyfriend

I asked Olivia this week if she had a boyfriend and she replied that Carter was her boyfriend. How sweet! Carter is learning so much lately. He pulls up to everything - the blinds, tables, computer desk, lamps. Anything and nearly everything that he shouldn't be allowed to touch. He definitely keeps me more on my toes than Olivia ever did. I sometimes feel like I'm a first time mom again. Carter even learned his first (well, second if you count him waving "bye, bye") sign yesterday. He can now sign "more" when he wants more food (usually cheerios). After he signs it, he immediately has to cheer for himself.

Olivia is growing up too! She loves to do worksheets in her learning books.

Nothing on Olivia's blue table is safe anymore. Just last night he snatched Olivia's scissors off the table and took off with them. Of course, Olivia was quick to chase him down and make him very upset when she snatched them back.

I don't know that Carter has the same feelings for Olivia though.

Olivia must have learned this from an old friend (Robyn:). She covered the fireplace with blankets and pillows "so that Carter wouldn't scratch his fingers."

Olivia had her first swim lessons this week. She loved it!

I learned something from and old friend too...my kids aren't too young for corn on the cob! It was such a new and fun thing to try. Olivia had almost two whole cobs for dinner that night.

Carter wanted to just eat the entire cob.
