Carson is enjoying his first “beach” experience. This resort has an awesome pool with a little sandy area next to the pool, and then it is like a ramp into the water, so my sweet boy can crawl right in. Sounds good, eh? Carson getting himself into the water? Um, not so good because at 9 months he isn’t smart enough to know to *stop* when his mouth starts to go under water. So Carson at the pool/beach involves a lot of us laughing, then grabbing him and moving him to shallower water, over & over again.
So – I have …

We spent New Years Day 2010 watching football. Unfortunately for us, Rick was watching football with us again this year.

After a great dinner, we rocked out to Rock Band…at …

February – Mallory’s first ski trip – she loved it (I think we still need to post the video…hint, hint, RB)
March – Arlo’s due date came and went…
April – Arlo was born and Mallory got a baby brother!

Chain Chain Chain
Can you see the paper chain on my Christmas tree in this picture?
It’s sort of hard to see, so I’ll share another non-artistic picture so you can see it better:
There are two chains – a really long one and a short one.
I had a very special paper-chain maker this year:
I am so proud of my crafty little girl. I only had to show her once how to use the glue stick and to put the paper together and she came out with 15-piece chain for our tree.
Markers are for paper
After months of getting Ms drawn on her hands (for Michigan and for Mallory), Mallory started putting her own block Ms on her hands:
But when Mallory did this:

Markers are for PAPER, not for hands.
