Another River Birthday

We headed back to the river for a beautiful fall weekend to celebrate Carter's big 2. 

 Luckily, this time Marni came too.

There were some good walks around the island.

More of Carter's favorite aquatic hobby

Horsing around with Grandad

And of course there was lots of playing down at the dock

(The little guy has gotten to like his life jacket - thankfully)

Of course there were some presents like a great book from Aunt Jenn

and some cool trucks from Gram and Grandad

Overall I think he was pretty satisfied

Oh, and did I mention the cake?  He was a little daunted by the number of candles. 

(If they keep doubling like this we'll be in trouble...)

It took some help to get them all blown out

But after that, Carter knew just where to put things

Once he got his piece, it was gone.

Fork - Schmork!

Thanks to everyone for making this another great birthday!

Gone To The River

Real post coming soon...

First Bike Ride

Carter and Mimi went for their first bike ride yesterday.

Fending for Ourselves

This is a test of blogging from my phone, so if anything is wonky, I'll try to fix it...

Brian's teaching out of town this week so Carter's my copilot. This is a quick on just to let you know that carter said his first three word sentence the other day: "more eat cake."

Then, last night he was in the bath and pouring water on a mosquito bite on his leg. He clearly said, "agua on my booboo." Then he got all confused and started babbling and put all the syllables in a different order. Hopefully his language skills are going to start coming on strong now.
