Cherry Blossoms

Here are some pics from our trip to the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens to see the beautiful cherry blossoms!

Carousel

We took Carter for his first carousel ride in Prospect Park this weekend. He wasn't totally sure about it, but overall, he seemed to enjoy it.

Cart Cart and Nonna

Carter and Donna visited us this weekend. I'll post pictures of our adventures later this week, but here are some of the best group shots of the weekend.

Chores

This isn't exactly what I envisioned when I have said that we could use a little help around the house.

Baby Faces

Just in case you needed a baby fix.

And yes, you can follow the progression of the facial injuries in these pics.

Arkansas Trip Part II

It was great to see all the improvements that mom and dad have made at the cabin.

On Sunday we took a stroll through the much improved Little Rock Zoo.

Patrick and Kirstin had great wedding showers.

And it was nice to see so family and friends that we hadn't seen in far too long.

Arkansas Trip Part I

First of all, a big thanks to Delta at Atlanta Hartsfield Airport. Both ways we were able to find a jungle gym in the terminal for Carter to burn off some energy.

And then there was more fun to be had at Mama Helen and Daddy Phil's house. This toy was a particularly big hit.

As was the rocking chair that was mine when I was little.

Carter and Esther got along famously. He liked her kisses.


She liked his food.

Home

Carter and I made it back to New York safely and on time tonight. Sorry that I didn't manage to get to a computer while we were gone. More detail and pictures will have to wait until another day because I'm headed back to the airport at 6am for a quick business trip to DC. I'll try to post pics of our trip tomorrow night.

Arrived

Carter and I arrived safely in Little Rock this morning. Traveling alone with him on my lap wasn't too bad - thanks to the fact that both flights were mostly empty so we had entire rows to ourselves.

We are headed to the cabin for two nights and then will be back here for two nights before heading home on Sunday. I forgot the cord to download pics from my camera, but I'll try to post some pics this weekend from my mom's camera.

I'm pretty excited to be going to the cabin - I haven't been in over a year and a half and Carter has never been (unless you count the embryonic state).

Another Beautiful Day

We spent most of the day enjoying the weather in our back yard.

Carter explored the yard (and tried to eat many things that he shouldn't).

I have some flowers blooming!
The boys in their matching caps.
Carter still likes grilled meat.
And he still thinks he'd like beer.
