I PROMISE that I am a better mother than I am a blogger! We are enjoying Carter more and more every day and are trying to expose him to as much fun as we possibly can. We stayed busy this fall with a week-long visit from Cory’s 5 year-old cousin Lily, the Dallas Arboretum, the State Fair, and a visit to the Pumpkin Patch.



For Halloween, Carter decided to be an elephant. And he was CLEARLY, the cutest elephant ever! We trick-or-treated at Mimi & Papa’s, Grandaddy Vick’s, and at a few houses in the neighborhood. Since Carter has become shy lately, we had to improvise with stroller-trick-or-treating, as Carter had no interest in walking up to strangers to get candy! But, he was sweet enough to share his loot with Harold.


The day after Halloween was beautiful, so we decided to make another family trip to the Dallas Arboretum. We have really become fans and will enjoy our newly purchased “Family Pass” for many trips in the future.


Carter is such a happy kiddo and adjusts to whatever we throw at him!
