On Oct. 19th we celebrated Christian's 30th birthday! We began the celebration the weekend before with a trip to Scottsburg. My best friends from high school/college-Hannah, Stephanie, and Erin were all in town...it was the first time we had all been together in about 4 or 5 years. We enjoyed Lon's doughnuts (only a Scottsburgian would understand), lunch at Hancock's drug store, and plenty of laughs and memories. It is a blessing to have friends who are always the same-no matter how far apart you live from them or how long it has been-you pick up right where you left off. My parents took Christian, Carter, and I out later that evening for birthday shopping and dinner at Texas Roadhouse. It was a really good time. Monday I took the day off to spend with Christian on his birthday. We took little Carter to day care and began the day with me getting the H1N1 vaccine! :-) We had breakfast at Denny's (not many choices in Vincennes), went shopping around town, took naps, and had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings. We also were able to finish Lainee's room. All Christian really wanted to do on his birthday was go see a movie...unfortunately there were no afternoon movies playing before we would need to pick Carter up from daycare...so we had a babysitter this past Friday and went to see "The Stepfather" to complete his birthday wish! :-)
We had a major prayer request answered...we found a home for our cats Abby and Oliver! My cousin Carin took them in and it seems to be working out wonderfully! We hated to give the cats up (we had gotten Oliver about a week after we got married) but we knew that with the baby coming we weren't going to be able to give them the attention they needed. It still is a little quiet in the house without them, but we know that Carin is giving them a great home and lots of love!

Carter's first black eye...he fell on a toy at Daycare (although Daddy likes to tell everyone Carter was wrestling a grizzly bear)
Carter grabbed one of his towels and put it over his head...looks like a superhero!
I walked in Carter's room to check on him before we went to bed and found this sight...he sure loves his teddy bear!
Mimi Blome was getting ready to go on a trip and was borrowing some of our luggage...Carter was all about getting into the suitcase and playing so Daddy decided to take him on a little ride!

Carter after eating some spaghetti-oh...the joys of self feeding!

Cute pictures!! Carter is getting so big. We can't wait to meet Miss Lainee! The nursery looks awesome. I told Scottie it makes me feel bad for Avery. The only thing she got was a new blanket. Hopefully she can have her own room next year and will do a better job of decorating. Maybe you guys can give us some tips!! :) Hope the next few weeks go by smoothly!
The nursery looks amazing!!! Nice job on the stripes!! I'm glad you got to have a little reunion trip to Scottsburg! Sounds like a lot of fun! Carter is so big and handsome...it's incredible how quickly they grow up! Can't wait to see Lainee!
