Rain boots, puppy pajamas, and monkey "backpack"
I was busy packing for Mexico today and Carter kept busy by playing dress-up. He was thrilled when I got out his yellow rain roots and monkey (leash) "backpack." He insisted on wearing them the rest of the morning.

Season's Greeting Everyone!
These pictures are from last Christmas in Mexico.
Hello!
Here in our Home we are busy as can be. Carter is his usual busy self, emptying everything from his toy box, the book shelves, the shoe basket, the video cabinet, and the list goes on. We are busy chasing after him and cleaning up his messes. We are also getting ready for Christmas. We've had fun having Uncle Joe, Aunt Claudia, and Brad here a few times this week for dinner since they are at the peak of a kitchen remodel. Their girls come home tomorrow night and then Grandma and Grandpa H and Jon, Monica (Joe & Claudia's oldest), and little Pratt arrive Friday. Saturday morning, we leave for Mexico!!! In addition to laundry, packing, and sorting out the menu for Mexico (we will be taking in all of our own food and taking turns preparing meals), we are trying to get Christmas cards sent, gifts wrapped, and ends tied up. And we're trying to keep the house clean-ish in the process, well, at least the rooms people see!
As things get busier every day, we are trying to remember our Savior and remember to celebrate his birth, as that's truly what Christmas is about! We hope that you all have a Merry, Merry Christmas wherever you are, whatever you are doing, and even though it's the busiest time of the year!

Jambas in Jammies
One of Carter's latest obsessions is drinking smoothies. We used to make smoothies at home a lot (pre-Carter). Then, our blender went bad. We haven't had one now since we moved to our new place about nine months ago. So when a new Jamba Juice popped up down the street, and they sent out coupons for free smoothies, we took the bait. They have continued to give us free coupons! Carter LOVES smoothies. I love that he loves them. He even started saying "umba" and sucks them down like it's going out of style! We are out of free Jamba coupons now, so I think we will have to bite the bullet and buy a blender!

Our Little Busy Body at Work
Carter loves shoes. On this particular day, Carter found an empty laundry basket in the living room and decided to first empty all of the shoes from the entryway shoe basket into the laundry basket, and then to empty the laundry basket into the hallway. Whatever keeps you busy and happy little guy!

In Remembrance and Honor of Aunt Marcia
This picture was taken on Thanksgiving last year, Nov. 23, 2006. It is of Carter and my Aunt Marcia. Aunt Marcia passed away this week. Marcia, my mother's only sister, had endured many earthly trials and we are so thankful that she no longer will have to suffer physically. However, we will miss her presence greatly here on this earth. I had to write a paper once about "my hero" as a child. I chose to write about Aunt Marcia. She has endured so very much, all the while having such a positive attitude and every single day striving to serve others in everything she did. She truly was a Christlike example to me. What an amazing woman. We've never doubted that, of all people, Marcia will definitely be in a better place now. She's always been an angel to us!
Marcia's obituary can be found here: http://www.legacy.com/heraldextra/Obituaries.asp?Page=Lifestory&PersonId=99393382
