Auntie Jennie is REALLY silly. She put a SPOON in Carolyn's toes!

Meeting Mom and Dad's Good Friends
While we were back in Illinois, Carolyn got to meet some of the Greenville college groupies. We had a good time with Jodie. We baked cookies, and sat around, and just enjoyed one another.
Kyle and Sarah came and spent a WHOLE WEEKEND with us (Delightful!). We also ate, and hung out, and of course there had to be some trivial pursuit time. Carolyn teamed up with Sarah to convince Kyle that 2008 is a really long time to wait for someone as lovable as a baby. I'm not sure he's convinced.
And I had to throw one in of Carolyn with her bunny.

Dust Bunnies...
Oh my... a Mommy phenomenon I sure never anticipated. Miss Carolyn gets these funny little things between her fingers and toes. I guess they are probably dead skin and fuzzies from her outfit and other cloth that she comes in contact with. They look like really, really small dust bunnies... Very strange.

Shake Rattle and Roll Over!!!
Ms. Carolyn is just growing like mad over here. She's so big, and so strong, and doing so much. Today she rolled over BY HERSELF. She'd landed on her belly before with a little nudge from me, but today it was ALL HER. She did it three or four times. Once she'd be up on her belly... well... the girl wanted to GO! She was trying SO HARD to crawl. You think I'm nuts. You think it's too early for her even to think of it. No... the girl wanted to crawl. I'm not sure but what she may be creeping soon. She still needs some more arm strength, but she's pushing hard with her little legs.
Even crazier (to me at least, maybe all kids do this), she bears weight on her legs. She loves to stand up. And if you hold her little arms, she'll actually walk her little feet forward.
She's growing so fast... She'll be three months tomorrow.
My baby can roll over!!!

An FYI
This isn't my only Blog... I have a rougher kind of get-it-out type blog that I'd only gone public with anonymously before. It talks more about the deeper issues afoot right now. Feel free to check it out if you wish, or don't.

Cousins
While we were back we got to visit with Andy's sister, Crystal, and her family. My nephews are getting SO VERY BIG!!!
There and Back Again
Well... If anyone is still reading after that long absence, I hope you'll enjoy the photos below. Carolyn and I spent the last month at first home with Gramma and Grandpa. Carolyn FINALLY got to meet her Gramma Caro, and also her Gramma K and some other special people.
Gramma Caro and Grampy Frank have of course spoiled her rotten already. They got her the coolest swing and bouncey seat ever and she just loved them.
Carolyn is also doing lots of fun new things. She talks A LOT now. I just love to hear her voice. She is working really hard on rolling over, and she is spending more and more time on her tummy (and learning slowly to enjoy that). She has grown SOO much.
It was good for us to be at first home, and good for my folks as well. I think Carolyn is the best medicine in the world for my Mama. Daddy said the other day that Carolyn was a 'very inspirational baby.' He's right. She helps us all to remember joy and hope and laughter--even on the toughest of days.
For now, Carolyn and I are back visiting with Andy. It was a difficult thing leaving to come back here, but now that we're here I see how very much we both needed to come back. Andy and Carolyn have taken right back up again. He makes her giggle more than anybody else in the world can. She just loves her Daddy. It is good for my heart for us to be the three of us for just a little while again.
We'll be back to first home in just two weeks, and then we'll be there at least until the end of Andy's time this go-around being a 'sailing sailor.'
Depending on when and if we get a new USB cable, there may be more pictures coming soon.
