Carter's Blessing

Brooklyn and I just got back from our second trip to Bakersfield in 6 weeks. We went to see my new nephew, Carter, be blessed. We flew JetBlue and Brooklyn was surprisingly good on both flights. She has now been on 18 flights and turned 17 months old today. We flew in to Long Beach on Thursday the 5th and went and visited my grandparents in Palos Verdes. It had been way too long since we'd seen them. I'm kicking myself for not getting a four generation picture. Actually, I didn't even bring my camera! But that's nothing new, I guess. We had a fun trip. I got to see my long-time friend, Amanda. We looked at model homes, went to Costco, shopped at Kohl's, looked for jobs for Jason, babysat Carter, babysat Lucy, toured Dad's new office, went to Ranch Market, ate out at Flame & Skewer (so good!), went shopping and to lunch with Katy, had FHE, played with the dog, made Zuppa Toscana, made a donut run, talked, watched TV, etc. Nice, low-key, and relaxing. Brooklyn even learned some new words! (peekaboo, cheese, fish, and meow) We did get the kid's pictures taken. We wanted one of the two girls together. We have learned that when Brooklyn gets nervous, she puts her hands in her mouth. Usually it's to chew on her fingernails. She did NOT learn that from me. Anyway, it makes picture taking difficult. We did manage to get at least one good one, which is all that we were really going for. So get ready for the barrage of photos!

Here's Carter, the man of the hour, in his blessing outfit

And here are the girls! There is nothing I don't like about this picture, I think it is PERFECT!! Time to print it out and get it framed!

Oh, and let's just forget about that whole "barrage of photos" thing for now. David took the pictures for us with his professional camera, so each file is really big. I either have to put up each picture one by one or reformat them. Don't really have time right now. So enjoy these two and I'll put up more when I get a chance. Feel free to save the two girls as your desktop background. =) Aren't they adorable?!

Those two girls together are absolutely adorable. I can't believe how much hair they both have! That seriously must have come from your mom's side of the family (or your husbands I guess) because STILL Brooklyn looks like she is three with a full beautiful head of hair and Ava is bald.
