Summer 2011

Well it has been a LONG time, but I am here to post tons of pictures. I have been back at school now for about a month and it has been an adjustment seeing how I was off for 5 months. Colbie is growing like a weed and Layne is getting more and more crazy every day. We had a great summer of going to the park, gymnastics, The Children's Museum, and just having fun around the house. Here are some pics of it all...

CHILDREN'S MUSEUM

A couple of weeks ago Jason and I left Colbie with my parents and took Layne to the Children's Museum in Indy. She loved it, but not as much as her dad I don't think.

SISTERLY LOVE

Here is Layne reading to Colbie out of the bible...

It would be great if you could get a good pic of both of them!

On the train at Columbian Park.

COLBIE MAE

Colbie is not near the tiny little baby that Layne was. She is in about the 50th percentile for weight and 90th for height. Layne never made it past the 5th percentile for weight until just recently. It is amazing she is 5 months already. Check out what a big girl she is.

LAYNE ADDISON

To say Layne is crazy is an understatement. She has her moments of being totally rotten, but she also can be hilarious. Here are some of her crazy moments....

Grandma bought her some shoes that she won't take off.

Layne always puts something over her lip and says "Hi, I'm Poppy" because my dad (Poppy) has a mustache.

MOMMY AND DADDY WITH OUR GIRLS

These girls sure keep us busy, but man do we love them!

Do they look alike or what?

GYMNASTICS

This summer a friend of mine asked if anyone wanted to join her and her son at gymnastics and I thought why not. Layne LOVES going and we just started the fall session. Here she is in action...

PURDUE PETE FINDS HIS HAMMER

Layne has the book Purdue Pete Finds His Hammer and I thought we should go over to Purdue and find the places that are in the book. We had a lot of fun going to the fountains, the clock tower, and eating at Pappy's. Layne, of course, loved playing in the fountain.

Hopefully it won't take me as long to keep this blog up next time. :)

Colbie Mae Carter....and other pictures

Well I am long over due for a post on here so here it goes. Colbie was born on April 2nd and weighed in at 8lb 4oz. That was almost 2 pounds more than Layne was. As you can tell by this first picture she looked huge! Ha! She was quite swollen in this first picture because she doesn't look that way any more. We went for her 2 week check up and she is in the 50th percentile for weight and 95th for length. We could tell she was super long because she is already outgrowing her newborn clothes. That is far different from her big sister because Layne wore newborn clothes for a long time. Even now she's still in 18 month close at 26 moths. At Layne's check up today we found out she's under the 10th percentile for weight and 75th for height. Our long and lean girls! Here are some pictures from the birth of Colbie until now. Enjoy!
