Oh...

So I was coming out of Ashely Home Furniture Collection today (looking for a new couch for those who are curious) with Camryn and there was a guy getting out of his car at about the same time.  Since we were the only two in the parking lot I smiled and was ready to say "hello" when he looked at me and said, "Oh... I see you have a little one with you".  What?  I've been trying to figure where that thought came from and where it was going.  Like "Oh... I was going to ask you out because you are super hot, but I see you have a little one so you must be married"  or "Oh... I was going to ask you for money, but I see you have a little one so you're probably poor"  or better yet "Oh... I WAS going to abduct you and drive off in my non-discript van, but I see you have a little one and don't want to leave her alone in the parking lot".

I guess I'll never know.

JC Penny Magic

So I recently took Camryn to JC Penny to get her 2 year pictures taken.  I thought you might like to see them too.  They're no Picture People and I only spent $3.99 a page with free sitting (thank you Air Force) but I think they're pretty good.

School, sch-mool

So school has started.  Alex going into 1st and Sydney starting preschool.  Both are happy to be gone and honestly, I'm happy to have them out for awhile.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE MY KIDS, but it doesn't mean we have to be together all the time.

the other day while at school Alex was "laughing so hard at a joke that I fell over" and cracked his head open.  Our house phone wasn't working at the time, Aaron's cell was off because he was in clinic, and my cell was inside charging while I was outside painting.  Alex sat in the office the last hour of school waiting for someone to pick him up.  Luckily the bleeding had stopped by the time I got there.  Probably not winning any parenting awards in the near future.

For the fans!

For reasons bigger than myself I've started a blog. Seeing as I've have as of three weeks ago joined the world of cell phones you might be asking yourself where this 21st century Carolyn came from. I've often chuckled at my children falling downstairs, eating dirt, and pooping in the tube and thought "where is the mass media outlet that will allow me to share in my life's adventures?". Yet alas, I was too lazy to go out and search for the sweet release of publication.

In our move eastward our friends shouted "More! More! We want more! How will we fill the void?" Look no further friends for the answer is before you. No longer will you have to wait, wondering what we are up to, hoping for a glimpse of our simple yet distinguished lives. The answer is here before you on your very computer, i-phone, MAC, PC screen.

It is with this in mind that I dedicate this blog to you - My fans.
