they're in




we got family pictures last week and they turned out pretty cute. here are a few. carter did alright at first and then he decided (after i scared him accidentally) that he really hated everything about it. the bright lights, the being naked, it was all a little too much stimulation for the little guy. we were able to get some, 'not crying' shots but the picture of us kissing him is a better indication of how he really felt about the whole thing.




we are doing alright here just getting a little more anxious to move home. but things are looking up; it is 55 degrees outside and i can't wait to take carter out for a walk in this beautiful weather. after living with temperatures in the teens, 50's is a real warm front.




i got some dental work done yesterday and it has been a while since i have been numb. i forgot how much i hate that feeling. but i suppose it would be much worse without the beauty of local anesthetic.




carter is sleeping a little more. four times this week he has managed to sleep for six hours straight!! thank heaven. he is smiling a little more and seems to be focusing on things better.



next weekend we get to go to chicago and see my parents!! hurray, i can't wait for them to see how much carter has changed in 7 weeks. he is getting cuter every day!

I saw your Mom at a fireside with Sis. Okasaki the other day - she told me about your trip to Chicago coming up...that sounds like fun!

Jordo, those are fantastic! And I love that you embraced Carter's real emotions of the moment. Babies cry. Might as well have that beautifully documented too, right?
