Gone to Carolina

Dave had 2 job interviews in NC in March and we all got to go. It was fun to visit these two new, small towns (Lenoir and Morganton) that we had never been to before. Dave loved both jobs so we'll see what happens in the coming months as he continues to interview. We're excited at the prospect of moving into a house and "starting our lives" in a more settled way. Condo living is getting a little old :)

We got to spend lots of time with Nini and Grandpa Gerry, and see the Isenhour's: Kathi, Cortney and kids, and Megan!

Alex got to even touch the sting ray. I had to put the camera down because he continued to try and get in the "pool" 

so cute

18 Months

Dear Alex,
We can't believe you're already 18 months! You're growing up way too fast for M&D. We are loving this age. You're a jabber box and all boy. You're becoming more of a cuddler and have the cutest little smile. You're mischevious and silly and you keep us laughing all the time.

At 18 months:
You can fold your arms for prayers and say "Amen". You've been to nursery a few times. You're favorite song is "Do as I'm doing", which you like to call "Follow". You love Signing Time and Elmo's Potty Time and would watch them all day if we let you. You can name your grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and you know daddy's name is Dave. You love your barn puzzle and sometimes sleep with the pig. You're still very attached to your pacifier which you affectionately call your "babies". You're kind of a hoarder and ask for two and if we don't have two then you usually ask for four babies!

You make life sweet and we couldn't imagine life without you.  We love you so much!
-M&D
