Carter almost 6 months

Laughing, smiling.  Still having trouble through the night.  The last month has brought the first cold.  Carter is just a super happy baby. 

End of November and Thanksgiving

Another family crisis...well maybe two

Halloween and beginning of November

'Nina is here...quick trip to Vegas...houses

Christina came in to be with us on 10/13.  We're so happy to see her!  The boys were so excited and I took Carter with me to go to the airport.  Makes me smile to know she's here for a couple of weeks.  Brandi came on Thursday and Friday to show 'Nina the ropes.  'Nina is taking over caring for the little guys and spending time with us. 

The next day after 'Nina came in I jetted to Vegas on a buddy pass.  I took the day off and met with Maria and saw Sweet Jewel.  Much better than I expected.  :)  Took pictures of the lawns as we know we'll have to fight it later.  Unfortunately our renters at Fair Play couldn't pay this month.  So they will be using their deposit to pay rent.  This stuff is really miserable, but at least we have an offer (cash) on Fair Play.  We're just waiting for the bank to approve it.  Unfortunately our credit is fairly wrecked.  All due to the houses.

Went to lunch with Deann, so nice to see her and talk with her.  What a good, good friend she is.  Enjoyed Pink Taco at the Hard Rock.  After seeing the houses I picked up Gillian and then we waiting for Kaitlyn.  Picked up Kaitlyn and then her friend Tia.  What a nice girl!  JF is moving and going bankrupt so the girls showed me where their new home will be.  It is amazing to me how he can weasel...weasel...weasel and weasel again to get his way.  Anyway, took the girls to Sweet Tomatoes for dinner then we did a little browsing at Burlington and Borders.  Dropped off the girls, took the car rental back and headed to the airport.  Whew!  Such a long day and quick trip but worth every minute.

Carter's first food and 4 month check up.

On October 2nd Carter eats his first food...prunes!  Super cute!  He slopped it right up.  His face was a total mess!  So fun to watch though.  A little bittersweet since these are the last of the "firsts". 

On October 6 Carter had his 4 month checkup.  16lbs. 8 oz.  He's a healthy little chublet!  Dr. Tami had a student with her.  Super nice guy!  Carter made it through very well.  He was patient and Tami explained everything she does.  It was interesting to hear about it. 

House drama

Default notice 9/18.  Renters play on it.  Working with mortgage companies.  Massive amount of paperwork, must disclose all kinds of stuff.  A package of requested documents a mile long.

Constant changing of requirements.  No home modification for us.  We've lost SO much money.  100k on the house we live in.  Sweet Jewel....trashed.
