A little overdue!

We're a little overdue for an update! It's been a while since we last posted something, so I thought now would be a fine time to do it. We've been really busy since Christmas. We had a great Christmas, and Carrie was really into opening her gifts this year. Funny thing is, as you'll notice in the pics, that even though she got loads of clothes for her birthday and Christmas, she's naked in nearly all her pictures. I can't say that I blame her though. She is a hot box, just like me. And she especially hates to wear socks and shoes. Anytime we get in the car to go somewhere, the first thing you hear is the velcro from her shoes, then a thump as her shoes hit the floor of the car. Then it's the socks that come off next. The kid is silly! We've threatened to duck tape her shoes on...I'm sure she'd find a way around it though!
Carrie is now sleeping in her "big girl bed," a daybed we bought from some folks at church. It used to belong to her babysitter when she was young. She also got to move over to the bigger room to make room for Emily when she is born. Speaking of Emily...Carrie has finally started talking to her and patting my belly. She calls her Emily Grapes, instead of Emily Grace.
We had some pretty snow this past week on Tuesday, and I got to stay home with Carrie for most of the day. We finally ventured out in it at about 2:00 that afternoon, and Carrie wasn't sure about it at first. She eventually got interested in it and I nearly had to drag her back inside. She was all bundled up with her makeshift boots on, and I didn't have on too many layers. So needless to say, the wind was very hard to take! Later that day after Eric got home, we went over to Knock-Knock and Papa's and took her sledding on what was left of the snow, but she wasn't very fond of that. It had gotten really windy by that time, and it was so very cold.
I think I've included all I had to share. It's hard to remember it all when you wait so long to post! I'll have to do better with that. Until next time, enjoy the pictures. Take care!
