As always there's fun to be had at the Carver house in the little things...but mostly in the people we spend time with! We discovered a free art class at the Hoover Rec Center and we continue with Kindermusik with Mrs Cwis (Joel's pronunciation)...We got to play with Katie (friend from gymnastics) and her mom taught herself how to face paint (I have avoided Pinterest due to the warnings of being up all night chasing ideas...)...We enjoyed celebrating Eliza's 4th birthday (very sweet new neighbors)...a morning at the Park with YaYa...Mr. Zach is a great neighbor who loves our kids! Claire also got to try her feet with dancing with her buddy Sophie - tutu cute! Claire went to the ER at Childrens at around 10 months with an allergic reaction to Penecillin (like her mommy). Now it was Joel's turn...he nearly knocked out his front 2 teeth after a fall at Claire's school. Thanks to God by the time we saw the hospital dentist his teeth and gums had tightened back up. So after a 4 hour experience he still has those teeth and it did not slow him down any! What can you do about boys that are full steam ahead...PRAY! A milestone occurred - We took Joel out of the infant car seat and now into convertible car seat and forward facing. I had a brief "moment" as more and more of the "infant" things start to go away...I love watching my babies grow up! Another special person is Uncle Bob from N.C. He made his annual pilgrimage to his alma mater (U. Alabama) to go to a football game with Jeff. He always makes plenty of time for Claire and Joel! We enjoyed our visit! Enjoy some other pics of these times and others.

MSU Makes History!!!

What an experience! For the Bulldog fans out there, this is the sweetest time in Football history we have ever had! So many firsts going on...no on predicted that after 5 games we'd go from unranked to #1 and that Ole Miss would be highly ranked too! What a great time for the Magnolia State! I got to experience the MSU/Auburn game in full Maroon Fashion with my dad...we met for lunch at the Little Dooey for BBQ then took in the "electric" atmosphere around campus before the game...We endured rain and cowbell mayhem to see the Bulldogs definitively beat Auburn for what would put us in the #1 ranked spot! WOW! It was a neat experience and memory to make with my dad and thanks to my wonderful husband for keeping our 2 little ones and encouraging me to spend the night, I came home with 9 hours of sleep behind me to rejoin him in the chase to keep them from breaking a limb in all their activity! Here's a few highlights. Hail State!
