For some reason I've spent way too much time contemplating where to start since it's been a while since my last blog. I'm not going to worry about my grammer or spelling (fingers crossed that blogger picks up the obvious!) As my good friend <a href="http://www.mere-et-filles.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Mary</a> told me...just start! I tend to listen to Mary a lot! She's good like that :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let me give you a quick update...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have a new addition to the family. Mallory Grace arrived on 8/10/12 and apparently will be 5 months old pretty soon. I'm really not sure where the time went.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oh...we moved...to Chattanooga...and live on a mountain. It's slowing starting to sink in that we are here...maybe because I was in a pregnancy blur. We moved 20 days after having Mallory. Don't worry...Mallory didn't do any heavy lifting. We basically joined the witness protection program for a while. I got a new address, phone number AND e-mail. It's really not that hard to fall off the face of the earth.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Carter is loving being a big brother. Just a second ago I was putting Mallory down for the night and he came running in and gave the <em>sleeping </em>baby a kiss and pat saying "sweet dreams." How mad can you really get at a big brother being so sweet. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Ok...I did it. I sat down and started somewhere. Those who know me...also know that I don't always think or talk in a straight line...so we won't worry about timelines. If you get a story from "the other day" that could be referencing something that happened 3 years ago. Just roll with it and enjoy the story or picture.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Carter really got Halloween this year. At least the whole treat part! He really liked the "next house" concept :-) I had fun with the outfits...there was a split second where I thought I should join in on the fun...and then it quickly passed!! My boys looked super cute!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While Andrew and I were chatting with neighbors...Carter was hoping back on his "motorcycle" and heading towards the next house. He pedaled for quite a while...the Man with the Yellow Hat ended up carrying the little monkey home once it got dark. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It was quite and adventure trying to catch the fish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The all were too big for their tank and almost too big for my net!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I first called the local fish store to see if they were accepting trade ins.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then Carter and I had some splash zone moments trying to get the fish out of the tank and into the bag.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carter is pretty good at cleaning up spills and even advanced to the towel under each foot method!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I get to the fish store…and it’s closed! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The hours are 12-8!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had called @ 10 so I know they were at the store. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So now I’m standing outside the store with three fish in a bag and a two year old.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I saw someone in the back and start knocking on the door…even Carter joins in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then it hits me that I have a cell phone! Dhur! I call the store and the man who I talked to earlier lets me in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whew!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The bala sharks find a nice home in a beautiful corner tank.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Poor Jack Jack doesn’t get a nice tank…but he’s the biggest fish and that’s not a bad deal in the cichlid world!</span></div><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Carter made sure to say bye to Jack Jack…I think he understood that he wasn’t come back home with us…but just in case…I told the man we might be back for Jack Jack!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My good friends had a little party for me while Carter was at school. Good friends, coffee, mimosa and knitting always make for a great time!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Notice that Carter has his school bag ready...and I have my knitting bag. We are both prepared!</span><br />
