Getting ready for Graham

Well, it has begun. We put off purchasing anything for the baby until we found out he was a he. Since then Hunter has been right in the middle of picking out stuff for the baby. He helped select the crib bedding and approved the paint color for the nursery. When I get in new boxes of clothes (which I largely purchase off Ebay) he helps me go through it all and tells me which outfits Graham will like the best. We have also installed the mobile on the crib, which came with a remote control. Hunter has decided that it will be his job to activate the mobile and make the baby stop crying. (Because you know that is all it takes to stop a baby from crying!) If you stop by the house, Hunter will be glad to show you how it works! :-)

Carter is excited about the baby too, but I think he has a better understanding about how this baby is going to impact his life. He keeps telling Hunter "It will be a LONG time before the baby gets here". I'm almost 24 weeks - Graham will be here before we know it!

Carter for President

So, Saturday afternoon Carter decided he was running for President. This idea came from the book he recently purchased at the school book fair "Spongebob for President". He decided to make flyers saying "Carter for Prezident" and put them all around the house. I went upstairs to fold the laundry and came back downstairs to find his flyer creation station empty. I went outside and saw flyers all around the porch, but no sign of Carter. I called his name inside the house, I called his name outside the house and then I caught a glimpse of him halfway down the driveway. I thought he was heading down the driveway, but he was actually coming back up. I said "What on earth are you doing?" and he said I went to Mr. James' house to ask him to vote for me and he gave me a check. I almost passed out! I thought he had conned our neighbor into giving him a campaing donation. After he made it back to the top of the hill he showed me his notebook where he had writte...
