It has been a few weeks since I have updated the blog so I thought I would go a head and throw a few pics on here.  Carter is getting bigger every day, I can't believe how fast they grow!!  He is still small according to lots of people but he is over 8 lbs now so to us his parents, we feel like he is getting really big! :)  We are still enjoying every moment with him, especially since I am going back to work in a week and a half or so...Yikes.  I am very hesitant on leaving him for so much time.  I actually hate the idea but we are still going to do it and see how it all goes.  The first week I'll go back I'll go on a Wednesday and McKay will be home.  For some reason I feel like it'll be easier to not have to drop him off anywhere the first week or so. 
 
Anyway here are some pics from the past few weeks as well as from his blessing day.

Here is one I took of Carter and I because nobody ever takes pictures of Carter and I together I had to just take one for us.  I am usually the one behind the camera.
Carter about 5 weeks old here.

2 weeks ago I took Carter on his frist trip to the Fire Station to visit McKay:

For those that don't know McKay is the Tiller which means he drives the back of the ladder truck.  Here he is in the back cab.

We blessed Carter this past Sunday.  It was great and McKay gave Carter a very special blessing.  We had a lot of people over after for food, my parents and one of my sisters and her family were able to make it.  It was nice to have them here for the weekend and so wonderful to have a little of my family at the blessing along with McKay's and some of our friends!  Thanks to everyone that came to share the day with us, we really appreciate it!!

 I wish I had my camera so we had more pics of everyone.  Below are a few pictures that McKay's dad took thank goodness!  Thanks Stan!

And just another sweet picture of our little guy!  I will post more pictures from the blessing day as I get them from Stan and Debbie as well as from my sister Erika.

McKay really did give Carter an amazing blessing. We were glad to be able to be there, even for just a little bit.
We love you guys!

He's so cute! I totally understand the whole behind the camera problem. I am always behind, rarely have a picture with any of my boys.

I wish I could have been there for his blessing! He is getting bigger and not looking so much like a preemie. It is good to see some pictures of you, you look great, of course! Will you be home for christmas or thanksgiving this year? Miss and love you!

So cute! I love the hat. Good luck with the back to work thing. I give you credit for going through with it. You don't think it will be any big deal to leave your baby, until you have one. There will come a day (in about 2 yrs.) when you can't wait to have a babysitter and you'll pay just about anything.
