A Very Merry Unbirthday

Carson isn't the only one searching for a new blog post. The site's management realizes it's been far too long since the last update, and hopes a record long post will somewhat make up for the last few weeks of blog-silence.


So much has gone on since we last posted. Three weekends ago we took a trip up to Santa Barbara and Carson got to tickle the ivories.


There was a local festival going on with a number of things that matched Carson's interests.


There were firefighters...


Parachutes...


and ponies!


Once back in LA we started with potty training in earnest. For this reason most of the week was spent pants free, so there isn't much photographic evidence. However Carson did do a little waterpainting.


As well as help Bill build a stool that would help him reach the top of the potty.


Carson did get to spend some time outdoors.


Of course there were rewards for our successes.


In what will likely not come as a surprise to any of you, they were well received.


After a week of potty training I now realize how easy it must be for Lenny K. to keep this pool at 91 degrees.


June has brought anything but gloom so far. Memorial day weekend allowed for plenty of beach time.


On June 3rd somebody got to celebrate a birthday, but we were holding off on Carson's celebration til the party on the weekend.


Despite what she says, we did take some good pictures with Ging-Ging.


Although we don't have any pictures, we spent Saturday at Sesame Street Live with Carson's cousins. Unfortunately, on the way there Carson lost his breakfast, which would eventually force the postponement of his birthday party the next day. However he did still have energy to run around this cool illuminating entrance way afterward.


Although we didn't have the party that didn't stop us from opening a few presents on Sunday. Ging-Ging and Pops got Carson a tennis racquet.


While Grandma and Grampa sent out a shopping cart. Carson could not have been more excited about both gifts.


While the party has been pushed back a week, that just means we still had time to get our shopping done.
