Chris's family came and stayed with us over Labor day weekend. It was funny because we planned to swim and spend Saturday in the sunshine, and of course it rained almost all day. (What are the odds of that happening in Phoenix?) We couldn't figure out anything to do besides watch movies and eat candy, so as soon as the rain stopped we went swimming anyway. It wasn't too bad--its kinda hard to make it cold here even after a storm.
Chris's parents brought me birthday presents, and I got exactly what I wanted: toys for Carter. He got a Johnny Jump up, and an Elmo stand up toy. He always wants to stand, so its awesome to have toys that he can play in standing up. He hasn't figured out how to jump yet, but he likes to move around in the jump up, and its fun to watch him. Now he just needs to learn that its ok to play in them by himself! :) If you're not right next to him or watching, he cries like the world is going to end.
Chris is really enjoying law school so far. He says its not as bad as people said it would be. He heard all sorts of horror stories about the first year being crazy hard. I'm glad he is happy (I don't think I could read as much as he does and remember it all!) And I'm just trying to keep Carter busy and happy at home. Oh, and I am now teaching primary (yep, I called it). I have eight little five year olds in my class, and I'm trying to figure out how the heck this calling is going to work if they don't call Chris or somebody else to help me. Carter usually eats right in the middle of church ... sooo yeah. And we try constantly, but I don't think he'll ever drink out of a bottle. I guess it'll work out somehow.
