The Carpenter Chronicles: Walking on Sunshine

http://thecarpentersx4chronicles.blogspot.com/2009/10/walking-on-sunshine.html

Jotting down the memories I wish to keep, and share! Thursday, October 8, 2009. Okay, so we've been working on this a while. And Landon is building up the confidence to let go. To take steps on his own. You'll notice in the following video a coffee table. This is Landon's. Coffee table. We bought this coffee table at a neighborhood yard sale (actually matching my furniture quite closely) specifically for Landon. The idea had been stirring in my head after reading a post about Landon's friend Lois. Down S...

Jotting down the memories I wish to keep, and share! Saturday, January 31, 2009. Happy 3rd Birthday McKayla! 160;If you are in a different room, you will yell out, "it's okay brudder. I'll be right there."  You are a great big sister. You are such a beautiful little girl.  Definitely on the outside, but especially on the inside.  We love you immensely, baby girl.  Happy Birthday! A walk down memory lane. Your first day in the world. Look at all that red hair! This is before we cut that beautiful hair.

The Carpenter Chronicles: Ballerina Girl

http://thecarpentersx4chronicles.blogspot.com/2009/10/ballerina-girl.html

Jotting down the memories I wish to keep, and share! Friday, October 16, 2009. You are so lovely. I can see in you my dreams come true. The joy you bring me. Every day and night, when I hold you tight. I only want to say, "I love you.". Yeah, that mom is me. Landon is one curious kid, and if you are not right with him every second - stuff happens. I'll let you know how it goes! Oh how I wish i had a little girl to put in dance classes. Sigh. October 17, 2009 at 10:18 AM. October 23, 2009 at 9:16 AM.

The Carpenter Chronicles: April 2009

http://thecarpentersx4chronicles.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Jotting down the memories I wish to keep, and share! Tuesday, April 28, 2009. An Update On The Cataract. According to the doc, she believes the cataract wasn't present from birth for him to have recovered as well and as quickly as he has. She explained that if he had never been able to see from that eye, we would have had to work much longer and harder to restore his vision. She was very excited and relieved at his progress. And may need to take action if it becomes problematic later. Links to this post.

The Carpenter Chronicles: Moving Right Along

http://thecarpentersx4chronicles.blogspot.com/2009/10/moving-right-along.html

Jotting down the memories I wish to keep, and share! Tuesday, October 13, 2009. So Landon surprised us this weekend by going beyond the few steps he was taking between objects to randomly walk in whatever direction he wanted to go. In the following video, I helped him stand (he hasn't yet figured out how to do that without something to pull up on) and then he started walking. His distance varies before he plops down, but hey, he's making progress! Way to go Landon! Love that giggle too! Just a Click Away.

The Carpenter Chronicles: October 2009

Jotting down the memories I wish to keep, and share! Monday, October 26, 2009. The T21 Traveling Afghan. I haven't received a package in the mail that has made me more excited than when I opened the box that appeared on our doorstep, Thursday, October 8th. (I'm way behind in this post.I know.) Inside was the T21 Traveling Afghan. We were fortunate enough to receive the afghan so early in the game because I requested it for our Buddy Walk (I'll post about that later). The T21 Traveling Afghan was lovingly...
