Greetings friends and family! Carter and I are doing okay - thanks for checking in, calling, emailing, blog comments, gifts, flowers, sending chocolate (hint hint). We've only had one or two mishaps that have been completely my fault. Carter's been a pretty good boy for me and the nanny.
If I have not called or emailed you back yet, sorry - Bill's sister Kristen has been in town for a GAP convention. It's been a mad dash every day after work to drive home, change, grab Carter, and race up to the hotel for her tiny allotment of "free time" - which leaves me pretty exhausted by bedtime. Today we got a whole 2 hours at the check-in area at the airport - below you can see one of Carter's many new outfits from Aunt K10 from Baby Gap - thanks a bunch!
My heart goes out to all of the single parents out there. I don't know how everything gets done - I am just counting down the minutes until my husband/partner in crime/friend/daddy gets home on Friday night. I know Carter misses him too.
Time to get ready for tomorrow and get some sleep, hopefully...Erin

Erin,
My heart goes out to you. I still don't know how our Mothers did it! It's hard enough being a full time wife: cooking, cleaning and looking presentable. Then there's work: research projects, online teaching and translation deadlines. Now add Baby Dean: nursing full time, making him homemade solids (he started chicken this week..wohoo!) and teething! By the time Stan comes home I'm too exhausted to give him a hug! Plus it doesn't help that I'm alone with Dean all day because they work Stan until 8:30pm pretty much everyday.
So my heart goes out to you! I know how hard it is and BRAVO for being such a FABULOUS Mom!!!
Carter is blessed to have such great parents!
Sending you our love!
Stan, Jessica and Baby Dean
I'm ready to get back, not to Texas but home.
Hi Ern! Carter is precious! I know how you feel, Russ has been traveling up a storm so far in 08 & working full time is exhausting. We'll make it though. :) Hope the little guy gets to sleeping through the entire night soon.
Love you!
That last posting was from Aimee Page. Can you tell I don't blog often? :)
Erin- I knew you could do it all! Hang in there and when Bill gets back- go for a massage!
