Thanksgiving 2011

We spent Thanksgiving break in Old Monroe.  Carter had a blast talking to Grandma about the new quilt she is making him, reading with Papa, and harassing cousins and their friends.  Laura spent most of the weekend with Allison, as usual.  Of course, Laura had a little time to play tennis in the Woods Mill tournament.  She only won one match, but she is getting better every time she steps on the court!

Is Eating Boogers Bad for You?

Well... Just like Mythbusters Carter has decided to put the theory to test and the results are in, eating boogers is good for you and according to researcher Friedrich Bischinger similar to consuming really nasty-salty penicillin."
Seriously,In the scientific and medical knowledge communities, the act of eating a booger is called mucophagy. Furthermore, Austrian doctor Friedrich Bischinger, a lung specialist working in Innsbruck, performed research that found people who pick their noses with their fingers are healthier, happier, and more in tune with their bodies. His work also found exposing the body to the dried germ corpses helps to reinforce the immune system. In short Bischinger supports nose-picking, and encourages children to take up the habit.  Actually, come to think of it Carter has not had a single ear infection or fever since he started eating the salty morsels....:-)

A-B-C

Carter spent time tonight ripping off verse after verse of the "abc song".  Not sure where he picked it up since we have not started singing it yet. Of course, the moment he caught me trying to tape him he went into "terd" mode and stopped.. but after a little bribing with the binky he let me record a little.

Dustin and Katie Tie the Knot

Amy's niece Katie Reller Married Dustin Boyd Saturday afternoon in Old Monroe.  The weather was nice and the ceremony short and sweet!
