He still has some work to do, but Carter can stand himself up for a split second. Actually, he has had some better attempts, but these were the best we could get on film. Enjoy!

Race Across America

June 24th, 2009

I took a nice 30 mile bike ride today, trying to get out before it was hot. About 2 miles from home, I saw a cyclist coming the other way. I politely waved. Then I noticed a SAG vehicle behind them with a windshield sticker titled “Race Across America”. Curious, I just looked up what Race Across America is. Turns out, this guy (or his relay team) was about 983 miles from completing a 3000 mile bike ride across the entire country! Some of competitors do this solo, finishing in little as 9 days! The whole thing is crazy, I can’t believe I have never heard of it… kudos to the competitors!

First Father’s Day

June 21st, 2009


I had a great first Father’s Day! First, mommy took Carter & I to make a ceramic tile with Carter’s handprint, which I am sure I will cherish for a long, long time. Then, we went to Bob Evans (how did you guess?) We finished the day with a nice trip to the beach, although Carter’s favorite part of that seemed to be playing in the grass! Enjoy the gallery here.

My life has a new purpose

I must aquire The Bob Evans Sausage Gravy Dispenser. I am certain it will end all wars, poverty, strife, and pain. More information is here. Thanks to Sammy for pointing out such a thing exists!

2009 On-the-Water Boat Show

June 7th, 2009


The Lake Saint Louis Sailing Club hosted its primary fundraiser, the On-the-Water Boat Show over the weekend. Unfortunately, I did not help out much. Fortunately, Carter lent a lot of moral support. Plus, daddy did get to play with a Hobie hybrid kayak/paddle boat/sailboat (and came away very impressed). The event went very well considering bad weather on Sunday and the state of the economy. You can see all the pictures here.

Carter no longer needs his parents to help sit him up. As you can see, he has really mastered that himself now and is doing it regularly. He first did it yesterday but, unlike most new things, he can do it repeatedly right away.
