Beautiful Day

After spending the morning cleaning up Carter AND Lucy puke, I decided we all needed some fresh air and sunshine. It was a beautiful, warm day so into the back yard we went. Since Carter spent his first 4 months of life inside the hospital, he's very sensitive to bright lights and wind. He didn't really like the sun in his face and tolerated it long enough for me to snap the pictures. He did like being on the screened in porch, and laughed at Lucy as she ran around in the yard. He gets a big kick out of watching her toys fly by and her right behind them!

Carter told me that he wanted to wear his United States Marine Corps shirt today in honor of Bodee's (our CDH pals from Duke) dad, Mark, who is currently overseas protecting us. He just left for 7 months, and Kristen is home alone with Bodee and their 3-year old daughter, Dakota. We have so much respect for their family and will continue to say many prayers for Mark's safe return.
