here are a few long overdue shots of our sweet miss caroline. i can't believe she is already over three months! i must brag on her just a bit for she is truly a dream baby. she goes with the flow, eats whenever, sleeps whenever and is just happy to be along for the ride (and i'm just glad i haven't accidentally forgotten to put her in the car)! she is super social and has the most precious laugh.
and let me just say, for the record (and for all you moms toughing it out with your little ones), i have in the past also had slightly more difficult babies (we won't name names:). because i have earned my degree from the "baby school of hard knocks" i am allowing myself the liberty to brag a bit. regardless, i can take no credit...the lord knew we needed a little one who would just "go with the flow!" we all love this little girl so much and feel blessed to have her in our lives.
the beginning of fall has also brought with it many exciting developments in our home! it seems our family continues to get bigger as we have added yet another new member to the wright household (HA! that got your attention, didn't it!:). several weeks ago ben took the boys to the matthews alive festival. they returned home with a new pet; a goldfish who was promptly and affectionately deemed "Dorothy" by Ben David.
we are not big elmo watchers around here, and in truth, i find the fuzzy red creature slightly annoying. that being said...Ben David has managed to catch a few minutes of elmo here and there while i am trying to pack a lunch or load the car, etc. hence, he quickly latched on to the name of elmo's pet fish: "Dorothy." for some reason unbeknownst to me, however, Dorothy has since been shortened to "Dorky." not sure what happened there, but in any case...we now have a pet fish named "Dorky." she even survived a whole week without being fed while we were at the beach. do i dare i say i was a bit disappointed???
so here she is in all her glory...
in addition, ben david has started his first year in preschool at carmel baptist two days a week. so far, he really seems to like it! his only complaint is that he doesn't get the same fun food his friends do in their lunches. so, i broke down and bought some junk food for him yesterday...not going to let my kid be the odd man out...no sir!:)
and here is a picture of ben's latest "activity" for the boys...a homemade zip line!!:) ben always comes up with new fun things for the boys...they are always asking him, "daddy...what's the next "actibity" (as ben david wouldsay)???" notice the multi-tasking... that's my husband:)
and finally...our best attempt to capture all three on camera. we had a great time yesterday meeting our dad for lunch at the park...always a treat!
