Its been a while...
















Wow! Things were pretty crazy for us for a while there. In May, we finally moved from Germany to Maryland. Dublin did awesome on his first plane ride. We spent about a month and a half in a hotel with Joey (the cat) before we could move into our wonderful new townhouse. Our place is pretty awesome. The community is great. There is a pool at the end our our street. We have not been to the pool too much this summer, because it has been 100F almost everyday for about a month. The community we live in a nature preserve. Every night we can hear all of the frogs and animals aound the house. Its a little different from hearing church bells all of the time at our last place in Germany, but we still love it here. We couldn't have moved onto a better street. There are a ton of kids & everyone is super nice. Our nextdoor neighbor has a baby boy 9 days older than Dublin. They have hung out a few times. Its so cute to see them together, best buddies.
Dublin is growing like a weed! He is already 8 months old. He is waving now & he says "mama". So adorable! After we moved into the house Dublin finally got his new bedroom set. Its so nice to have Dublin sleeping in a crib now. He sleeps through the night. We are so lucky! I almost forgot to let you all know, Dublin was in a MAGAZINE! Mary Ellen submitted him in the Packer Report magazine. There is a picture of Jesse showing Dublin. So cute!
My parents just came out for a visit. We all had a great time. Thursday we drove up to see Aunt Carol & Uncle Rich, which is always a good time. Saturday we took them to Annapolis. It is beautiful down there. We had a great lunch & walked around. Sunday we made giant crab legs for dinner. Yum! The weather cooled down to the mid 80's so it was nice to eat outside. They left to go back to NC on Monday, but we will see them again in less than 2 months in BOSTON! Grandma Carpenter is turning 80! We are all looking forward to that trip. Plus it will be Dublin's 1st time meeting his Gigi.
My brother, Rob is on his way to LA right now for a few days, then he is going to Isreal for 2 weeks! He is so lucky to get to do this trip! I know we are all looking forward to seeing his great pictures!
