Love these kids with their big smiles!


Under cover besties


Home from church.



This little girl is so dang cute! Her cheeks are getting gooshier and scream kiss me now.! And that little bald head and toothless smile I can't get enough of! 
I'm beginning to have a sense of worry or anxiety that she is changing too fast. Meaning, I can't suck it all in fast enough and the WHAT IF.... This is my last???? Our last??? I want to pause sometimes and just make sure I get a good loooong time to spend with my kids at these ages!! Ya, ya,we've all said and heard it before... "time flies!" 
And boy does it!! 
Today, I'm happy and humbled to have 3 healthy  kids that give Dave and I both some of the best moments... And yes, sometimes worst moments life can give!!! Heres a picture of a "moment" when Harper lee bombed out her diaper onto my lap.

Some yard sale finds are impossible to beat! 
My gram Sherrie snagged these for little Roma and they are pretty radical if you ask us!!

PS-The garden is amazing and delicious!!
House update:
Of course.. Additional "items" needed from appraiser, those items were given and date for completion again is pushed back till next week. We're still hangin on tight. It's been quite the ride.

Some latest haps

Took the lil Harpsichord to the doc for her 4mth check up and she's doing fabulous. 
15.5 lbs--83% 
26 1/2 inches--99%
Gained 3 lbs. and grew 3 inches Since her last checkup at 2 mths. 
She's been my best eater as in, not an every 2hrs boob hog(Beckham) and not a bottle only baby(Roma)...she takes both great! 
Harper Lee has been the champ at sleeping through the night as well. Started at about 8 wks and hasn't stopped! 
Oh baby of mine, believe me, how I love these qualities! 
I am back to blogging only via phone due to moving and no Internet yet so... Let's see if I can find a pic or two. PS-news is, that we should find out today as to whether we have a "final approval" on our house. Then due to close next week. Gah!

This is an email Dave wrote to some of his co workers that have been interested and asking about our current move to Heber. I thought I'd forward it on..

Heber Home Update... Turns out the underwriter made a mistake while processing our loan and we actually need a record of two years of renters to count the rent as income. We've only had renters for a year and our debt to income ratio isn't as good as he/she thought it was. Now I'm in the process of showing the lender that my student loans have been taken over by the Department of Education and that I know longer owe other banks any money for student loans. That said, closing will be pushed back until we get the final thumbs up. How did we get in the house without closing? Our lender said we were safe enough to move in before we closed because everything was so close to being finalized and the owners were told the same thing. Guess not. Anyways, I just wanted to update some of you that I've told about our big move to Heber. This is all just a really long explanation as to why I'll continue wearing the same clothes over and over again: Unpacking all our crud is just more risk than we can handle for now. I'll know more next week. Who knows? Maybe these will become my lucky pants.
Take care,

It's been quite a rollercoaster of exciting and scary weeks. We're still confident that whatever happens will be "right." much love- Carter clan.
