The Carter Family: Busy Family Weekends

Whew! The Carters have had a busy couple of weeks. We've had family in town the past two weekends which has been wonderful. Nana and Papa Carter came in town the weekend of April 20th, and we went all went out to dinner (with Jeff and Caitlin too) at Benihana's to celebrate Jason's and Papa's birthdays. It has become a tradition to celebrate their birthdays at a Japanese steakhouse, and Harrison loved his first experience! He loved the show the chef put on and was entertained by his surroundings all night. The rest of us were entertained by the prom groups that ate there too! We also took Harrison to the Dunwoody Nature Trails that weekend because the weather was so nice. We had fun walking around and playing on the swings and slides with Caitlin. The doggies also took a nice swim in the creek! Harrison also started trying to pull up that weekend and was successful a couple of times with the help of Gracie, but wasn't quite there doing it on his own yet.

But sure enough, that following Monday the 23rd, Harrison was pulling up on the coffee table and sofas all by himself!

Then the next weekend, Poppy and Car Car Eschen came into town for a visit and were able to witness Harrison's crawling skills for the first time, as well as his new pulling up skills (as Anna Almstedt would say, chicks dig guys with skills)! It was another beautiful weekend, and we filled it with golf, shopping, and helping Will move into his new house. We also attended Baby Day at our church, where they honor the babies that have been born in the church over the past year. Harrison was a huge hit of course, as he "waved" to the parishioners as we walked down the aisle after being presented!

Harrison loves his Papa. He has such a special knack of getting him to sleep!

Mr. Sandman is here again!

Harrison absolutely adores Caitlin, she is so good to him and and always plays with him. Also, today is Caitlin's 11th birthday.........HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAITLIN!!
