The time has come, unfortunately, to say goodbye to our dear friend Julie. Scott and I met Julie when we first moved to China in the spring of 2006 and we are so fortunate to have made wonderful memories over the past 2 1/2 years. She will be moving back to London next weekend. On Saturday we went to her leaving party and Carsten was (of course) the hit of the party! Julie we love ya and you will be missed, can't wait until we see you again in the near future.
In the first few weeks Carsten dreaded getting his diaper and clothes changed, my parents can attest to the screaming rage coming out of such a tiny human being. It is quite amazing how time can change little ones and how the time goes so fast. He is now 6 weeks old and we have now what we call "The Happy Table".
Two nights ago Carsten was being Mr. Fussykins, so Scott experimented...he laid Carsten on the changing table and voila! he soon became "The Happy Baby". We really like "The Happy Baby", so of course Mom had to get out the video camera. He performed by making a new coo sound and "talking" to Dad, check video below.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. Scott, Carsten and I joined a small group of friends at Bubba's Texas BBQ for a Thanksgiving feast. It did not compare to back home, but did not disappoint. We feasted on turkey, stuffing, veggies, mashed taters and pumpkin pie.
Scott and I did some rearranging of furniture over the holiday weekend. We moved the bassinet into our bedroom and switched up a few things in the guest room. Just need the changing table to be delivered and then we are all set!
