As a new parent, I have endless internal discussions about all the life lessons I'm responsible for teaching my child(ren?). This includes the concept of peer pressure, in all its glory. So when I found myself succumbing to the neighborhood peer pressure to rake my leaves into the street on this rainy afternoon so that the city can come vacuum them up whenever they happen to get around to it, I couldn't help but feel like an idiot. Raking is a thankless job with a lot as small as ours (did I mention we have no trees?), especially when Monday's forecast states: Windy, 40 degrees. Fantastic. Anyway, I could have done the raking earlier in the week, but Carly and I were having such a great time playing hide-and-seek in the piles that I never got around to finishing the job.
Anyone want an update from Thanksgiving? We had a great time and here's the proof.....
To be honest, it probably isn't fair for me to post this shot because CQ was balling about a half second later, but the first attempt at a [last name omitted due to internet weirdos] cousin shot should be duly noted:
Friday night at Bridget & Kev's home....I think Carly is smiling at Auntie Michelle's cute shoes:
The second cousin photo went much smoother:
And finally, Carly loved the attention at Grammy & Grampy's house and promises to be back soon:
