Hello October 2009... you have been exciting. Work has been nuts..... in this economy when most are struggling S & W is doing good. Not great like summer of 2008 but not too shabby either. Thankfully, we have a master mind at the helm and he will steer this "ship" to better seas..... if you get my drift. I am so happy and proud to call my father my DADDY. Saying that brings me back to the day we found out Callie was a girl. We were so suprised because I would have "bet the house" she was a HE. But, God blessed us with a daughter and I get to watch my sweet and wonderful husband be our little girl's daddy. I am tear filled these days..... being a mommy sure makes you think about things differently and makes you a softy. So, work rocks. I have the perfect job and boss. :) Mon-Wed I work and Jeanne works Thurs and Friday. this schedule leaves me with the perfect amount of time to catch these moments on video......
Yup, 13 months and climbing couches. We call her Princess Destruct-O!!! Here'a another..... She loves the refrigerator. Future Chef?!?!?!?
I think that is it for now...... The Carper's have their hands full with the "cutest red head around." Check back in November for another update. I do hope to do this more often..... Love to all.

July-September. Holy Moly..... How I have missed you Blog.
Wow. Its October. I have not written since July. I have to catch you up on a few things...... For starters, Callie is 1. Geez, where did the most wonderful and amazing year of my life go? Lets take it back to July..... We had Aquapalooza on Lake Lanier. Grammy so graciously took monkey for the night and we got to "Party" like before Callie was here!!! It was a blast - we had too much fun at Lake Lanier Islands. The following weekend we headed south for a long weekend in Tybee. We spend 5 days there with the ENTIRE family plus some! There were lots of people and it was LOTS OF FUN. We celebrated Rusty's 50th birthday. Hilton joined us as well as Marsha. Its been YEARS since I have seen Marsha. She was exactly the same. Funny how some things never change. We spent time with the Parr's - and got to meet Tebow. The only Tebow the Carpers can ever love. HAHAHA.
The following weekend was Miss Maddy's 1st Birthday. That was a scorcher of a weekend. We had a fantastic time celebrating our little Maddy's 1st birthday. I apologize that I am picture less on these events as we have gotten a new computer and the photos are not on here. Bummer.
Here we are SEPTEMBER - Clint and I traveled to Oklahoma for the home opener. Even though it was a LOSS the trip was so much fun. We arrived in OKC to Darren (He was our co-worker at AFMI years ago) picking us up and we head over to his brother's new office. We left Callie at home with Nana and a fever. I called Carla to check in and poor thing is 102. She has never had such a high fever and I am freaking in Oklahoma. So, Carla ends up at the dr sat morning and my monkey has an ear infection. No Biggie... so I thought. We go to the game, sadly bow our heads and leave. The people in OK are amazing. They thanked us for showing up. I mean in Athens that would NEVER, EVER happen. Oklahoma is amazing..... we spent time with President Adams and his wife, Kevin Butler and Thurman Thomas. Pretty cool weekend.... AND we took a private limo to and from the game (Popping collar here) THATS'S HOW WE ROLL...(Thank you Billy!!!!!!)
So, Carla took Callie to the Dr, 10/5. About 3 days later Callie had a rash..... so the morning of 10/12 we're back with a "non-allergic allergic reaction" to amoxicilian. Its common and does not mean she is allergic to Amoxicilian. Just the first time her body had ever had antibiotics.
Flash forward to Callie's First Birthday Party. The guest list was 130. We had a turn out of about 60. It was so magical...... even though there was a flood happening, lake lanier was almost back to full pool and it was outside. Even though it was raining it was perfect. I will find some birthday pics and get them up. She was adorable and it ws wonderful.... big tear...... my baby is a toddler.
Soon after was Clint's 20th Highschool reunion. Here are a few photos to highlight that...... I will not go any further. :) Awesome time though.

Ok, Sorry that it has been SO LONG. The Carpers have been busy little bees. Here's a run down of what's been going on. Sara had baby Levi on May 1st. He is adorable and they are doing fantastic! Bob and Brigit had their precious Evan on May 13th. He is perfect and they are adjusting beautifully!! Clint and I celebrated our 3rd Anniversary. We went on a cruise! It was so much fun. Originally we were supposed to go to Key West and Cosmel. Due to H1N1 Mexio closed their borders so we ended up back in the Bahamas then on to Key West. We met some AWESOME people on the cruise and of course have no contact information for them. Typical for the Carpers! Here are a few pics from the Callie-less Vacation! BTW - we MISSED that monkey SO much. 
Our precious "God Daughter" Madison Nicole Sieg was Baptised out at Dad's house. The ceremny was beautiful thanks to Jeanne's aunt Anne. Look at our sweet little family.....
Look at these two - playing with each other. They are the same size..... well Callie is a tad bigger!
On June 11th we took the little Monkey to her first Braves Game! She was the center of attention. We sat in the 755 Club area and Callie was perfect. She just sat and played then napped..... 
On June 20th Dad and Pam came out to the boat to spend the day with Clint, Callie and I. We celebrated Fathers Day a day early. I love my daddy so much..... He means the world to me and I am so thankul for him. Even at 29 he still spoils me.... :) Here a shot of him and his little monkey..... the only nap she took all day on Grand Pa's lap. Pretty sure he's ganna spoil her more than me!!
We celebrated July 4th on the lake with bunches of friends. Callie and Carter (her future husband) had a good time hanging out and watching fireworks. It was a great 4th. We spent the day out at Cocktail Cove then moved over to Lake Lanier Islands for the fire works. As usual The Jann's had a boat full (newbies). We tied up and Marc came over with a few friends. Marc is Clint's co-worker. We've adopted him and love to have him around. 
Oh yeah - there is this one other thing - CALLIE IS A WALKER!!!! 9 months old and walking!!! Check her out......

Callster on the Move!!!!!!
Lookie here!!! Me blogging twice in one week!!! I deserve an award! On Sat we went to eat an outdoor lunch at Deisel's. Its in Roswell and delicious! 
Then Mothers Day was Sunday and it was AMAZING. I first had breakfast (pancakes with sugar on them - My Papa taught me that!) then we went to Capital City Grill for Lunch. Mom & Rusty met us and we enjoyed a wonderfully delicious lunch! I got a massage at Spa Sydell. Clint must have told Callie what mommy wanted because she nailed it! 
On Sunday morning our little monkey was pulling up and trying to walk. It has to be the funniest thing Clint & I have ever seen!!! Here's a video from her that morning.....
Our monkey is SO funny!!!! She just plopped over then kept on going! Callie is learning new things every day and she is the love of our lives. In her we see each other and we are so thankful that God gave us this little miracle. We gave her a bath on Monday night and snapped a few cuties.... ENJOY!!!
AND.... I forgot this little piece..... we had to move Callie's crib down..... She is growing up so fast. Each and every day right before our eyes! 
Here she is laying with Cooter - I know, I know - but Cooter was Clint's as a baby and he has been passed down. Cooter is a cute little rat that was given to Clint when he was about Callie's age. Clint has kept Cooter and waited for the day he could pass him along to Callie..... It made him so happy to see her snuggled up with Cooter....

April 2009
Its been over a month since I have had a post! Sorry that it has been so long. We've had a pretty great month!
Lets see..... First was my birthday. On April 3rd we went to dinner at my favorite sushi place. Just me, Clint & Callie. It rocked. I love my little family. Clint got me some HUGE balloons and the little bit LOVED them. Here's a picture of us after that dinner.
Then on Saturday we had lunch at Fado and my family and friends joined us! We had the top out door portion The service was fantastic and so was the food. We will definitely return! We had a wonderful lunch. I am now 29.... wow. I can't complain a bit though. Life is GREAT!
NEXT..... Easter weekend was a ton of fun. We packed up the car on Friday morning and hit the road at 8:30. We arrived in St. Mary's around 2:30 and put our little bunny on her Nana's door step. She was THRILLED to see her little monkey! We enjoyed the weekend with Glenn, Andrea, Momma Lou, Maaren and Kellie. We had biscuts n gravy, BLT's, a wonderful steak dinner and a night out in the BIG city of St. Mary's courtsey of Uncle Glenn. The weather was georgous!!! We hung out on the dock on Satutday and enjoyed the warm weather. Packed up Sunday morning and headed back to Atlanta..... we had to watche the Master's!
We went over to our friends house - The Fantucci's. Anna Grace and Avery were SO excited to meet Callie. They drew us a picture on the walk way wecoming us to their house. They are very sweet girls and they WORE Callie out.
On April 23 we went to meet Grammy for lunch to celebrate her birthday!! Angela, Clint, Mom, Callie & I all went out to eat mexican. Yummy!!!!
LASTLY, We took Callie to the boat for her first over night trip. We were a tad nervous but not too much. She had a great nap on the boat and then slept like a champ!! 8 pm to 8:30 am!!! Yeah Callie! Then on Sunday she enjoyed crawling around and licking everything on the boat. We have a feeling she will be a water baby!!!
I think that is it for the Carper's in April. I am going to visit Sara and meet Levi tomorrow. I will try to get the pictues up as soon as possible! Love to All!!!!

BIG NEWS!!!!!
This morning I put Callie on the floor and went to take a shower. I spread her toys out -as usual and then she began "moving" - sorta crawling and sorta rolling - but still MOVING for her toys. So I put them farther and farther away and she would comando crawl to her toys. After showering and an excited call to daddy I took a video! It is adorable and I am so proud of my little monkey! Another milestone for my wonderful, beautiful, perfect daughter Callie Maxine!

6 months and a pony tail later!
As of today, our princess is 6 months old!!! Seriously, 6 months. I am in shock. We just returned home from Carter's 1st Birthday Party. Of course, it was a great time with the Jann's and all of their friends and family. So much is going on for us!! Callie went to the Doctor on Friday - 15 pounds 10 ounces, 251/2 inches long and in the 50% percentile for everything but her head! Still in the 75 percentile! One smart cookie we have on our hands. She has also begun eating baby food... first experience was peas.... yummy. At first she gave the standard dislike faces but she liked it by the end.
We came home from Carter's Party and gave the little one a bath. Then mommy put her hair in a pony tail!!!!!!!!!!! I have been waiting for this day since I found out I was having a little girl. Heck, I have been dreaming of this day since I was little and wanted a baby of my own!! I have headbands, bows and all sorts of hair accessories just waiting to see the world! I realize the pony tail is VERY small and unnecessary but I loved it!!! She looked absolutely adorable!
Lastly, Aunt Jeanne got Callie a jumper. She is so cute in it and the video is below. She loves it very much. We had our six month pictures and you will be getting an easter card from the little one herself! Its so freaking cute! I know all mom's think this but I really did give birth to the cutest kid on the planet!!!! :)

First Time
Intrigued?
hee hee.
Here it is......... I decided to "jump" into the blog world after following Life as a Neal, The Goldsworthy Clan, House of Rock and The Sheffield Family. I thought "Self, you can do this too - All you need is a snazzy name......" So, A Tale of 3 Carpers came to me. Hope it makes you smile like it does for me.
What is going on in the Carper world....
Callie will be 5 months on 2-22
Clint will be 38 on 3-10
I will be 29 on 4-3
Our Anniversary - 3 years!! 5-28 (Ahhhh... The Atlantis!)
I am in shock that I will be 29 - last year of my 20's. Another era is coming to an end. I am looking forward to my 30's. Raising Callie, loving Clint, traveling, maybe having another bebe (working on Clint about that one), working to make S & W all that it can be and loving my nieces and nephews. I can't forget all my "other" nieces and nephews of our friends. Quite a few are due to pop in the next few months. As a matter of fact my college room mate popped on the 18th! Congrats to Megan and her new son, Beau. I love pregnant people and babies. :)
Callie is getting SO big. 6 month clothes already. Sleeping like a champ. Eating Rice Cereal like a pro. She is the most amazing thing I have EVER seen. I fall more in love with Clint and her every day. Here are some latest pictures. We are getting the boat all ready for this summer..... I have a feeling she will be a water baby! Kisses to all.
