A tale of 3 Carpers: 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.
