Say hello to the "Brown House!"


Whew - what a crazy 12 days!! We moved out of the old house, into the new house, and somehow managed to finish our Christmas shopping and squeeze in a trip to Wyoming for the holiday. I'm not sure I'd choose to move the same week as Christmas (or winter) ever again, but we made it! :) We really like our new house. The home is only a year old so everything is pretty and new. It's very cozy here. We haven't met many of our neighbors yet so it might be time to whip up a couple batches of cookies and start delivering!!! In any case, we're almost ready for visitors so.....let us know when you're comin' over!

Armando, Claudio, Frankie, and Lisa came over on Saturday to open Christmas presents with RJ. It was great seeing everyone and spending a little time together. Hopefully it won't be long before we see everyone again.

I think RJ might have a future career as a JC Penney catalog model - what a ham (isn't he beautiful though?)..... :-)

The next generation of Carper Crazy's!!!



JD, I don't care how old we get (or, more importantly, how old our kids get) I hope we will always continue our summer tradition of spending time together.

Two Beautiful Girls.......


This picture was taken at Cori's bridal luncheon in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. That was such a fun and special time for all of us to be together. This pic makes me smile, but also make me miss everyone (especially you Grandma). I can't wait to see you at Christmas.

Up and runnin'.......



Here are a couple of pictures from the first day of school. These kids are so precious. Meggie is smart and beautiful. She's such a sweetheart. RJ just has so much personality! He absolutely LOVES school and asks to go every day. His teacher says he is a hard worker and very focused. I'm so proud of both of them. I'm so lucky to be their mom.

My first entry!

Hello Everyone!
This is my first go at blogging. Since I'm horrible at sending letters and pictures, I thought this would be a fun way to journal and let everyone know what is happening in our lives. However, it's taken me two hours to get this far and now I'm exhausted. :) It's midnight so I'm going to bed! I'll leave you with one of my all-time favorite videos. Enjoy!!
