First visit to Chariton

Jan. 5th--Today we traveled back to Chartiton for Carson's first visit to mommy's hometown for a shower. Carson was spoiled with lots of attention and gifts from mom's friends, friends' moms, neighbors, and former teachers. It was such a nice day and good to see everyone and catch up! We had planned to spend the whole weekend in Chariton, but Grandma Margie has bronchitis, so we will return in 2 weeks to have Carson's first weekend overnight at Grandpa and Grandma Swanson's house.
Carson snoozing amongst his sea of new clothes, books, toys, servingware (plates, cups, etc.), and more books! Thank you for all of the great gifts!
A few of the gifts were personalized with Vicky Edwards' embroidery skills. Ben's favorites were the Hawkeye blanket and baseball jean jacket. (And the other baseball clothes and stuffed baseball...no pressure kid!) Mom's favorites were the books and toys and...everything!
Carson had a long day with entertaining all the ladies at the shower and the long travel. He napped the whole way home to Williamsburg and then stayed napping in his carseat in the living room for almost another hour!

Jan. 4th--I thought this outfit was cute. It's the first time he wore these bibs and this 3 mo. size is already too short! Ben was making fun of me for dressing him in shorts ("jorts"= jean shorts) in the winter.
