First Lift Johnny


So, my Dad finally came out west to visit from Chicago. It was so wonderful! He hadn't seen Carter since he was 10 weeks old so I'm sure he looked a lot BIGGER since he is now 10 months (well almost 11 now that I'm posting this). He stayed for two weeks, Jackson for a week with friends, and Poky for a week with us.

It was really great to spend time with my Dad. We skied a bunch, hung out, watched the Olympics, ate, drank, laughed, and best of all Carter got to hang with Gramps. We had some good times. Oh, and my Dad really took care of us and put himself to work while he was here (he was supposed to be on vacation!). He put together these two huge steel shelves that were sitting in boxes in our garage since maybe thanksgiving, and cleaned and organized our garage. What a world class guy. I guess parents never stop taking care of their kids. I would show you before and after pictures, but before pictures would just make you wanna throw up with how dusty, messy, and not-so-organized it was.

Good buddies, Carter, Dad, and a great guy Ken
