The Carters Visit Kerr Lake

We had such a great time with The Carters.  Banks is so precious!  The girls loved having a little one around....although I told them not to get any ideas.  This baby factory shut down a long time ago!!

The boys fished each morning and did really well.  We did a lot of relaxing, eating, and drinking.  We took a boat ride one day to Clarksville for lunch.  We so appreciated their company and the fact that they drove so far to hang out with us.  Richard keeps saying that it was the best weekend so far.  He loved having someone there who would actually fish with him and someone who loves fishing as much as he does.  

Come back soon Carter Family!!

Banks had Karcie all tied up!

They had the best time playing!

Kamdyn kept trying to get hugs and kisses.

Sweet Banks finally gave her a kiss....

and a hug!!

Carly coloring with the kiddos!

And she was happy about it!!  ;)

They moved their coloring to the floor!

Banks wanted to do everything that the girls were doing!

The boys and their "catch of the day!"  Needless to say, we had a delicious dinner!!

Lunch at the Lamplighter!  Kamdyn was being silly!!

Visiting The Carters

We were also able to visit with this sweet boy while we were in Anderson.  He jumped right in with these silly girls.  He had a fun time chasing Karcie around the house.  I so wish that we lived closer so that we got to visit this cutie more.  Thanks for hanging out with us for a while, Baby Banks!!  (my phone died which is why I only have these two photos.)

Sweet Baby Banks

This precious angel was born on December 19th and is just as precious as his Mama and Daddy!  I was so happy that we were going to be in town just days after his arrival.  I couldn't wait to get to their house and get my hands on this little bundle of sweetness.  He was so tiny!  It was hard for me to believe that Kamdyn was almost as small as him.  YIKES!!  I was scared that I was going to break him.  He slept the entire time that I was holding him although his Mommy said that he didn't sleep a wink the night before.  Karcie didn't know what to think about sweet baby Banks.  I had to stand up to hold him because she just couldn't get it through her head to be gentle while sitting next to me.  Kamdyn was happy to look from a distance, but thought he was as sweet as could be. Kamdyn did say that she did not want any more little brothers or sisters. She said that Karcie was hard enough for her to handle!!  Good thing, Kamdyn!!  Brothers, nor sisters, are in your future.  :)

We got to see Banks get a bath and get dressed for his first doctor's appointment

Thank you for letting us visit, Carly!  I hope he is not walking by the time that we see him again.  We love you guys!! 

We couldn't see his sweet face!

We needed a better angle.
