More Updates

Well, everybody...I know most of you have been getting updates delivered directly to your e-mail inbox. However, there are certain things that only a visit to the actual site will allow you to experience.

We've been busy in the Carrington household updating our page so that we might keep things fresh and new. As a result, we have re-designed the entire page with a whole new look that has a much more "familyish" feel to it.


Disneyland '08 - Part VI

At last we have arrived at Day Three! Though it will still take me two days to post it.

Our third day at Disneyland started out with our "Breakfast with the Characters" at the Disneyland Hotel, just outside the park. We walked over to Goofy's Kitchen where we would have brunch as various characters came and visited our table for pictures, hugs, high-fives and all that.

Disneyland '08 - Part V

Welcome back!

Today, we continue where we left off before Christmas with the latter half of day two at Disneyland. It's almost embarrassing when I think about the fact that this trip was about four weeks ago and I'm still only on day two! Kinda pathetic, really.

Disneyland '08 - Part IV

Finally! Back to Disneyland! I know you've all been waiting and waiting for more pictures and pretty much anything at all newer than just the first day there.

Well, today, I'm happy to announce that your fondest wishes have been granted. At least, that is the case if your fondest wish was to see a new post of more Disneyland pictures on the Carrington Family Blog. If your wish was something else, what can I say? Sorry to disappoint. Hopefully, you'll at least find some amount of pleasure in these pictures.

Grandma's Toddler Christmas Tree

Once again, going out of chronological order to bring you more Thanksgiving weekend pictures after posting Disneyland pictures and before posting more Disneyland pictures. I'm not sure I'm going to get over this. I can hear the guys in the white coats approaching!

Rather than dwell on my future in a cozy room with nice, soft walls, subtle mood lighting and a steady flow of heavy meds, we'll just continue on with the pictures. I figure that's probably why you're here anyway. So, without further ado...

Thanksgiving Weekend Visitors

We had some visitors from Tucson over the Thanksgiving weekend. William and Darcy had come up to spend Thanksgiving with Aunt Caroline, Jana and Grandpa Tug. While they were in town, they stopped over at Billie's so we got to see them while they were here.

Along with the kids....

Thanksgiving Day

So, although this is way out of chronological order, and I'll probably need therapy as a result, here are some of the pictures from Thanksgiving Day. Good food, family, fun. Everything that a Thanksgiving Day is supposed to have!

So, let's get started with the pictures, shall we?.

Disneyland '08 - Part III

And now, here we are at the second half of Day One!

After going through "It's a Small World" and walking around Toon Town, getting pictures taken with various characters and such, we headed over to some rides. As we went into Storybook Village, one of the first rides we saw was the Dumbo ride. Kyle seemed interested in it...until it started going around and he saw how high Dumbo was flying. After that, he was content to watch.

The Next Big-Boy Step!

We interrupt this stream of posts and pictures of Disneyland to bring you this special, up-to-the-moment (or at least within 24 hours) report....
Kyle went pee-pee on the potty for the very first time tonight!

He is getting to be such a big boy!

Anyway, thought you might like to know. :-)

Disneyland '08 - Part II

Welcome to Part II of the Disneyland '08 trip!

We are finally bringing you some much anticipated pictures of the shortest member of our household. There were quite a few pictures to choose from, so I took great pains to sift through them all to bring you the ones that I thought best represented our trip. (You may now experience feelings of sympathy for my plight...NOT!)

Disneyland '08 - Part I

Just to make this ever more painful for those who are awaiting these pictures, giving a shout out to the old Heinz ketchup commercials and their little "Anticipation" jingle, this will be the first installment of pictures of our 2008 Disneyland vacation.

Because of the quantity of pictures, I thought it would be best to break this up into various sections of the trip so as to keep the size of posts to a minimum. Also, against my nature, I am beginning to post these pictures before even posting the Thanksgiving pictures which, I can assure you, is mentally and emotionally taxing for me. My somewhat obsessive-compulsive tendencies in this area are causing me fits that these are not being posted in chronological order.

Toddler's Time-Out

I just thought that I had to post this. It amazes me that this kiddo is just so darn cute....even when he's in trouble!!

Getting Behind

Yes, I know I'm getting behind. You're probably wondering where the pictures are from Thanksgiving. I'm going to have quite a bit of posting to do in the near future.

So, to give you a teaser... I will have not only pictures from Thanksgiving, but also pictures from the day after Thanksgiving when Aunt Caroline, Grandpa Tug, William and Darcy and Elizabeth and Elijah came to visit and hang out.
