THE TABOR TIMES

Kendall's preschool put on a Spring Carnival last week. Most of it was for the older kids, but I think Kendall had a great time anyways! And Ryan was there too, but he was apparently in charge of the camera this time around so he didn't make it in any pictures. I took one for the team and went down the big blow-up slide with Kendall. My mouth is wide open because I was saying, "WOOOOO!"  so that Kendall would think it was fun! Ha. We all took a train ride around the parking lot. Trying to take the camera from her Dad. We bounced on the side of the bounce house  and watched the other kids play. Grammy and serious-face Kendall

Kendall's school had a professional photographer come and take pictures of each class about a month ago. We had the option of paying a small fee to have several individual pictures taken. We were impressed with the photographer's pictures on their website, so we decided to do it. We're so glad we did because we love how they turned out.  Kendall's class - Ms. Suzanne and Ms. Kristi are Kendall's sweet teachers! I love how all the babies except one are just staring.

Last Saturday was such a beautiful day, so I decided to look up to see if there were any good parks around us. It turns out that we have two within 5 minutes of us that I never even knew existed. I guess I've just never paid attention before having a little one. So we ventured out to do a little swinging, sliding, and walking. Kendall won't keep a regular sun hat on her head.  But she'll keep this ball cap on with no problem. Having fun swinging Not so sure at first about the slide Loving it now! \ Total Mom bias - but she's precious!

Kendall turned 9 months old on Easter Sunday. She started army crawling this month. Girl can get around quick! She also started eating finger foods this month. She previously wanted nothing to do with them, but is now really excited to eat puffs and other finger foods. I think these pictures speak for themselves. Kendall is super squirmy and super busy these days. So attempting to take her 9-month picture was quite comical. I thought the lens cap would help. Silly me. Distracted for one second with a new Easter book.  This didn't last long. This one was taken with her dad in the room.  Hence the reason she's actually smiling and staying semi-still.

We had the annual "Carson" family Easter get-together at Lake Oconee this year, as always. But this year, I had two extra people with me! Since Ryan works at our church, we have never spent Easter together since getting married. But this year, Ryan had someone fill in for him at church so that he could come. Little K-bug also had her first Lake Oconee Easter experience. We had a great time, and Kendall made sure to give everyone the furrowed brow. But she did have plenty of laughs and smiles to go around too! Kendall was SUCH a daddy's girl all day. Ryan was eating it up.

My favorite times of the year are when the seasons first change from Summer to Fall, and from Winter to Spring. I love the cool but nice temperatures that come with both of these season changes. And the sky is so blue and gorgeous. I just love it. And since we don't have spring-like temperatures for long in Georgia, we try to get out and enjoy it as much as possible. This past weekend was so much fun. K-bug was a lot of fun and such a trooper for all of the activities we had planned! She and I signed up to do the Run for Orphans "fun run" in Alpharetta on Saturday morning. I was a little nervous because I wanted to be there by 7 or 7:15 to register. Kendall doesn't normally wake up until that time, and she can be a little cranky if you wake her up too early! But apparently she knew we had something fun planned because she was up and ready for the day at 6:15. We had a great time with Ms. Edde, one of our favorite people at Weekday, in the fun run.   Hanging out in...
