PS.
Because we are on the move, moving in, settling, and getting Alex started in school..I can only hope that I stay on top of posts. But I'm sensing there might be a little delay...
I DID however finish a crafting post I started a while ago, but because I started it before the "Baby Beckham" post, you have to scroll down a ways to see it.
Enjoy.
Talk to you soon.

Ch-ch-ch-Changes
Sometimes change is good.
The contents of our apartment are loaded and heading out to Philadelphia in a diesel truck. So originally my mom, Dean, and I were going to drive the Jeep while Alex and Andy drove Alex's car....but after our Carter family trip to Jackson Hole last week, we realized there was no way. Apparently Dean has started hating being in his car seat. So now, as Alex, Andy, and my brother Joel head across Nebraska, we are hanging in a hotel in Salt Lake City until our flight to Philly on Tuesday. Score.
Sometimes change is bad.
It has been EXTREMELY hard to say 'see you later' to all our friends and family out here as we head Eastward this week. We will miss Bountiful and our friends there, we'll miss our jobs, our family and friends scattered throughout Utah. Thanks for everything you have all done for us and our little family. We'll think about you often. Please keep in touch!
Sometimes change CAN be good.
I am looking forward to a new apartment with 2 bedrooms and a dishwasher. I am excited to be apart of the East Coast for a while. I have heard that people make some of their best and life-long friends while away at Med School. So, to those other med school families out there in Philadelphia, here we come... excited to meet you, know you, and be best friends!
This experience will be whatever we make it. Let's do this thing.

Baby Beckham
Dean's friend Beckham was born last Friday, and while Alex and I were able to see him in the hospital, Dean wasn't allowed because of hospital policy. So last night they finally met.
Alex met Beckham's dad, Zach, at Weber where they had a few classes together and got through the MCAT together. They introduced their wives who were named Allyson Paige and Alyson Paige, who became fast friends. We were able to go through pregnancy together and keep each other company when both husbands worked night shifts. It's been fun to experience becoming parents together also. We'll miss them terribly when we part ways to head off to different Med schools, Alex to Temple and Zach to Ohio State.
Here are kiddos, destined to be friends.
(Can't believe how much Dean has grown in 10 weeks! Our little chunky brewster)
Now some of our cute boy, because I can't help it.

&
Make Your Own Dress Form
(out of Duct Tape!)
How About Orange:

(which includes, but is not limited to: crepe paper roses, folding napkin like collared shirt,
and adding ruffles to things)
All Things Thrifty:
Furniture
(Not only does this lady transform/repurpose old furniture, she gives tutorials!)
Katie Did:
I found her on a friends blog and fell in love. She cute ideas, quick projects, and tutorials!
This is where I found the freezer-paper-stencil idea. I've definitely put this to use...blog post to come :)
I am Momma, Hear Me Roar:
Also into creating and refashioning

Happy (late) Birthday Uncle Joey
Because Dean baby wasn't here to make cute videos on Joel's birthday in April, we decided to let Dean say happy birthday now.
Enjoy Pogie!
(to make this extra cute...when I played this clip for Alex, Dean heard it and started talking back)

Dean videos
Finally caught the 'squeak toy' on camera! Sometimes it's a little louder than this, but you get the idea. The best is when he does it several times in a row and it sounds like he's laughing.

2 months with Dean
These days Dean:
plays
smiles
talks
kicks
holds toys
sleeps
squeaks
gains weight (13lbs now)
sleeps 5-6 hours...every so often
Motherhood is great. He is so sweet and lovable, makes my job easy. There was one week he was fussy. But now he is happy, sleeping, pooping, and getting bigger. I think he gets frustrated that he can't run around and do things on his own. He gets bored easy and loves being outside. I love learning new things about this little d
