Catching Up

Life has been crazy of late -- new job, a few out of town weekends, etc.


All the while, our lil' Campbell has crossed the 5 and 6 month thresholds!


Here she was at 5 months (thanks April!)

And now, here she is at 6 months!  Growing up so quickly...

Campbell is 4 Months Old!

Carter's First Yankees Game

Carter made his first trip to the Bronx, to celebrate Grandpa Lange's birthday and an early Father's Day present.   Hot dog, pretzel, a "Tex message", "Jorge juiced one", 8 innings from Andy, and a spotless 9th from Mo -- and Carter loved it all!

Phillies Opening Day

Carter and I went to Phillies opening day in Mid-April -- had a blast, and got to see the Clydesdales!

Carter on Easter Sunday Morning

Easter 2010

We've had a great run-up into Easter and a great and beautiful Easter Sunday as well.    A few photos to catch up with what's new...

Thanks to our friends Randy and Kathleen for hooking Campbell up with, what else, a jumper from Campbell's Soup!

Carter continues to develop more of a (quite strong and opinionated) personality on a daily basis -- catching him smiling for a picture is getting a bit harder.   Here's a snapshot of him rocking his "Aunt Rinney" stud outfit.

This is admittedly not the greatest picture of all time -- but it's a rare Daddy & Campbell moment on film.

We did manage to capture a shot of C&C with the Easter Bunny -- many thanks to a patient Easter Bunny and the beauty of digital cameras.

As usual, Stacey's baking won the day -- another successful Easter Bunny, with grass background as well this year.

And finally, a little snapshot into the Lange Family in April 2010 -- Campbell was NOT loving the sun, so special thanks to Uncle Nick for playing paparazzi.

Happy Easter!

Our Lil' Campbell is 3 Months Old!

Can't believe how quick these three months have gone -- from 20 inches of snow to 70+ degrees this weekend. And our lil' lady is keeping up with the changes as well. She has more and more of a personality every day and when she smiles back -- it just about melts your heart!

The Little Man Turns 3 - Party #2

After a great 'kids' party on Saturday, we hosted Carter's official birthday on Sunday.   He got some awesome gifts and loved being surrounded by family.

"DVD's!!!!  Meatballs and Lighting McQueen!"

"BATTERIES MOM AND DAD!!"

The World's Largest Birthday Cupcake...

All for a boy who we love as much as anyone could possibly be loved, and who was in need of some R&R after a great birthday weekend!   Happy birthday Carter!

The Little Man Turns 3 - Party #1

Almost 3 years ago to the moment (1152pm EST), our little man joined the world -- hard to believe! To appropriately celebrate the festivities, our resident party planner concocted the theme of "Chef Carter's", a restaurant owned and operated by a just-turned 3-year old, encouraging all attendees to "Mess with the best!"

Every attendee at the party had their own personalized apron waiting for them upon arrival....

But, Chef Carter's main event planner had just gotten started...

What does every good chef need?    A chef hat, of course...

So, upon arrival at the party, each guest (23 kids in all), stopped off to design and personalize their own individual chef hats...

Once the hats were complete, it was time to move to the first food station -- CUPCAKES.

Then, once the cupcakes had been whisked away into the ovens, it was time for station number two -- MAKE YOUR OWN PIZZA...

Pizza-making complete, we were able to get a picture of almost everyone in attendance...

Then, by a special type of birthday-party magic, the cupcakes were ready to be decorated with a customized (and personalized in some cases!) mix of icing and candies...

The crew then moved over for a sit-down lunch, featuring Carter's favorites -- PB&J, goldfish, drink boxes, cheese and pretzels!

What a party!
