Big Day for Carter!

Many of you have been following the story of Hannah's birthday twin, Carter. Born on the same day over a year ago, they both wound up in the same NICU. Carter developed an intestinal problem, which led to liver problems, which caused the family to relocate to Boston for treatment, and eventually Carter underwent an emergency transplantation of most of his digestive system back in May. He's been in the hospital for most of his life, the past few months recovering from the transplant.

Well, if things went as planned today, Carter and his amazing parents left the hospital and moved into an apartment in Boston, where they will adjust to life outside the hospital and prepare for the journey back to Texas. To say we've been looking forward to this day would be a vast understatement. Our next goal is for Carter to get back home to Texas and get settled in enough to have visitors. One little girl visitor, in particular. Can't wait for them to meet.




Hannah's been inventing little games for herself lately. One dinnertime game involves biting the spoon after each mouthful and not letting go. Click here to see some video (8MB) of that game.




Another favorite game is Hide-From-Daddy, which you can witness by clicking here. I edited out me saying "Peekaboo!" and "I see you!" every time she rounds the corner, because it was really loud, since I was holding the camera . . . but mostly because I sound like a complete moron whenever I talk to Hannah. She must think I'm impaired in some way, and is just entertaining me to be charitable.
