Poppa arrived on Friday afternoon and was pretty excited to see his little buddy. Poppa decided to ride in the back seat with Carter on the way home from the airport, but initially Carter wasn’t real sure about this new person who was sitting in his turf in the back seat. Poppa brought a quacking duck that he uses when we Skype but Carter still studied Poppa with a furrowed brow for a good fifteen minutes. But once Carter decided Poppa and the duck were ok they carried on the longest conversation and it was all smiles and laughter for the rest of the weekend.
The weather this weekend was absolutely gorgeous. We spent as much time as possible outside. Poppa treated Carter to breakfast outside while Adam and I worked in the yard.
We planted a blueberry bush and a fig tree. Poppa pulled a pretty substantial shrub that had gotten a little out of control. I pruned (read “butchered”) all of our shrubs while Adam created a cool criss-cross design on our fence for our jasmine plants to grow on.

The jasmine is down and the wire is going up:
Adam trained the jasmine to grow along the wire. Once it fills in a bit it should be pretty cool:
We also went for a jog at a nearby park while Poppa and Carter explored. (Remember that 10K I mentioned a while ago? It is in 3 weeks!!!) We also let Carter explore the outdoors some more. He ate some more leaves, crawled on the grass, and climbed a tree (with a little help from Daddy).

We were sad to see Poppa go but enjoyed watching him and Carter enjoy each other so much.
When Carter is happy he kicks, and kicks, and kicks. Being with Carter, and mommy and daddy, this past weekend, poppa was ready to kick too. I told Carter that he did a good job chosing his mommy and daddy.
