House guests

This weekend we had two extra bodies in our house :) Our friends Tara and Chris came to visit from Bowling Green! They got in town Friday night and were here until Sunday around dinner time! They were our first house guests we've got to really "show-off" our new city too! We had fun visiting a few St. Louis landmarks! Of course our first stop was....you guessed it....the Arch! We didn't actually go up in it this time because we didn't feel like waiting until the next tour started so we just enjoyed the pretty day in the park for a little while! Of course we captured a few pictures...This was Carson's first trip to the arch! My goal is to take a picture, every October of our family in this exact same spot :)

After the arch came the next best thing in St. Louis... The Anheuser-Busch Brewery! Tara, Chris, and Carson had never been on the tour of the brewery before so they all enjoyed seeing the place and learning about the massive quantities of beer they have there. haha

After a full day of site seeing around town we headed back to our casa for a beers, pizza, and football. Combined with the good company and of course our smiley baby it was a perfect night! Sunday we did a little shopping at the St. Louis Mills outlet mall, and then dropped of Tara and Chris at the airport :) We really had a great weekend and enjoyed having them stay....Hopefully they'll be back soon!

They did however make us a wee bit jealous while they were here. Both days they slept until 9:00 am. What? Who does that? We can't even remember the last time we slept that late..... On Sunday we had already fed and played with Carson, went to get donuts, and ran in Target for some meds before they woke up. My goodness, Carson had already taken a nap before they got up. We are jealous. Maybe someday we'll be able to sleep in again, probably when Carson is in college...

On a side note: In my previous post Hook em' Horns I explained Carson's way of pacifying himself :) This weekend while we were wandering around the museum that's under the Arch we ran into this huge replica of a longhorn. Carson, being the photogenic little guy he is, knew exactly what Mommy was trying to capture in this picture.

This might very well be my favorite picture of Carson to date. It really doesn't get much better than that. I love this guy!
