Photos! Photos! Photos!

Yes, its been awhile since we updated. So now you have many, many photos to view. Carson had his 15 month checkup and is now 27.5 lbs and 34 inches tall. He is a very healthy little boy. He already has a golf swing... mention golf and he claps his hands together and swings them around. Daddy is so proud! I can't even begin to list all the things he says now... "outside" is his favorite, "i did it", "airplane", "bubbles"... are just a few. He has also become very independent, wanting to do things himself.

All else is well with the Hammers. We're glad that it is FINALLY getting a little cooler around here. We're looking forward to getting Carson out on the golf course when it cools off.

My best friend, Tina, came from Texas for a nice visit and joined our Thursday Golf Ritual.

Carson likes to wear Mom's sunglasses


Whattcha got there, Sammie?


Tina & I painted martini glasses one night.

Oh, the agony of being a Cubs fan...

This was the sky behind our house one night as a storm rolled in.

"Uncle Lloyd" - Adam reading to Carson

Carson is now tall enough to get in his toy bin...
he just can't get out by himself yet.

Carson and I made it home just last weekend for a visit. At LaVonne's house (my mom's cousin) they have a Cubbie Bear. The tradition is he faces the house when they lose and the street when they win. Unfortunately, he had his back to the street that day. Carson took quite a liking to him.


At the Wulfekuhle's (my cousin), we all got together. Johnny was having fun with air hockey.


Caleb concentrating hard... getting the "chair" advantage in the game

Baby Walter... he's grown so much!!!

Sarah & Ryan brought their Nintendo Wii to my parents for some entertainment...
My mom and I played too much (my arm was sore!) and my dad got into the golf and bowling!
