The Carpenter Family

Justin and I moved to Nevada in August 2005. We love it here. However we miss our family and friends back home. Our church here is great! We have been married for 7 years. We have one Daughter, Isabella who was born Oct 19 2006 and a son Caleb due in Feb of 2009! This blog is for our Family and Friends to catch up on how we are doing. What a great invention!

    Lots to catch up on!




    Well let's see Bella is now 3 months old and is such a joy to Justin and I! We love her so much! The smiles, the talking, the amount of growth she has done, it's all amazing! We think she might be teething already! I read you can get teeth as early as 3 months! Justin just had his 28th birthday! Wow is he getting old! Kidding! It's hard to believe that I will be 27 in June! Kenzie and I were just saying how we have our 10 year reunion in one year! Crazy! I will let Justin update about The Gathering but we have had some great numbers lately! We had 62 last week! Yea! Work is good and not so stressful anymore now that Bella can be entertained for longer than 10 min at a time. I can actually get some work done, take a shower, and clean up the house all in one day! I would never give up the opportunity unless aboslutly necessary to keep her at home with me and work from home. It is such a blessing, IT's HARD! But I know that this is what I want and what I think is best for her. Not many mom's these days have the opportunity to work from home and take care of their kids, alot have to go to daycare. Don't get me wrong, it's hard to juggle both but I always remind myself that this is what I want to do. Although I could make more money outside the home, Idon't want to give this up! Maybe someday I won't have to work but I don't mind it either as long as I can have my kids with me and I can give them what the need and some of what they want! Our church is doing great! Last weekend we had 1951! Yea! Pastor wanted 2000 and that looks to be a sinch! Yea! Well that's all I can think of and Bella is waking up from her nap so I will post some pics and be on my way!

    Bella's 2 months Old!

    Well I am a little late since the holidays were here. But she turned 2 months old on the 19th of Decemeber. I left my camera in Seattle so i don't have any pictures yet of Christmas. It was a lot of fun and we got to see almost everyone we wanted to. Bella got her shots today (the other pediatrician she had didn't have her shots all ready so I switched, long story) Anyway, she weighed in at 12lbs 9 oz. and is about 23 inches long! I can't even believe it! She loves to talk and smile and play. She sits in her swing for a long time. She even loves to watch TV! I put her in her jumper exercaucer thingy last night and she just stared at it and loved it! Once I get my camera back I will update with pictures and stuff.
