Back in Action

After a very busy few weeks, the Carlson's are "back" in Reston and ready to enjoy the last month or so of summer at home. Although circumstances around all our traveling have been less than fortunate, we've had extra opportunities to see our family members in Oklahoma and Connecticut and feel blessed for that time. Plus, Ella just received an award from the FAA as the most traveled baby in 2008. Can any 10 month old baby out there beat 8 plane trips since birth!?!

Despite all the recent traveling, we've squeezed in a few events here and there - most recently was the amazing wedding of our good friends Shaun and Sandra. It was such a wonderful celebration and so much fun! Also,Tim and Erika took some time out to visit a couple of wineries and were pleased that Ella didn't need a sip of wine to be her normal relaxed and happy little baby - certainly making our wine date so enjoyable! Below are some pictures from the past month or so....enjoy!

What adorable pics!! So happy to see some new ones on here. I check every day :) You guys look great and appear to have been keeping very busy. I can't believe that Ella is 10 months old. Where has the time gone?
