This post is a little bit late, but better late than never, right? In February, I flew home to Boise for a week and a half. It was really great to see my family and the dog, even though the dog didn't recognize me after two years (we think he may be getting senile). He warmed up to me after a while. Carter had a pretty great time napping and playing with his Nana West.
We took him swimming for the first time at the YMCA. He loved it!
While we were in Boise, Carter got to meet two members of the "Quad," Cami and Brooke.
It was also really great to be able to spend some quality girl time, sans baby on my trip. My mom watched Carter and Brooke and I were able to go to the newly rededicated Boise temple together. It looks really gorgeous inside. Halfway through the trip, my mom and I drove to Herriman, Utah to stay with my sister, Noelle. It was great to spend time at their house eating good food and catching up with them. It was really fun for Carter to meet his Aunt Noelle, his Uncle Nic, and his cousins, Luke and Max for the first time.
Max and Carter are exactly five months apart, so I think they'll be great buddies when they get a little bit older. Max was pretty curious about Carter.
All of the cousins with Nana West.
While we were staying at Noelle's, Carter got to meet another Quad member, Merrilee, for the first time.
We were also able to meet up with my brother in law and sister in law, Brandon and Jessica at Kneaders for some french toast. I will be overjoyed if Kneaders or Cafe Rio ever make it out to PA!
Carter also got to spend a little bit of time with his great grandparents.
Unfortunately, there were no cherry blossoms, but I think they had fun anyway! Here are pictures of everyone from Easter
