The First Posting


Welcome Friends and Family to the Medlin Family Blog. Candice, Carter and I will try to update this frequently to keep everyone posted on the (mis)adventures of our daily life. Unfortunately, we do not get to see everybody as frequently as we would like. We will be posting photos, videos (if we can get it figured out), and maybe some other interesting tidbits.

Today, Carter got his first pair of shoes. Of course, they had to be Stride Rite. He is cruising around now. It is so neat to see him pull himself up and walk up and down the couch. He is growing up so fast. It seems like just yesterday he was giving us his first smile.

Carter's teeth are also coming in. He already has two on the bottom, and is getting ready for four more on the top. Soon he will be able to eat unpuree'd food.

Candice is still looking for a new job. She has already discontinued her benefits, so she can leave Pier 1. Everyone please pray for her to find a job she likes.

Jared is still trying to get up early and go to the gym. Some mornings 4:30 is just TOO early. Otherwise he is still working at Triplett-King as a Project Engineer. Things are steady, but not busy.

So long for now, we look forward to seeing you all.


Sweet Carter O' Mine
