Its been a long time...

Since I have posted. Carson and I went out of town for a week to NC to visit my family and then every time i attempt to post, my computer dies. So here is an attempt to post a short blog. the main reason for the trip down south was my sister, Kristiina's baby shower. i've attached a few pics from the event. it was such a joy to see my sister glowing (in beauty, excitment and anticipation)! Lord willing, next time i post her and little baby boy (due Feb 26th), i will have pictures of the little fella to include. i promise to try and post again soon with more detials of what is going on here in the smith household (i just don't want to push my luck with this computer)!!!
