The Sacramento Koenigs: Carter Gets His Dem On

Welcome!

We're thrilled to share our happenings with family and friends across the country. We've been married for almost five years. We moved to Sacramento, CA in May 2007 to begin new careers and a new chapter in our lives together. Since then, we have purchased our first home, adopted another dog (Felix) in addition to Easy, and welcomed our first child, Carter, into the world in 2008. Our second child (sex and name still TBD) will be arriving near Halloween this year. All of these topics will, we're sure, be the subject of future posts. Check back regularly for updates! David, Jackie, Carter, Baby Koenig, Easy & Felix

Carter Gets His Dem On

Last weekend was the 2009 California Democratic Party Convention here in Sacramento. Both Dave and I had to work at various times, so we spent the entire weekend at and around the Convention Center. So much fun to see all our SoCal friends on our home turf! I got the stomach flu on Thursday/Friday, however, so Dave and Carter had to go it alone the first day. I got tons of mobile pictures e-mailed to me from friends and colleagues as they ran into my boys. Sooo cute to see Carter making the rounds! He was perfect both days we took him, too -- he is one social baby!!! Highlights of the Convention? 1) I missed it, but I'm told that Dave and his friend Kan were quite the caretaking pair! They had several people ask them how long they've "had Carter." In case you didn't pick up on that, people thought they were gay. And 2) Gavin Newsom's event with Wyclef on Saturday night. We had so much fun and Wyclef rocks!!!

Carter with Kan in one of the caucuses. His onesie says "I'm voting Democrat in 2028" (thanks Macaria!), the sticker on the front says "Eric Bauman for CDP VP" and the button says "I support Humane Legislation" (thanks Jennifer - we love the Humane Society!). What a proud mama, I am!
