Up to this point...

We've been SO busy the past few weeks (months?). Shalon came to visit for a few weeks with her two boys and we WORKED so hard to get some things cleaned up her at the house. She has mad organization skills and boy...we were exhausted! We're still catching up!

Apart from the work, there were some smiles. :-)


So, starting from the top left, we'll go clock wise:

1) On his 11-month birthday, Caleb and Daddy enjoyed lots of ice cream!
2) Caleb sometimes likes to sleep with us in the morning. This particular morning (top right) he decided to use me as a recliner. :-)
3) Happy face after a satisfying nap.
4) Eating mashed potatoes! love it
5)When I came back from Arkansas, we went to a "free" ice cream fair at a public park (liars!); how we actually expected it to be free, I don't know. So we bought Caleb a balloon and it popped, so we went home. It was fun just to be together as a family again.

Same deal:
1+2) Flower Justin brought home for me on our anniversary; we went kayaking to celebrate! We went later in the day and because of possible inclement weather, we got both kayaks for $10 bucks! It turned out to be beautiful! I did get beached out in the middle of the lake and my paddle was all tangled up in the roots of the overturned trees...but no fear! Justin came to my rescue. My hero!
3) Caleb's a bit wary of the big bullets at Battleship Cove. Fun times with cousins!
4) Justin with Caleb and cousin A. They got to be such good friends; I was sad to see them go!
5) Caleb disgruntled face

things we didn't get pictures of:
1) Caleb taking his diaper off, eating his poo, throwing his poo, and Daddy frantically calling for back up.




Oh, but we did get a good picture of professional Justin to send off with his applications. As an update, we have our first interivew (I guess it's really just his, huh?) in about 2 weeks! We're hoping for more!
