Another Birthday Celebration

Do all kids love Ring Around The Rosie as much as ours do?

I took this video of Sawyer, because before I turned it on he was talking up a storm. He was just babbling away. As soon as as I turned it on, he stopped.(camera shy? No, not in our family!) I did get his cute smile and his wiggles of excitement:-)We had another wonderful birthday party at the farm. I'm glad my sister, Andrew and Maggie were able to come and celebrate with us. The kids had a lot of fun playing together. I don't know if I'd want that Elephun game at our place, unless of course it was in the basement or outside. They sure love it, though. It was interesting to watch how Maggie was with Sawyer. She was so gentle and so curious. Thank you all so very much, for being as generous as you were to us. I'm very lucky to have all you as part of my family. I love all of you!

Happy Birthday To My Better Half

Caleb Is A Great Bowler

I love watching his expressions and movements when he throws the ball, and while he waits patiently to see how he does. He's so serious when that ball moves down the alley. He was very proud of himself and never disappointed. Turn the volume down, when he gets a spare. I get a little excited. I just love cheering him on:-)

Bowling Pictures

Here are some pictures from our first bowling trip. For some reason the videos are not cooperating tonight, so I'll try again tomorrow. Because you have to see him in action. He did a great job, as you can see by the score sheet. Must be beginner's luck, right?? Actually, David and I probably would have done worse if it wasn't for those nice bumpers:-) haha! He also loved the shoes, he asked if he could bring them home.
(Oh and by the way, he picks out his own clothes.)

Because he did such a good job, we let him play one driving, video game.

Bed Time Story

David is reading Caleb," Owl At Home." One of his old favorites. We got some good "Frog and Toad" books too. We'll start those next. Caleb loves his books.
I really enjoy the quiet time after bath. Reading, snuggling, and sharing a little bit of our day. He's a great kid! We love having him here with us.

"Hi Bounce Zone."

We've been able to spend more time with Caleb, since the new year. It's been great to have him around more. He and his Daddy are bonding more and more all the time. He was here a couple days this past week. David had to bring him to school on Thursday and Caleb did not want to go. He said, he wanted to stay home with Daddy and hang out. He did go to school and then we picked him back up on Friday, for the weekend. We went out to dinner with Amanda, Andrew and Maggie. We also went to Border's bookstore. The kids were in heaven, they loved the place. Caleb got a few new books and thought we had to bring them back when we were done with them. He thought it was great that we could keep them. These two kids ask to go to The Bounce Zone on a regular basis. When we drive by the building, they both say,"Hi Bounce Zone." They have a blast and are very ready for their nap when we're done:-)Apparently, Maggie thought Caleb had something in his mouth that she didn't have. So, he showed her there was nothing.
When Maggie went down the big slides, she always asked Auntie to go with her. Which of course I obliged. After the 4th time I said,"Auntie is tired. You and Caleb go without Auntie this time." So, in this first video when Caleb says,"Shell, Shell." He says, "Shell aren't you so proud of me, I held Maggie's hand so she didn't ask for Auntie." He's such a great kid.
This 3rd video is Maggie going up this particular slide, that the last time we came she couldn't reach the steps on. She can now:) She's such a little peanut, all 23lbs of her.
