Caleb

Here are some recent pictures of Caleb. He's just learning to vocalize. This kid loves to shriek!! Yep, that sweet face will turn red, the lower lip quivers, then a high-pitched shriek erupts. However, there are also shrieks of joy. In that case, he grins so big, opens his mouth and wiggles all over as the shriek erupts. Ear-splitting volume. High pitch. Energy.
Mostly, though, the trick is figuring out which is the happy shriek and which is the angry shriek because they can change immediately. Both ways. Back and forth.
Gotta love this face. I'm glad he's found his voice. I can't wait till he can say "Grandma."

Ian's visit to our House

Ian had fun at our house. He used the electric broom on the rugs,
worked so much he slept well,
ate LOTS of applesauce,
played with the cat,
and explored the outdoors with Grandpa. He especially loved the wind chimes, the mantel clock chimes, and the piano. I think he loves music!! We had such a good time with him. I can't wait until Caleb is old enough to spend the weekend at our house, too!

We're home!

Wow, vacation at the beach was great! I don't have photos ready yet, but here's one to show we had a good time!

Kitty update

Gunny's wound has completely healed although the fur hasn't grown back yet. I'd post the photo I took, but it's too blurry! :(

I got to see BOTH boys this week...what a treat!!

4th of July visit with Caleb

We had such a good time with Caleb this weekend! Of course, we enjoyed his parents, too! :) We just rested, ate, read, watched fireworks on TV, went to church, ate some more, etc.

Caleb enjoyed pool time, but Mommy got stung 3 times by a red wasp. OUCH! Thankfully, no huge reaction to the stings.
