This poor old blog...it seems that downloading pictures from our camera is a thing of the past.

Matt plugged it in last night to find that we hadn't gotten any new pictures off of the camera since FEBRUARY!!!!!!!

Between getting ready for the new baby's arrival -August 25th- and babysitting four days a week and trying to keep up with Caleb and housework and church and the new scrapbooking business...yikes! So many excuses!

I apologize and will try to do better!!!

Christmas Memories

LOVE MY STOCKING

A long time coming! Apologies for those of you who have been checking and waiting for some pictures of the little man! My computer crashed right before Christmas vacation and I have finally had some time in the last couple of days to get it working well for me again.

BARGAINING WITH COUSIN KELTIE?

THE BIGGEST BENGALS FAN

WHY DID WE BUY YOU ANYTHING ELSE?

Life has been a whirlwind as usual...We travelled to Dubuque for Christmas to spend time with my family for a week. We were glad to be there, just all of the time in the car (running into storm after storm) was a ALOT tough! We made it though and were so glad to be able to spend time TOGETHER. Time to move closer Jen and Eric! :0)

DON'T WORRY -DADDY GOT PRESENTS TOO!

SORRY TO DISTURB YOU KELTIE

THE OTHER BIGGEST BENGALS FAN

Caleb is GROWING! He got his immunizations 2 weeks ago and is in the 97% for his height. He is so BUSY and learning the ropes of being a boy and a toddler. So are his parents...He has had quite the adjustment since we got home as we have been babysitting a 1 year old little girl 4 days a week. He is learning how to share and how to touch GENTLY.

The First of Many...

Trips to the ER

Caleb had a fall into the end table about a week and a half ago and got a pretty good gash. Thankfully they only needed to glue it back together -it's healing quite well!

Haircuts

Caleb finally had his first haircut on Saturday. He looks like such a little boy now.
He was so good and looks SO handsome!

At first I wasn't too sure...

Thank goodness I had my Cheerios...

Wow -this is fun!

The finished product -SO HANDSOME!
