Happy Turkey Day Travels

Me and Cheeks!

Me & Uncle Miggy

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!! So we traveled to Iowa by way of Nashville, TN. We were able to visit all of our family for a little bit. Everyone got a chance to hold him and squeeze his cheeks a little. I love to laugh and have a great time with all my friends and family says Caleb. I have been sick and got to go to the doctor for my first sick visit. Well I gotta go more family and cousins are arriving, Aunt SET and kiddo's!

Grandpa & I

Mister Mister

Well Mister, Mister and I are sitting here while Daddy is at band practice getting ready for worship service tomorrow. So Caleb and I are hanging out watching the movie Oceans and it just makes you realize even more what an amazing thing God has done with creation. He took the time to create my son hidden in my womb and yet look at all of the amazing animals he has created big, small, humongous and tiney tiny creatures He has created. Last night we were at our Churches Fall Festival. It was a good time a little cool. Caleb got to hang out with the girls from youth group so he was a happy. We got home he ate and went to bed he slept through the night. Mom woke up at 3 wondering what was happening...so i went and checked on him and he was as snug as a bug in a rug! So peaceful too. Well, I was hoping to post a few pic but am having issues. But I hope to get them up later today.... Caleb is 3 Months today! I want to show off how big he is getting....need to see Nello Amazing soon to as well as the bro's and sissy's.

Hello again.

Well, well, I am so glad we have started these blogs to stay in touch, however I wonder if someday our children will read back over these and just wonder why? Our household is down to three dogs now that Chateau and Banyan have gone back home....and from what I have heard they are loving their new home. Our three Molly, Moo and Rebel are adjusting. Doing much better then I thought they would. They enjoy having the chair to curl up in since Chateau has now vacated it. Moo misses having Banyan to curl up with but other then that they are doing great.
Caleb is getting big. He is a little over 12 pounds. He is a good humored baby. He loves to laugh and smile. He likes to play games with his Daddy. He is napping right now. Daddy is off on a trip to spend the night in a cave. Wahoo, thought better of us going along with him as fun as it would have been we decided to stay at home in our snuggly warm beds while Daddy is off on his adventure.Caleb's favorite favorite place is his changing table no matter what his mood if we put him on the changing table he is all smiles and cooing.(Even if we are not changing his diaper) He is also training Mommy to change him faster he loves sprinkling on me. He most recently got me at church before service. Ha!
Well we are off to a pig picking if he wakes up I am going to finish getting my potluck dish together. xoxo

Umm By popular demand.....

Daddy, Me & my first bottle! Yum-o!

So here is our little Mister having a grand ole time as I type this he has already succumbed to sleep....sigh I am going to have to wake him to feed him our schedule has gotten way off due to our vaccines....poor little man. So Aunt Janna and all the rest of the family here are some more shots of me. Mom has been busy trying to get in to the swing of work and trying to keep the house up. Dad has been great in getting the bottles ready for the next day and helping around the house. Dad dresses me and gets me ready for day care he makes sure i look handsome and matchy matchy, cause you know how "good" mom is at stuff like that! :-)

good afternoon or good morning not sure which...

So tomorrow Our llittle caleb will be two months old! How crazy is that. We are still adjusting to the whole new schedule. I am trying to figure out how to get some extra sleep ...between my work schedule, Michael's schedule, football, meetings, trips with the youth and fund raising. Just trying to find a few moments be him can tricky too.. So I am still trying to catch up on all my school stuff and keep up with what we are doing now....oh off to the races, it is time to eat and little man is letting me know he is ready any day now lady! ta-ta..

Boo Hoo......sniff....sniff....

So today was the first day of day care... a partial day. I was fine until Michael asked if i was ok or  boo hooing...then i lost it. It is a hard thing to  do especially when i realize my son will be in daycare and learning from other people instead of at home learning from mom or dad. I also realized the jobs we have do not allow us the luxury (isn't that crazy it's a luxury to raise your child yourself.) of raising our children. It also made me realize how much my mom and dad sacrificed to have a parent home with us. They gave up their time together....they worked 1st and 3rd shifts....youth ministers and teachers cannot do their job on a third shift or second shift schedule...so he is at day care laying in an unfamiliar crib, in a lot louder place as the kids run and play in the rooms around him. How sad. But all i have to do is look at this picture and it helps ease the heartache some. So just keep us in your thoughts and prayers the next few days, weeks....months.

ok another topic the dogs will be going through an adjustment today too. As they realize that I am not home all day to let them out whenever they want to go chase a squirrel. So we will hopefully start walking them too or should i say I will start walking them. They seem to be adjusting ok since the big dogs are gone, we shall see Molly is already trying to take over though. But it is going well with just the three land sharks living with us. We miss Banyan and Chateau though, hopefully they are enjoying the trip across country.
It was great to see my sister and her entire clan as they breezed through this coast and headed to the heartland.

Oh me oh my...

So things are going good here Caleb has gotten on schedule and off schedule. Sleep has come and gone. Our Grandmomma and Grandpoppa TN were here for the weekend to meet the new grandson. So it was a good weekend , we had fun spending time with them. So we are trying to get things ready preparing baby and mommy for the return to work. It will be a couple days of transition which I am not looking forward to, but it will all work out. So Caleb is starting to do some tracking of things with his eyes as well as following Mom or Dads voice. Well speaking of Dad he needs his computer...so ta ta for now love and hugs
