"Let's go fly a kite! Up to the hightest hight! Up in the atmosphere, up where the air is clear!" Look forward to many more kite flying days, think Caleb is already getting the hang of it!

Having TONS of fun in Cracker Barrell with the Goda girls!

They got Caleb a special book!



And apparently he wanted it all to himself! :)

October 13 was Caleb's 2nd birthday! We are still amazed that God has given us this little boy! The past 2 years have definately been something we could have never been prepared for! :) Living away from our families has been hard, especially when there are so many things we want to share first hand with them. Every new thing Caleb does is exciting for us and, although we know we are exactly where God wants us, it's difficult and sad at times not being able to be together. But God is so gracious, and we are thankful for our "family" here who are so kind and loving, overwhelmingly generous and have been with us every step of the way these past two years. I fought back tears as I saw this banner...for our son...for us. Thank you!

What a big boy!!!!


What a night! We had music....

....and dancing....


...and of course....CAKE!






Wow! Robby and Sheila got Caleb a guitar! Dad is SOOOOO happy. :) Thank you, Jim and Carol for giving him his first lesson!

So, as if Sheila wasn't SUPER popular before....she is definately IT now! :) So thankful for so many dear friends who love us and our son so much! We are blessed!




























Long day...I just want to watch Mickey Mouse...with Mickey Mouse.

Thank you, Janie Smith, for my treat!






Saturday was a perfect day for a teen picnic, bow and skeet shoot! Caleb LOVES being outside and even more being with his dad. Even though his dad was so busy, he took time for a little hike with his son...what a guy. And yes, we protect those little ears!
