After starting this blog almost three years ago, here I am at my 500th post! So much has happened during those years, but it seems like just yesterday! I have enjoyed this outlet of writing and posting pictures for family and friends. My plan is to make the first 500 posts into a book that our family can look back through in years to come. I want Caleb to be able to look back when he is older to see what he was doing at each stage, funny things he did and to see what I was like when I was younger and see into some of my thoughts.
Here's to 500 more!

Silly Pictures
Caleb had the flu, so on Monday we had to stay home from school. Caleb has some kind of fascination with his tuxedo (and his suit, for that matter) even though it is 12 mo. size and he is 3 years old!!! He saw his tuxedo hanging in the laundry room and kept asking if he could wear it. Being the meany that his Mommy is, she kept saying "No, you really don't need to wear your tuxedo. We're not going to wear it today." You would have thought I was the meanest Mom alive. Caleb boo-hoo'd and griped and complained and wanted his Daddy. But Daddy was out of town, so we wound up having to call Daddy to tell him how mean Mommy is.
He finally talked me into at least putting on the jacket...then the bow tie...then the vest...then the pants. So, he won the battle. But then it was so darn cute! So I had to take a picture!
My softball game got cancelled last night. My grandmother was going to come watch Caleb for me, so she just came over anyway so we could eat and play! We had a fun time! This is Caleb's funny face at dinner. Such a silly boy!

Caleb wanted to go up in the elevator at the Peabody hotel.
So up they went!
Buddies!

Hot Springs/DeGray Vacation: Day 6
On Day 6, we went to the Mid-America Science Museum. Afterwards we ate a late lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings (Chris & Caleb's favorite restaurant) and then tried to go to the Garvan Woodland Gardens. A big thunderstorm came through, so had to go back to the trailer. We opened the screen door of the trailer so we could enjoy the sounds of the nice thunderstorm.

I loved these things when I was a kid, and Caleb was no different!
Funky mirrors!
