Month 20 - May 25

The word for Caleb this month is goofy!! He has been so silly with his laughter, "jokes", wrestling/tackling/rough housing, and playful heart.  His favorite time of day is when Daddy comes home from work and they roll all over the floor giggling and playing.  It is a great way to end the day.  Enjoy a lot of pictures of what we have been doing this month:

Our neighbor's sister was in town visiting and she snapped some amazing pictures of Caleb.

At a patio furniture store, such a fun chair!  Too bad we don't have this on our patio.

We began the month with a nice trip to Austin so that Julie could perform in the Alumnae Dance with her friends that she grew up dancing with.  The Shirley McPhail School of Dance (SMSD) Performing Troupe had their Spring Show and brought back the "Has Beens" to show them how it used to be done.  It was a ton of fun and brought back a lot of fond memories.  During the weekend to Austin we were able to see Christalyn's softball game (she is a natural)!!!  Sad we didn't see one of TJ's games but maybe next year. 

Caleb's at a ball game and he is pushing a pink baby doll stroller-too cute!

After getting worn out from pushing dolly around, Caleb had some cuddle time with "Papa" (which is just precious when Caleb says his name).  Papa begins at a very young age, teaching his grandchildren his name and Caleb has it down pat.

The girls Julie danced with.  It was a "Joyful, Joyful" Time!

Time with Great-Mimi

The girls in our Community group have been getting together for a play date in our church's "Mat Room."  The kids have a blast and the moms are able to talk a little.  It is so Fun!

The weekend after a wonderful Mother's Day, Caleb and Julie drove down to Austin again stopping in to be Christalyn's first clients with her new business.  She created a binder of pictures and was selling them in the neighborhood.  Christalyn made quite the dough in a few days (she is such an entrepreneur)!

 

Caleb was so goofy and coming behind Christalyn to "scare." What a laugh! 

TJ was so sweet to play with Caleb during our visit in Georgetown. 

Caleb's first taste of corn on the cob-he loved it!

Julie's cousin, Lisa's graduated from Texas State. Lisa is like a sister to Julie (don't you think they look similar) and will soon be 7th & 8th grade Math Teacher!!! Yeah!  We are so proud of you!

Caleb had had enough and was done but this is a cute picture of Lisa and her boyfriend, Matt. 

That Sunday, we made it home for our church's HUGE baptism.  It was an amazing time with thousands of people having a party celebrating the public profession that over 200 people made that day.  One of Julie's sweet girls, Sarah, was baptised.  What a joyous occasion!  I am sure that the fun day we had is just a mere glimpse of the party God was having in Heaven. 

After the worship music, testimonies, they opened up the grill, the sno-cones, bounce houses, and the party began.  Caleb was "ATTACHED" to a ball the entire time (we made the mistake of not bringing one for him to play with but people were nice enough to share).  Below are just a few pictures of Caleb trying to play soccer with the big kids.  He almost looked like Monkey in the Middle with no fear of the ball coming right after him. 

We have been blessed to have a few friends come over for a play date to break in the new playscape.  We are sad we didn't get more pictures of our friends loving the backyard adventure but here is Colton enjoying a good time.  (Colton and Caleb are just 3 days apart and were born in the same hospital.  Funny thing was our due dates were 2 weeks later but we both went into labor early!  We are now in a playgroup with him and love watching these two grow together) 

Precious Smashed face!

Caleb wants to do everything Daddy does!

Our Date Night-Craig surprised Julie by taking her to the Taste of Addison to enjoy yummy food and enjoy Bob Schneider and Train perform.

Nothing says summer like...Running through sprinklers (or touching it with your hands and running away from it).  Maybe later this summer when the water is warmer, Caleb will enjoy it more.

Caleb is now complete with his summer gear-Car keys, golf clubs, and a outie belly button for the world to see.
