Just Playin' Around

Last night I got a quick video of Kirk and Caleb playing. This was the first time Caleb actually PUSHED the toys....he hasn't been that interested until now. I thought it was soooo cute. The video doesn't give it justice, but enjoy!

An Amazing Surprise!

This past week we got to go to Arizona as a family and visit my brother and his family. The best part was, IT WAS A SURPRISE TO HIM! I worked with Katie (my sis-in-law) to make this happen so Adam didn't have a clue! SO GREAT! We spent the week just hanging out and enjoying each other and the kids.

Caleb had a hard time adjusting to the time change (AZ is 3 hours behind us here in MI), so we were getting up at 5am each day, but we did okay. It was fun to see Caleb interact with the kids - Brooke, Kale and Banner - and to see them play together. We miss them grately and can't wait for Christmas when we can all play together again. Here are some pics from the trip!

New Word...

Caleb has learned a new word in the past few weeks....he can now say "PAPA". This is what all my dad's grandchildren call him. Caleb's vocabulary now is extended to "dada, mama, and papa". He sometimes tries to say other things and I think he gets down the syllables. For example, we said panda the other night and he said "ha da".....who knows! I just like to think my kids is super smart ;)

Anyways, I tried to record Caleb saying his new word.....it is kinda quiet (he was whispering it for some reason) so turn up the volume quite a bit and enjoy!!!!
