South Dakota

We spent a great weekend out of town visiting old friends in Brookings, South Dakota. Our friends, the Carson's, joined us in road-tripping up to see our mutual friends, the Falco's. The Carsons and Falcos each have 2 kids and Caleb loved interacting with all of them, especially the two little girls Molly and Jillian!

Here's the two ladies competing for his attention while he cruises by in his sweet ride!


Here's all the kids sitting down for a picture. (L to R - Joel, Jillian, Dominic, Caleb and Molly)


Here's Trish cuddling up with Dominic to watch a movie.


Caleb and Joel enjoying the same movie.


Here's Dominic showing us his muscles!


Caleb went swimming for the first time too. He loved the water and enjoyed sitting in this little turtle that the Carson's let him use!




We had such a great time. Thanks to the Falco's for hosting us and thanks to the Carson's for booking the rooms and coming along for the trip! It was a great time with great friends!

6 Months

Caleb reached 6 months old on Thursday, March 24th. He's getting huge too. He's now 18 lbs and 1.5 ozs. He's really scarfing down the veggies and rice cereal now, but he's also still a good little milk man too. He rolls over with ease now, almost sits up completely on his own, and loves to laugh and smile at everything! Here's some pictures through the last 6 months. The time has flown by.....

News Worthy

Andy was on the news once again this week because of ongoing flood damage clean-up at The Ledges. Channel 8 once again came up and talked to Andy about a timeframe for opening the canyon and what people can and can't do at the park this spring. Here's a snapshot of the story from our TV.

This picture is kind of old, but it's a good one, and I haven't put it on the blog yet.

SPRING BREAK!!!!!

Caleb's first Spring Break started last Monday afternoon. His Grandma Mary came over Monday night and babysat him on Tuesday and Wednesday! They had soooo much fun together playing and laughing.



Then his mommy stayed home all day Thursday and watched him too. Thursday night his Grandma Jean came over for the weekend as well!



On Saturday it was Caleb's Great Grandma Carol's birthday and she came down to Boone to spend the day with him! Here they are as he wishes her happy birthday!



Caleb & his Pa did some bonding as well. Here they are Saturday night watching some of the NCAA basketball tournament from their favorite chairs.





Unfortunately by Saturday, mom wasn't feeling so good. She had nearly lost her voice and was all stuffed up. Her boys are taking good care of her on Sunday though!

Boring Weekend

We were supposed to go to Solon this weekend but Caleb had a bad cold and we decided to keep him home and nurse him back to health. Plus, we didn't want to infect all the pregnant ladies back in Solon with his crud. So we just laid around all weekend here in Boone. We rented a couple movies Friday night, had Trish's Aunt Susan stop by on Saturday, went to church Sunday morning, and Andy finally took down the Christmas lights Sunday too. Caleb pretty much felt like poop all weekend. Running nose, cough, and sneezing. But by Sunday night, he was much improved. We didn't get any good pictures this weekend, except for one of Caleb sleeping in his swing. It was good to rest up for Spring Break this week. Grandma Mary is coming up to watch Caleb Tuesday and Wednesday and Trish has Thursday off! It's going to be crazy!

Laundry

Look what we found in the laundry! He must have been hiding in one of Andy's coat pockets!



Doug, Stacey, and Peyton came over Saturday night to visit too. Here's Peyton and Caleb watching us cook dinner.

Standing

Guess who's 5 months old and standing on his own against the couch? That's right, it's Caleb! This kid is growing like crazy!
