HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY CALEB!!!!

Thursday was Caleb's 2nd Birthday. Can you believe it? I know I am the worst Blogger in the world to wait this long till I posted, but right now I have no time. At the end of the day I go to bed when Caleb does. Who would have thought I would be going to bed at 8 O' Clock. Not me that's for old people. He had a wonderful Birthday. We had his party at the park in Glencoe. He loved playing with all of the kids. In fact he really didn't even care about opening presents. He wanted to run and play. We all had a wonderful time.

I have said it before and I'll say it again. Caleb is truly a BLESSING for Blake and I. I don't know what we would do without him. He is SO funny and amazing to watch grow. I hope for many more Birthdays to be able to spend with him.

Caleb's New Hat

Caleb has just got to where he will wear a hat. So of course we stick one on him every time we get a chance. I just love this little hat. He looks like he needs to go on a Safari!!

Blake's Birthday

This is Blake and Caleb blowing out the candles on his cake. Blake was 41 on
April 1st. I think Caleb will enjoy his Birthday a little more this year. Time is going by so fast now. I only hope it does in China too!!

Caleb & Dylan

This is Caleb and his Half Brother Dylan. I have no idea where he got it, but the whole time I was taking pictures this day Caleb kept saying Cheese! Kids are soooo funny.

Ready For Summer

These are a few pictures outside. Caleb LOVES to stay outside and would probably sleep there if we let him. He is into everything all the time. Balls, Trucks, you name it. He is all boy!!!

More Easter

These are some more pictures of Easter with Kennedy and Darby. The kid hanging upside down is my nephew Jesse. Tim loves to make him mad.

Valentine's Day

These are couple of pictures from Valentine's Day. Another holiday he LOVES because of the CANDY!!! He doesn't eat a whole lot but he does have a sweet tooth!

Happy Easter

It has been soo long since I have posted. I'm going to try to add some more pictures later tonight or tomorrow I am so far behind. I still have Valentines Pictures to add.

Easter is such a busy fun day. Caleb had to have a little help with the egg hunt, but he was pretty good at it. We got way to much candy and will be on a sugar high for a while.

We had a Court Hearing last Wednesday with Caleb. The Appeal came back and it had been particaly reversed on the visitation part. The Hearing was to set regular visitations. The Dad did not show up, so that is Wonderful News. Just a few steps more and we can give Caleb a new name. So still keep us in your Prayers.

Happy Chinese New Year!!

We had a great New Year today. I carried some coloring pages for Caleb's class to color. Then I tried to take a picture of him with one I colored, he crumbled it up into a ball. When we got home we whatched "Ni Hao, Kai-Lan", we Loved it. I have the season to tape on DVR. Maybe we will have more of a Chinese vocabulary by the time we get to travel. I also want to Thank Miss Mary Jane for monograming Caleb a Rat on his T-Shirt. He was looking down at it in the third picture. I can't wait to see everyone at our Chinese New Year Party Saturday Night. Hope everyone had a great day!!!

Look What I Can Do!

Caleb was playing in his room today and was having the best time with his blocks. He thinks he is such a big boy. He is so much fun!!!!

Gan Gan's Request

This picture is at Gan Gan's request. Our e-mail doesn't work good and I couldn't e-mail it to her so I told her I would put it on the website.

We've been inside all weekend because of the cold weather. I am a little disapointed because of the lack of Snow we were supposed to have. We had more fun last Wednesday than we did yesterday. Caleb did get to wear a cute sweater to Church today since it was so cold outside. I just wanted to post a few pictures from a few weeks ago. There are some from him raking the leaves, at one of Darby's ballgames, and playing in the snow.

First Haircut

Caleb had his first haircut today. We carried him to Blake's Barber John. Both of our Mother's cut hair so not to hurt any feelings we carried him to him. He cried the whole time and they where real tears. He looks like a little man now. Too Cute For Words!!!

Merry Christmas 2

The first pictures are of Christmas Morning before Caleb woke up. He felt so bad he didn't even open all of his presents until the day after Christmas. Next were at Blake's Grandmother's house with her and Blake's Mother and her Husband Bobby. And the last ones are of Christmas with my family and Kennedy and Darby. You can tell in the pictures of Caleb how bad he felt. Two major Holidays this year resulted in fevers. First Easter and then Christmas!! Maybe next year will be a better season for him.

Merry Christimas!!

Christmas was very BLESSED this year with Caleb still with us. Hopefully at the first of the year we can start the adoption process with him. Although Caleb started running a fever between 101 and 103 on Christmas Eve and ended with a doctors appt. the day after Christmas. He is back to his normal WILD self now except he still doesn't have his appetite back. And he didn't have a good one to start with. Unless it's junk food. I try so hard to get him to eat good for you food. But Max ends up with it all compliments of Caleb. I hope everyone had a great Holiday and I really miss all of our China Buddies. Maybe the New Year will bring us all closer to our little ones!!
