Brush Away Tooth Decay...

Now that we have two teeth, we have started trying to keep them clean. Caleb was a little confused here for the first attempt, but now he's got the hang of it. He even takes some water from a regular cup when he's finished!

We Are Blessed

We were elated to have so many members of our family here to celebrate Caleb's Baptism with us. Darrin's family travelled all the way from Northwestern Kansas and Iowa to be here and my Aunt from Kansas City flew in as well.

Happy Baptism Day!

What a wonderful, wonderful day!!! We feel so blessed to celebrate Caleb's Bapism with our friends and family. He did so well. Pastor Gale and everyone in the church commented about how happy he was and how he smiled at everyone when Pastor Gale carried him through the congregation. It was a very special occasion and we are so grateful to God to have allowed us this experience.


Family Fun

Darrin's family was able to come into town for Caleb's Baptism, and we got to have lots of fun with them. We went swimming, went to the zoo, went out to eat, had movie nights, and enjoyed being together. Caleb enjoyed the zoo. His favorite part was the dolphin dome where you could watch the motion of the water all around you and watch the dolphins swim by. He also really enjoyed lots of attention from everyone, especially his cousins Beau and Mackenzie who always made him smile!

Say Cheese!

Before his Baptism, we took Caleb to have some pictures taken. These were a couple of our favorites. I can't get over how grown up he looks!
