Daddy Dressed Me

And honestly thought this outfit matched.

First Hike

Caleb experienced his first 'official' hike in our hiking backpack. We went to the Pinnacles on Saturday and he did so great. He was such a ham charming all the hikers. He was coo-ing and babbling with everyone he met. He was smiling and squealing away until all that motion lulled him to sleep. Caleb managed to sleep through the caves and up the mountain. He finally awoke at the top of mountain just in time for lunch! By the end of the hike he was all spent out and a wee bit fussy so him and mom fell fast asleep on the ride home. What can we say, he's our little outdoor explorer!
Don't worry we loaded on the sunblock!

Happy Mothers Day!

A Newborn's Conversation with God


A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow,
but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"

God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have
to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."

God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you.
And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."

Again the small child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand
when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"

God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words
you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will
teach you how to speak."

"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach
you how to pray."

"Who will protect me?"

God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."

"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."

God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach
you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth
could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave
now, please tell me my angel's name."

God said, You will simply call her, "Mom."

Splish Splash

Nani's doing. She thought it was time for a bath upgrade since Caleb no longer fits inside his infant tub. She spotted this ridiculous looking duck ( You may remember a previous picture of Caleb in a duck hat. That was Nani's doing as well. I'm beginning to think she has a thing for ducks) Little did we know that the duck happens to quack. She blew the tub up and out of nowhere we heard a loud 'quack quack'

As if bathtime wasn't wild enough.

Special Visits

Dave is going to Reno tonight for work. He'll only be there for one night-but I didn't want to be all by myself, even though Caleb has the best cuddles around. So my mom is coming up to save the day! Can't wait for some mother-daughter time. In perfect time for Mother's Day.

In a couple weekends we get to go down and see Dave's parents while they are in Palm Springs. Caleb will get to visit with Uncle Andrew in San Diego and Grandma and Grandpa too.

And all the Aunties will be coming up for a visit because they are done with school next week!

What does Caleb think about being able to see all these wonderful people very soon? Well he is pretty excited about it. Almost as much as I am!
