Daddy's Girl

No one can make this baby smile, laugh, squeal, and babble like her daddy can! Her face lights up when daddy comes home!

Playing on the Floor

Caleb tells us all the time that he is so glad Cate is here and that he loves his sister very much! I think he was getting lonely and needed a real live playmate!

Who do I look like?

Catelynn looks just like her big brother who sometimes looks just like his daddy who and sometimes looks just like his mommy.

Army Guy and Team Mascot

Thanks to Uncle Chris for the authentic Army outfit. Caleb loves it and hopefully will make the whole Halloween situation a cinch. Caleb also loves soccer...he followed Coach Pop Pop and Aunt Lauren around the field during warm-ups and halftimes.

Hey Baby, Wanna Ride?

This is Caleb's pride and joy...got to love free kid stuff!

Beach Bum Catelynn

Cate's first trip to the beach...Hunting Island in Beaufort, SC. Don't worry she was coated in 85 SPF and was underneath an umbrella which contained 100 SPF. She mostly just slept on the beach.

Cute Caleb...most of the time...

This is one of the happiest little people you could ever meet especially when he is outside and able to run all over the place doing what he loves to do best...play! He of course like every person has his moments.

Sleepy Baby and Pink Toes

I thought she was fussing because she was hungry...I fed her cereal and turned to wash out the bowl and there she was in this knock-out position. Sorry Catelynn!
Okay so why the pink toes? Because I can. She is a girl and it is sandal weather afterall. I thought it would be fun to see what they looked like and she actually sat pretty still in her Bumbo seat while her toes were being painted.

Family Camping

We went camping as a family for Casey's 29th birthday. This picture is traditional day attire for Caleb, who is turning out to be more of a southern boy than expected. Notice the T Shirt "I'm with Handsome". Yeah to bad they do not make one of those in my brother John's size who often signs his name as "Handsome John". I love it...rubber boots, mud, and his favorite Lightning McQueen chair.

Messy Faces!

Look at these funny kids and their messy faces! Cate has started to enjoy cereal and well Caleb just enjoys food especially the chocolate food group. He got his eating habits from his parents unfortunately. Cate is doing well and sleeping through the night a habit her older brother hasn't really yet mastered. Sometimes we find him on the couch or on our floor...maybe he sleep walks like Casey.

Lauren's graduation

Casey and I are getting old...he has already had his 10 year class reunion and I am almost there. YIKES!

Isn't She Lovely?

Here is cute and sweet baby Cate! We attended Lauren's high school graduation and Cate was adored by all the friends and families of the graduates. She is very beautiful and can turn some heads with her baby doll face.

Two Little Monkeys

Okay, so this is the first attempt at the whole blogging thing. I sure hope I get things under control soon so family across the world can enjoy our two little monkeys as much as possible from a distance. These two really do love each other and seem to have a very unique bond. When I peak back at them in the van...yes minivan...Caleb is almost always holding his little sisters hand. He loves her and she thinks he is the funniest creature she has ever laid eyes on. He is pretty funny! Cate is now 4 1/2 months old while big bad brother is 3 years and still refusing to potty train...HELP! Casey offered him $100 and Caleb responded with, "no, I like my diapers and wet wipes..."
