When 3 yr olds help....

Last night Caleb wanted to "be the charge", after further discussion he meant that he wanted to be in charge of taking care of Weston.  First he wanted to carry Weston around because he said he was stronger now.   So I let him hold Weston for about 2 seconds and Caleb realized that he could not carry him around.  I then got the idea that maybe he could try feeding Weston.  And this is what you get...but it was worth it because Caleb felt proud of himself and felt in charge of something even if Weston did have sweet potatoes up his nose.

tangled up in blue

I love getting Weston up from a nap. He's so warm and wants to cuddle.  He likes to rub his face on his blanket when he's falling asleep so he's always tangled up in his covers when he wakes up. Weston will be 6 mths old this Saturday.   He loves doing the 'raspberries', it seems he's always drenched with drool.  He's learned how to scream too when you don't get him what he wants fast enough.  

Finally...

Heres a few pictures of our new place.  Sorry its taken so long.  Seems like we are just about done unpacking. Now for the fun part - the organizing!

fast forward

Fast forward through more packing, moving furniture and unpacking and you will find us here, somewhat tired but mostly happy and enjoying the new place.  The boys love their new yard.  Our neighbors have a lovely apricot tree and a plum tree that drops its fruit into our yard.  I spoke with the neighbor and she said it should be safe to eat and we should feel free to eat whatever hangs over the fence.  I was glad to hear that considering Caleb has probably already eaten his weight in plums.  I'll add some pictures soon!

baby break

ah an excuse to stop packing...

4 days left!

I'm in the midst of packing and cleaning.  After 6 years in this apartment we are renting a little house with a yard! We are all very excited.  Its kind of sad too to be leaving here, we brought Caleb and West home to this place.  It sounds sappy I know.  But these are the times in life when we should be sappy I think and reflective of all the things that God has done in our lives.  We move this weekend and I will be up to my eyeballs in boxes and cleaning products till then (and all the while sappily reminiscing).  

4th of July

Caleb and his very good friend Calum are in the front seat and Debbie and 

Elliot are riding in the back.
Here's Jack and Caleb enjoying their sparklers.  Caleb decided that they were called 

"fire sticks".

We went over to our pastors house yesterday for the annual 4th of July festivities with our church family.    Caleb laughed himself silly driving the little cart around until he ran over a tomato plant then it was put away.  We had a delicious dinner then set off fireworks.  Caleb looked scared when the fireworks would go off then after he would say that it was awesome. Weston didnt seem to mind the fireworks either, every once in awhile he would get startled by the noise but he didn't cry.
