  • My Son

    Why is raising a son so different from raising a daughter?  I don’t mean to do it but I think my parenting style is very different with both child.  Maybe because Caleb is so more easy going than his sister.  Who knows?  I just know that this little guy found a nice spot in my heart and I am hooked for life!!  He is the most amazing sweet little angel.  I love that he is so sweet and smiles everytime he locks eyes with me. 

    Here we are last week at the grandparents house.  They got the tree all set up beautifully!

    Last night big sister was helping me bathe Caleb.  You will not believe what she said!  She noticed Caleb’s “parts” and said, “Brother has a tail!”  Hahaa.  That was real cute.

  • Pumpkin Patch, Thanksgiving, Misc…

    It’s been a while hasn’t it?  I have tons of pictures from the last couple of months and need to update badly. 

    ::Pumpkin Patch::

    Some pictures from our trip to the Yucaipa Pumpkin Patch last October.  G is older now and can appreciate it more now. 

    When G climbed up the stack of hay, she said, “Just like Baby Jesus.”  She made a connection from the books she had read about Baby Jesus born in the manager and the hay she felt.

    ::Thanksgiving with the In-Laws::

    Thanksgiving this year was filled with lots of blessings, lots of food, and lots of love.  We had so much to be thankful for this year.  First of course is the blessing of our precious son Caleb.  Caleb’s personality is showing itself alot more these days.  He seems so laid back compared to his older sister!  He’s been sleeping through the night since he was 3 months old.  Of course he’ll have a couple nights where he’s up, but for the most part he is sleeping through 8-10 hours now.  Wow! 

    Another thing we are thankful for….a new job opportunity for hubby!  Yes, literally the day before Thanksgiving, hubby signed the contract.  We will be moving in February to a new city!   Very exciting and scary at the same time.  LA county here we come! So thankful for another adventure!

    Favorite things to do these days:  paint, color, cut up construction paper and glue pieces on paper, have tummy time with brother, play with her flute, use chopsticks to drum around the house and listen to Christmas music on the music box.
