Calvin updates

-
Calvin had his baby blessing on August 1st. We had a bunch of friends and family come to church with us to share the moment. He has the cutest little outfit that his Auntie Michelle bought for him.

Calvin also had his 2 month check up. He has almost doubled his weight (so much for being a small kid). He started out 6 lbs 15 oz and he now weighs 13 lbs 8 oz.  He grew another 4.5" in height. And his head takes after his sisters. It's just like hers now, off the charts for size. It's not quite as big as Shelby's was at his age, but he's catching her pretty quick.


We have been enjoying the summer together as a family. The blessing with Caleb not passing his boards is that we have a lot of time together. Caleb has been busy riding mountain bikes, fishing, working on his motorcycle, projects around our house, and remodeling his parents house.



I have been taking the kids to the park, hanging out with friends and family, and trying to get used to having two kids. I still feel like I'm not ready to take both kids out in public for very long. I don't have a double stroller, so that means I carry Calvin and push Shelby. Simple things like running into the store to buy milk feels much harder. I usually go to the expensive stores that have the cute car in front of the grocery cart so that Shelby is more entertained.


Shelby's hair and personality are getting crazier by the day....


More to come soon. Hope everyone is having a fun summer like we are!

Christmas 2012

The best things about our Christmas this year: 1. Lights- Caleb put up lights outside our house this year, but he forgot one critical step in the process. He didn't check the lights before he put them up. Our brand new LED lights we put up last year already stopped working. He took down one set of lights, leaving the other set up on half the house. He also left the hangers for the lights on our gutters. The second set he left up did work, but he didn't have an extension cord long enough to reach. So we left it like this all December: 2. Gifts- We wrapped all our gifts early so we could see the beautiful wrapping paper and ribbon for many weeks. I do this so that I can take my time, and also to do a check on the amount of gifts and make sure I didn't forget anybody. I also hate going to the stores at the last minute. But every year I still go to the stores because my dad didn't get my mom a present, my sister needs a few more things for her kids, and Caleb usuall...

Caleb Escapes Death

I was working from home on Friday when I received a phone call from Caleb. "Renae, apparently I wrecked my motorcycle." I asked him where he was and what I needed to do, and his reply was, "Renae, apparently I wrecked my motorcycle." Then I asked him where he was and he had no idea. I heard someone talking in the background and I asked if I could speak to who he was with, and his reply was "Renae, apparently I wrecked my motorcycle." After about 20 of those responses I could hear the lady with Caleb saying she was taking him to St Vincent ER. That's all I needed to hear, I jumped in my car, just in time to sit in traffic. I wanted to get to the ER as fast as I could but Memorial weekend vacationers felt otherwise. By the time I got to the hospital Caleb was all checked in and had his room. His memory was about 10 seconds for the first hour and I proceeded to answer the same questions over, and over. "Renae, how long have you been here? Where am I?...

It all works out in the end

I've been stressing about Mr. Caleb working in Eugene. It's 59 miles from our house, which makes for a long drive back and forth every day. A ton of miles on the car, gas, time away from home, blaaaa! I've been commuting too long and I didn't want Caleb to get home so late. Well..... now he doesn't have to. He just got offered to work for the same company in Albany. Which, is only 19 miles away from our new house. He just carved 80 miles round trip off his daily commute. Yeah for Caleb!! He won't start working until October so right now he is a stay-at-home-dad. I went back to work on the 1st of September and he has been home with the kids every day. I love to get messages from him about how he is barely surviving, the kids are going crazy, and he's super tired. I get home and on most days they are all in their pj's. However, last night I came home and everyone was dressed and he cleaned the house! If I could just get him to have dinner on table....h...
