Caleb Helping with the Laundry

Here is how "helpful" Caleb can be around the house:

A New Addition to our Family

We have a new member of our family! Meet Blackjack. He's a 4-year-old Miniature Pinscher/Beagle mix that we adopted from a local animal shelter. Caleb loves him! And so do we!

Today's Dose of Entertainment

First, a funny story. We were webcamming with Jonathan's parents the other evening, and Caleb was eating strawberries. Esther made a funny noise, and Jonathan's mom said "Did you just raspberry?" And Caleb responded very emphatically, "No, STRAWBERRIES!"

Now here are some cute and funny pictures and videos.

Caleb loves playing with his shotgun, and he pulled his orange hat out the other day to play with. Well, Daddy and Caleb were hanging out with Esther and when I came around the corner, I saw this:

Here are some more cute pictures of Esther:

Her first time enjoying the "jumper-saucer"

Aww

This is my new favorite picture of her

Here are some of Caleb and Esther together:

Bathtime!

Sibling love

I don't really have an explanation for the following video. I can only say I'm pretty sure we would never have done this to Caleb:

A few nights ago, Esther rolled over! Jonathan saw it first, and then she did it again for me, and then she did it again for the camera!




Yesterday was the first warm day we've had in a long time, so while Esther was napping, Caleb and I played outside for about 2 hours. We blew bubbles, played with sidewalk chalk, read books, and just had fun. I "taught" Caleb to play hopscotch. Here is his version:

Snow!!

I just sat down to post this, and I'm looking out the window to see our neighbor kids (high schoolers) having their dog pull them on a sled down the street. It was quite funny. But anyway, I came to post some pictures of Caleb playing in the snow just a little while ago. We didn't stay out very long because it was really cold out there...25 degrees, but windy and feels like 12. Brrr!

Not quite sure he wants to venture out...

Really not liking this...

Finally enjoying himself

We made a snowman!

Caleb insisted that the snowman needed hands and a hat.
