Caellum Pics and Update on Us!

Ok, so Caellum turned one on January 15th, and here is a pic of his actual birthday:


We met family at Chick-fil-a to have cake and let the kids play! This is a pic of Caellum after we sang to him. He LOVED eating his cake...he's definitely gonna have a sweet tooth like his mommy and daddy!


This is one of his professional pics that we had taken. The poor little guy had an ear infection (which I found out the day after this photo was taken)!

While we were in Cincinnati, Caellum started walking...about a week before his first birthday. He's getting good now, and mommy is in trouble!!! Pretty soon, he's gonna be running one way, and Ty will be running the other...yikes!!! Here are some pics of our trip back to Cincy:

Brotherly Love

So we have been back home for a couple weeks now, and are having lovely weather here! Snow, snow, snow! I bundled the boys up and took them outside for a short while to play. It was Caellum's first time in the snow, and he LOVED it! I have never seen a baby love the snow so much! He couldn't walk very well because he was so bundled up (like the kid in the Christmas Story movie, lol) so he would just crawl through the snow smiling and giggling...it was too cute!


The boys playing in the snow!

This week has been a bit rough. Both boys are sick, poor Caellum has an ear infection, and Ty has been randomly "puking"...sorry to be so graphic, but that's what he calls it, lol! Hopefully they'll start feeling better soon, and we can get "back to normal." Other than that, we are doing great! We have been able to talk to Josh pretty frequently, and I praise God for that! Josh's Aunt Kathy bought me an amazing book, called Faith Deployed, and it has been a tremendous comfort, and source of strength to me. Thank you, Kathy, for thinking of us, and being so supportive. And thank you for sending me such an awesome book...it will definitely help me get through this year! We love you! I am truly thankful to everyone for their love, support, well wishes, and prayers that have been sent our way. When Josh and I do get to talk, we talk about how blessed we are to have all this support when we need it the most. Thank you all, for everything, from the bottom of our hearts!
