Visit with Grandma & Grandpa

On Labor Day (yes peeps, I'm that far behind) Joe took Kaleb to Ashland to surprise Grandma Ann for a early birthday celebration. They had breakfast and played and played and played.

Enjoy a few photos :)

 Kaleb & Grandma Ann

Serious conversation.....

 

Ahhhhh....too cute! Love this one :)

Little Boys

Short & sweet....just a little glimpse into the fun Kaleb & his adorable cousin Dayton are going to have as they grow up together!

Health update: Kaleb has an ear infection. He's been a trooper, but the poor kid is having a tough time sleeping. Fingers crossed he makes it longer than 1-1.5 hours tonight before waking up in pain :(.

REALLY?!?!

I find myself with a bit of time to blog today because I'm home from work with a sick child :(

While I feel absolutely awful that my little man is suffering, I must ask him why couldn't he catch this little bug in any of the 12 previous weeks I was home? Or perhaps next week, when his grandparents will be taking turns watching him because our daycare provider will be gone? Nope-- he got sick on the SECOND DAY OF SCHOOL!! Not the most convenient for his Mommy or Daddy :(

A Day in the Park...

There is nothing my little man loves more than being in motion- whether it's in the car, the stroller, his bike or on a swing....he's a happy boy. Last night we strolled over to our little park and got some shots of Kaleb enjoying life!

rollin' to the park

he had some HILARIOUS facial expressions & a great hair do!

And lastly, he was lovin' life on the lady bug :)

We hope that everyone has a wonderful Labor Day Weekend...we're soaking up the sun & relaxation, come Tuesday we're back to being teachers!

PS- which also means my posts may be few & far between! How does one work, take care of a child & a husband AND find time for a blog?!?!?!

Adults Only!

Joe has been a busy, busy boy lately....

Joe's Grandpa Leo has the BEST PICKLE RECIPE known to man-kind, and this summer Joe made our first batch of pickles. To make it even more special, we had Grandpa Leo's big kettle to boil the brine in :) We have to wait until Thanksgiving time to try them out....it's killing me!! I'll keep you posted on their delicious-ness!!

While I suppose the pickles COULD be given to children, Joe's other project is strictly for ADULTS ONLY! He's been talking about trying to brew his own beer for over a year now, and this summer he finally found the time to make it happen. He began the process almost a month ago and was just able to bottle it this morning. 

54 bottles of goodness

Unfortunately I'm not a beer lover (which I secretly think Joe likes so he doesn't have to share with me)....so after the first sips are taken, I'll let you know how the brew master did :)

Date Nite!

Daddy & Mommy's nite "out"

Check Out Those Chompers!

Kaleb was smiling like crazy yesterday & I got a great shot of his teeth :) We are at a total of 6 right now, but we've got two more coming in on top!!
