This past weekend we took a trip to your Great-Grammy’s house in North Bend. You were so good the whole weekend and you didn’t break anything. You loved her “puppy”, Lucky even though he wasn’t too sure about you.
Grammy got special cookies just to share with you. You are so spoiled!
You loved going for a walk out in the sunshine on Sunday. It was a good way to run off all the pancakes you ate at breakfast, and Grammy insisted you have a little fruit syrup on top, so a walk was a great plan.
Right now, whenever you see an airplane you point and say, “A B”. It is pretty close. You are such a good little talker for only 14 months.
You found a flower on the ground and were sweet enough to share it with your mommy. What a good little boy!
Grammy lives on a big block when your legs are so small, and after running the first half you needed a break…
You are so lucky to have Grandparents and Great-Grandparents in your life and the memories we capture for you will be priceless someday. It is so special watching you interact with your world and all of the people and creatures in it. A big thanks to Grammy for letting us come for a visit on such short notice and for embracing Caleb in such a special way We love you!






































Here are a couple pictures from last year’s trip to the pumpkin patch. It is so amazing to think that this time last year, you weren’t even in the world yet and Neli was just a little baby. Now, one year later, you are both walking and came out covered in mud. What an amazing journey!
which you loved because you were free from the car seat and you got to watch where you were going, you went on your first carousel ride,
we drove the antique John Deere tractor that I learned to drive on,
and we went for a little hike at Hartwick Pines.
We also got to visit with your Great-Great Grandma, Betty.
You got to rock in your Grandma’s rocker that she had when she was a kid
and you got to eat in the highchair that was originally your Uncle Rob’s. You loved Great-Grandpa’s sweet corn;
you ate three ears in one sitting and one raw right out in the garden. We even got to have a little Birthday celebration a couple months early.
Among other things, you got your first laptop from Grandma, you played with Bucky, you played Great-Grandma’s keyboard,
you ate amazing amounts of really yummy food, went on nature walks,
and you stole the hearts of everyone we spent time with. It was a short trip including six airplane rides in 7 days, but it was well worth it.
