Merry Christmas

Santa was good to Caswell

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas and you got to spend it with the ones you love.

Oh no this again!

Really Mom, I am done with all of this picture taking.

Well maybe it is not so bad...I will give you at least one smile.

This is what I really like doing though...watch Bubble Guppies.

Santa Caswell...

cruising up the stairs.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Even Razel (as you can see him above) likes the tree.

This little guy is pretty excited for Christmas.

It has been years since I have put up a bigger tree in our homes. My mom took Caswell for the day the Saturday after Thanksgiving and so I got to set up the tree and decorate for Christmas. Caswell was pretty excited when he saw our Christmas tree. He loved all the lights on the tree. We also have our fireplace mantle full of Snowman (of course). Caswell learned really quick which ones turn on and which ones makes noise. It has already been a great Christmas season. Merry Christmas to all and to all a Goodnight!

Happy Late Halloween

from our little Monkey!

Caswell and his Nana - having fun together

Thankful for...

this little guy!

I can't say much more than "life is good".

I have so many things to be thankful for. Most of all, I am thankful for my family (all of you - immediate & extended) and my friends (although I consider you family). I am thankful that we are all healthy. I am thankful to be loved by many and surrounded by good people (life's too short not to be). I love all of you!!

Free Card

So I am a sucker for coupons and free stuff that I can use. Since I use Shutterfly to print my pictures and make books I thought why not set up a link from my blog to share my project so I can get a nice credit from them (of course for my pictures). Funny thing is, is that I used a coupon code to get this card I designed for free. And now when I share it with you I get a bonus. Score! I must say (and no I am not getting paid anymore to say this) but Shutterfly has great products, good deals and friendly fast customer service.

I made this card to give to my mom some day - so Mom if you are seeing this - surprise!! Look for it coming your way soon.

Where has time gone??? Caswell you have literally grown up this past year in the blink of my eye. So many people kept telling me how fast you would grow up. I did not want to believe them but they were right. You are such a joy to be around. It is amazing how smart you are. No one makes me smile bigger than you do. I am so proud of who you are. I love how you get so excited and shake both of your hands really fast. You are still crawling but get to where you want to be. You pull yourself up and can even swing your leg on over your "riding" toys. You love to read books (especially ones with little flaps to flip over), zoom all over the place with all of your cars (the ones you really like now are the little Hot Wheels Rev Ups that are magnetized and go on our fridge and tub) and playing with your cousin Brandon (you two get so excited to see each other on Monday mornings and hardly ever nap those days because you are so busy playing together). You have been a pretty good eater. You love mac n cheese, french fries, goldfish & mum mum crackers and still your baby green beans. It's cute how you love to point at everything and everyone. You do love to cuddle and I hope you never out grown that. You wave bye bye and give really big kisses. To my wise little guy, you are the love of my life!














Caswell finally had enough and wanted that sticker off. I bought another set to do 13-24 months. I am not so sure how that is going to go. Check in next month to see if Caswell will let me continue.

I will post his 1st birthday party pictures soon :)

We managed not to get lost...

in the corn maze.






Caswell had a great time seeing all of the exotic animals and even came up close and personal with a few of them.







He even bounced along with the kangaroo.



Caswell had fun riding the tractors.







We saw LOTS of pumpkins that day.






I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful Fall weather we have been having!!
