Hi! We are Joe, Sally, Caleb, and Ella--and hoping and praying to add another little one to our family through the miracle of adoption. Thanks for visiting!

Caleb's Surprises

It's amazing, you never really know what you're going to get with a three-year-old. He is amazing at keeping himself awake usually. Sally said the other day she was sitting in the kids' room holding Ella (who was falling asleep), and she watched Caleb rocking his head back and forth while lying on his back and then start bouncing his bum up and down in bed as he's half asleep just fighting with all he had to keep from falling asleep. It's so funny. When does the love of sleep develop in people? It's definitely not there yet for these two. :)

Having said that, Caleb just barely got over being sick. The pic below was taken 2 Sundays ago when we had some friends over for dinner. We were all sitting and talking at the table, Ella was just running around playing, and I looked over to see Caleb laying across two chairs, out like a light. The sweet boy woke up soon after when Sally tried to sneak him into bed. I have to say, it's pretty much the cutest thing in the world to see the crazy places an overly tired kiddo can get some shut eye. :)


While we're on the subject of Caleb...this is the result of going to dinner at some friends' house this last Sunday who have twin 8 year old girls and a 3 year old girl. Their dress up box was irresistible, and he came downstairs while the adults talked to show us some of their awesome outfits. He loved this one! :D We called him Joseph with the coat of many colors. It was probably a dress, but you can't just tell the kid to take it off when he's so proud of himself, right? He ended up in a very cool pirate outfit for most of the visit, though. That is pretty typical of my boy! :)
