New Rain Boots

Nana Gail bought Caleb these "new" rain boots from Goodwill Tuesday on senior day. He loves them. He wore them all day yesterday even though there was no rain. He can't wait for the rain so that he can jump in puddles and his feet stay dry.

Easter in North Carolina

For Easter we traveled to Mt. Airy, North Carolina to Nannie Lou. For those of you who don't know. Mt. Airy is the home town of Andy Griffith and is similar to Mayberry. We all had a lot of fun. We decorated eggs, swam at the hotel pool, had pork chop sandwiches, the boys went geocaching and the girls and kids went downtown (Caleb got a hair cut at Floyd's.).

Easter Egg Hunt #3

So Sunday March 16th Caleb had his 3rd Easter Egg Hunt. This was with the neighborhood kids.

Easter Egg Hunt #2

Thanks Papa Tom for inviting us to your Tucker Business Annual Easter Egg Hunt Saturday March 15! Even though Caleb was not to sure about the Easter Bunny.

Caleb loved the Dekalb County Police Car. He was able to work the lights, talk and sing over the intercom, and got to "drive" the car. Oh yeah and then there was the Easter Egg Hunt. He loved his candy. So much so he was willing to go into time out in order to get 5 or so eggs out opened and in his mouth while I was in the bathroom.

I do, I help Mom

These past couple of weeks. Caleb has been really adamant about doing things for himself. He has been very good about putting on his shoes by himself. It sometimes means shoes on the wrong foot. But today it meant two different shoes all together. At first I thought it was because he couldn't find the matching pair. So I brought out the other shoes that paired with the shoes he had on. Well he refused. He said proudly," No mom, black shoe and tenny." He has been my little helper. Today he helped me put his shirts on hangers. "Clean" the kitchen counter. "Help" mom sweep. I broke down and bought him a small broom with dust pan that is all his. He also helped get the mail. He is getting so tall!

Easter Egg Hunt

This morning we went to the Mt. Bethal Senior Center and got to brighten up their days. And get chocolate. If you don't know already this Christmas Caleb pronounced his faith in chocolate. By saying "I believe in chocolate" and later stating that "I love chocolate". It was hard to keep him focused on getting the eggs. He wanted to dive right in and open the eggs as he picked them up. Finally realizing that others were picking up eggs as well he decided that he should pick up more eggs. Here in the picture he is so proud of his eggs. After the hunt was all done he want to "dig in" right there. I told him when we went inside. Well he straight away went inside and sat down at a table and started breaking open the eggs. Soon the seniors came inside. All the kids were showing their eggs and some were giving eggs to them. Well Caleb.... he decided that they also needed to eat their chocolate and started opening their eggs and unwrapping their chocolate and handing it to them. Luckily they loved it.

Missing Daddy

Dad (Patrick) has been in North Carolina since Friday and won't be back until Tuesday. Mornings and Evenings have been really hard for Caleb. Here we are taking pictures to text to Daddy. Caleb really wanted to take the pictures and put on the "drama".

Snow and a Pitcher?

Well if you can't tell in this picture it is snowing.
Snowing? March? Georgia?
Yes, Yes and Yes.
Saturday morning we woke up to big fluffy flakes of snow coming down.
Wow Caleb sure can throw. Here we are trying to get ready to leave to go to Cumberland 101 class. We have been involved with Cumberland Community Church in Smyrna Georgia since November 2007. It is a great church come take a look. http://www.cumberlandchurch.org/

Boys and Trains

Friday we had a playdate with the our MOPS Mt Bethal Buddies. We went to The Southern Musuem. They loved the trains. But I think they enjoyed planning.... something.... more. And
Caleb didn't want to leave.

O'pa and O'ma visited

O'pa and O'ma visited this Wednesday the 5th. O'pa and O'ma is dutch for grandpa and grandma. Since my dad's side is dutch ... my maiden name is De Jong. Yeah that is a fun name for the south. But I digress. Caleb had a blast playing tee ball with O'ma Sylvia. He only hit the ball at her a couple of times. And then he whacked one hard and she was close ouch, sorry O'ma. So she started "playing catcher". Mom (Me) started to play "pitcher" after that. O'pa tried to get as much of it on film as he could but the light wasn't that great. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures either. Patrick has been helping Sylvia with a website Dejongministries.com.

Caleb Singing

I have a couple of days to catch up on my blogging. I forgot my password and it took me a while to get it back on. This is a video clip of Caleb preforming Old Suzanna. Unfortunately I some how deleted the longer version which is much cuter. Here he has a bubble blower wand that is in the shape of a microphone.

Swinging at Gamma and Pappie's

This weekend we went to Gamma and Pappie (My Parents) with virtually no Internet connection. They have slow dial up. We went to my childhood home because of Birthdays. My dad's and Patrick's are both in February. (Patrick's bother and sister's birthday are also in February.)
Caleb spent a lot of time with his Pappie. He followed him every where. Pappie got Caleb to swing, by himself. A feat that I have not been able to do.
