Braids!

Our neighbor braided Caleb's hair for the first time today and she said that he did so good! He looks a little glum in that picture because his scalp was still sore and he wanted me to "make it like before"...

We convinced him that he looks so handsome that way and that his preschool teacher wanted to see his hair too so he reluctantly let Jay put on a skull cap on him so that he can sleep and the braids won't come undone.

After we were home for awhile, he made it upstairs and started checking his braids in the mirror. He was so pleased with himself and now he's agreed that he likes them too. (We'll see :))

It's a welcome change from the 'crazy' hair that he had been sporting :)

Zoo Visit!

A group of us went to the NC Zoo today and had a very exhausting but very fun day. It was our first time there and we were surprised at the variety of animals that they had there. The group consisted of the Styon, Wallace and Sherron family. We also brought along our new neighbor, Jacob who played wonderfully with all the kids.

An outing like this reminds us of what's important in life is to be able to do and enjoy the company of all our friends and family. We've grown close to this particular group this past year and I look forward to many more outings!

Weekends

One of our favorite things to do on the weekend is breakfast. Caleb loves pancakes, waffles and eggs and it gives us time to eat together as a family. Weekdays are so rushed that we hardly ever do dinner at the table anymore

And this is Caleb being a goof. :)
