Memorial Day Weekend

Since we had an action packed Memorial Day Weekend, I decided to dedicate a whole post to it!

Friday evening we had dinner with some friends. Saturday morning we planted our veggie garden (hopefully it survives!) Later in the day Caleb's cousin Charlie came for a visit!

Here are the two boys hanging out in the swing together... ...and just playing


Then on Sunday we had a Partridge Drive softball game and cookout! Caleb got to swing again this time with his buddy Garrett...

...and share a wagon ride!

I have no picture evidence of Mondays festivites, but we took a nice long 9 mile bike ride around town...and then hit up yet another barbeque!

We had such a fun weekend! We hope you did too!

Life in May so far...

Well I don't have a whole lot to write about but I wanted to post a few pictures from the last few weeks so here they are...

Caleb's new interest is standing...it is a guaranteed smile when he can stand!

Out for a bike ride...we love the Chariot!

We are finally starting to crawl our way out of what seems like the longest winter ever! We have seen snow fall every month since October. I'm hoping May stays snow free! I am still hopeful that we will have a nice summer. I am really looking forward to spending a lot more time outdoors.

We have settled nicely into our new routine with me home more often. I have a long list of oragnizational type stuff to try and get done around the house and I have been able to get some more "domestic duties" accomplished with my time. Andy has appreciated more home cooked meals and I have even taken a stab at making Caleb his baby food.

We stayed in Rochester to celebrate Easter this year with my family...here is Caleb, yet again in another holiday outfit!

The following weekend we gathered with Andy's family in Madison, WI to participate in "Crazy Legs" race. Some of us ran an 8K portion while some of us opted for a 2 mile walk. Here is grandma with her grandkids in front of Wisconsins Capitol building before the race started.

Both the walk and run ended in Camp Randall (the University of Wisconsin's stadium). This was Andy's first ever race (and Calebs for that matter)-both guys did really well!
That same weekend we went to a zoo!

In other Caleb related news: he has been getting teeth in. This picture shows his bottom two popping through. Now he also has his top two teeth in as well.

Just this past weekend I found myself my mothers day present (and Andy's fathers day present and my birthday present). I had been looking for a bike trailer for Caleb for some time and finally found a great deal on a Chariot Cougar from Craigslist. It also functions as a jogging stroller so maybe Andy can keep up his running and take Caleb with him.
Just today we took him on a walk/jog with it. He seemed to really like it!
