January

Jimmy started a new job this month. This picture was taken on his first day before he left for work. I'm very proud of him.

Caleb, all bundled up and ready to go outside.:)

Here is Elijah yesterday before we left for school. We have had a very COLD winter so far, but not a lot of snow. We have been in the single digits the last couple of mornings, which is cold even for Michigan!

Ever since Caleb first came HOME, he has always done this funny little thing with his hand held close to his mouth when he is getting tired. He moves his tongue in and out of his mouth quickly, just enough to touch his hand. His tongue makes a little clicking noise while he does this. I always think it is so adorable when he does this.

Elijah and Caleb

I can't believe it's been almost a year of having our precious peanut in our family. He is so sweet and loving and funny! He has the cutest giggle and no one can make him laugh like Caleb. Those two have quickly become inseparable! But that is what I hoped for. My hope for Elijah was that he would look up to Caleb and adore him and that they would have lots of fun together. My hope for Caleb was that he would have a little brother that he would laugh with and can't wait to see when he gets up in the morning. And that is what happened. These two silly boys have become best buddies, who play together, laugh together and learn from each other. They even will sit with the other when one has a time out. Totally defeats the purpose of time-out but I can't help but smile when I see them sitting together. If I give them a snack and put it into a bowl for each of them, it doesn't take more than a few seconds for them to combine their snacks into one bowl and eat it together. They sing together, dance together, play together, throw things together (ok, so that's one thing I had not hoped for! LOL) and have fun together...... and best of all they LOVE each other! God's plan is always perfect!

Random Tidbits

Caleb is playing a Curious George game on the laptop. He is all about George!

Elijah is quickly becoming a Ham!! He has quite the personality!

See that horn? It's really LOUD! And Jimmy had just blew it right next to me on New Years! (That's why he is cracking up!!) :):)

Silly Sounds

Jimmy is always making silly sounds. In fact, I think it is one of the things that Caleb loves most about Jimmy. He just cracks up when Jimmy starts making his sounds. Here Jimmy is making a sound of an elephant. He sounds like a real elephant too! Caleb thinks he is so funny!
