Busy Baby Caleb

(I love Ellie in the background)

My boys

Sometimes they are at each other's throat...

Occasionally there is tenderness

But there is always silliness!

Those are my boys!

Around the house

Papa reading a bedtime story

Quietly there were two lumps in the sheets that were on their way to the laundry

Ellie Mae is very patient!

Parakeet exhibit

We really enjoyed this parakeet exhibit- you bought little sticks with seed on it so the parakeets would eat from it

This was the neatest thing for Aidan..

They had >500 birds at this exhibit!

The zoo

Aidan in his "gucko" shirt

One of the panda cubs-- The mother Lun Lun and I are apparently on the same gestational clock-- Mei Lan was born September 2006 and Xi Lan was born August 2008....although the keeper reminded me that giant pandas are only fertile annually...

Caleb looking at the parakeet-- right before he took a swipe at the poor bird

Papa and the parakeet communcating

Going to the Zoo

Aidan and Nana watching the elephant

Our animals are all "Georgia Clay" colored down here

Caleb and his parents

Papa and Aidan watching the birds demonstration!

Pool time

The group at the pool

Aidan is getting good at jumping!

The A-team is all smiles!

Serious concentrating with Papa

Nana and Papa are here!

That means lots of walks!

Aidan helping Daddy water the plants

Getting "cozy" with Nana

This isn't very "cozy" for Papa!

Now we have a beach in our backyard

So, the pool wouldn't be complete without its own sandbox

Caleb thought he would try to combine both activities

Aidan playing with the crane in the sandbox

Grandma visits

Caleb is really moving in the horizontal plane with his motion-- he did act like he was about to walk tonight while trying to tackle Aidan...

For simplicity, we created our own pool to keep everyone cool...

Where else would you be when it is 95 degrees?

HOT today-- went to some friends' pool

Aidan is doing great in the water-- putting his face in

All smiles while in the water

Baby friends in their floaties!
