Caleb's Birthday

It's a little late to be posting about this, but I can't not mention it! Caleb turned 5 on Sept 4. We brought cupcakes to preschool and he got to wear a birthday crown all day at preschool. He wore it proudly, even at Chuck E Cheese and until bedtime. We decided to celebrate his birthday just with the family at Chuck E Cheese this year.


Where have the 5 years gone? Here's a picture from his birth:

The last 2 weeks we've all been getting adjusted to the new school year and schedule. I was disappointed when summer was over, but now that we are 3 weeks into it, I realize it has been a good change.

Eliyana's Prayer

A line from Eliyana's bedtime prayer tonight:
"and help me to get used to my brother . . ."
(she was referring to Caleb, if you hadn't guessed!)

On an unrelated note for those of you who read my blog about Eliyana's new pet snake, Rosetta, you will probably be happy to know we found a new home for her. We decided to give her away after she nibbled on Josh's hand a couple weeks ago. So those of you afraid to visit us because of our snake, fear no longer! We think we are done with snacks as pets (at least for awhile!)
