Caleb's daycare was closed on Thursday, Friday, and this coming Monday to get ready for the next school year and Labor Day, so we have had a nice long weekend together. I took off from work on Thursday, Nathan took off Friday, and we are all off Monday for the holiday. Here's what we have been up to.
Walking, walking, walking! Caleb has been walking for one week, and he is doing great. Last weekend we took him to buy a pair of good walking shoes, otherwise known as his 'Ernies.' He loves putting them on on go, go, going:)
On Thursday, we played at the playground in the morning. Caleb does great walking in the mulch and he has fun going down the slide.
After a nap, the two of us had a lunch date out, and then went to the farm near our house to see the animals. He like watching the chickens run around and the goats are really friendly with everyone.
After seeing the animals, we played in the grass for a while. I'm not sure what happened in this picture, but he was not happy about something...he is starting to throw tantrums when you take things from him.
But most diversions can turn a frown into a smile instantly!
On Friday, Nathan took Caleb hiking at Chapman's Mills on Bull Run Mountain in the morning, and to Long Park in the afternoon. I accidentally left the camera on overnight, so he was only able to get a few pictures of their day. It was a beautiful morning, as you can see.
After riding in the hiking backpack, Caleb wanted to hit the trail too!
On Saturday visited our friends Tom, Erin, and Jenna for a BBQ. Tom had a couple of their college track and cross country friends over, and it was fun for the guys to get together. The grilled food and dessert was delicious, and as a thank you for all the nice hospitality, Nathan whopped Tom in a few games of cornhole. The first thing he said when he got in the car was he felt bad about it:). Caleb and Jenna had fun playing together, and Erin and I had a lot of good time to hang out. Thanks for the fun day!
Today we had a nice morning at church and the boys are both sleeping as I type. It is supposed to rain the next several days, so I think we will be indoors. Happy Sunday!

Looks like the weekend is going great. Caleb is going to wear out those "Ernies" before you know it. Nathan's pics from his walk looked great. Enjoy the rainy days together.
Love, Dad and Mom P.
Those photos of Caleb's new shoes are perfection! Definitely a symbol of this life stage he's going through. Those shoes will be very precious to you because baby boy number 2 will wear them as well. Shoes contain memories!
I too am liking the Ernies and the adventures of your boys!
