Big Brother with Grandma and Grandpa P.

Grandma Betty came to Virginia last weekend to stay with Caleb while we were in the hospital welcoming Benjamin to the world, and to help us get settled when we came home. It was so nice to spend the week with her and Caleb loved the special attention all week.  Here are some pictures from their time together.

Trip to the Reston Zoo. Caleb had fun seeing and feeding the baby animals.

Thank you Grandma Betty for the fun memories this week, and for taking great care of us!
On Friday morning, Grandpa Mark arrived. Not a second passed before Caleb was in his wagon and they were out on a walk. Afterwards, Grandpa even got to take naps with both of his grandsons what a treat!

On Saturday Nathan, Caleb, Mark, and Betty went to Sky Meadows Park for the Fall Farm Festival, and Ben and I spent a quiet day at home. We are lucky to live so close to this beautiful park and we will be visiting more as the leaves continue to change during the fall. They had a fun day at the park.

I love my daddy
Who is that cute boy in the monkey hat!
Running through the hay stacks
And through the tunnel to grandpa
And back through the hay
And back through the tunnel

Caleb for mayor...he waves at everyone!
Can I have this one please? I may need some help lifting this!
Grandpa introduced Caleb to the back of his truck. It was a big hit and he and Caleb spent a lot of time playing in it this weekend.

Yay for red trucks!
Good bye baby, hello little boy!
Mommy loves her big guy
And her little guy
Thank you grandpa Mark and Grandma Betty for the great visit. Until next time:)

Brothers

While Caleb has been waiting to meet his little brother the last few days, he and Grandma Betty have enjoyed a lot of time together. Earlier today they came to the hospital to meet Ben and it was very sweet to see Caleb and Ben meet for the first time. Here are some pictures from the last few days:

I'm a big, big brother!
 
 We had about 10 pictures of the 4 of us, and this one was the best, even though Caleb's eyes are closed.. I now understand why people take a zillion family photos and pray that one turns out decent. That will be us for the next several years with 2 small childeren :).
