Attempt at a Catch Up -- More to Come

So I know I have been extremely horrible about catching everyone up with what is going on in life. We've been just a little busy. We have finally made it to Illinois. Mostly unpacked and having a good time trying to adjust to the HUMIDITY!!!!

The house is wonderful. Lots of space - we hardly know what to do with it all - so used to being in just one or two rooms. Now we have dozens :)

Craig starts teaching in a couple of weeks. He's very excited to start. I am having fun getting to know the town (and all it's shopping to craig's demise). Caleb is loving having space to run around. He loves to water his backyard - himself too usually.

So - just for a little bit of catch up I'm posting two videos. I'll post more pics later - but for now I can get this up.

1) Toy Heaven. So our subdivision happened to have a subdivision yard sale where the entire subdivision had garage / yard sales. There were about 50 homes participating. So, caleb and I woke up early and headed out. We spent about $90 but had a blast and brought home a ton for mister CALEB!!! He loves his new slide and car.



2) Swimming at PaPa Gardner's. Just before we moved, my parents were gracious enough to allow us to stay there for a few months. It helped us out tremendously. Well, Papa has a pool. Caleb loves the water like nothing else, so almost everyday we had to take him swimming. Here's one of the video's we captured. No laughing at the woman holding the child!!
