Messy Face!

Caden is back at Ms. Catherine's after a two week stay with mom dad.  While we loved seeing him all day, every day, I'm pretty sure he missed his friends.  We was having a big ol' time chatting it up with them when I picked him up last night.  I think we may need to purchase Ms. Catherine ear plugs.  He was so excited he just kept getting louder and louder.  :)  Anyways....enjoy his email.

Hi mom!


We are eating lunch and I wanted to show you my messy face. I thought you would like it. I'm going to take a nap after Mrs. Catherine cleans me up. I hope you are having a great day at work.

Love you!
Caden

Who's this guy?

We took Caden for his 10 month pictures tonight.  We're a little bit behind since I was in Nebraska most of last week.  Things worked out well though.  Caden was in an amazingly good mood tonight and we were able to do some family shots.  Hopefully we'll get some Christmas cards out this year since we got our pictures done early.  :)

We are all doing well.  Avoiding the flu and other bugs and keeping busy.  I had a work trip last week that took me to the middle of Nebraska for 4 days.  Dana was a single parent for the week AND helped my mom by a new car.  He's pretty amazing!  I never cease to be amazed at all that Dana accomplishes and he never misses a beat.

We are working on unpacking and getting settled.  I have lots of pictures to share as we have more time.

Dana and I were surprised when we saw this picture of Caden.  He does not look like our 10 month old baby.  This could be his school picture.  I'm not ready for that yet!

Falling Leaves

Hi mom!
We are walking around the neighborhood looking at leaves on the ground. See you soon!
Love,
Caden

Swinging with Friends

Mrs. Catherine has a new swing set at her house. It is pretty amazing. I kind of wish I were smaller so I could try it out. Caden had his first experience swinging today. It appears that he loved it! Christopher (Mrs. Catherine's oldest son) is pushing Caden. He's a cute little guy and all about helping with Caden and his little brother. Today, I had to go back in the house because I had forgotten Caden's food bag. Christopher voluteered to go outside to watch Caden for me while I got my bag. It was really cute. By the way, I didn't leave Caden outside by himself. Dana was in the van since we try to carpool on Tuesdays and Thursdays. :)

Tickles

Mrs. Catherine is tickling me! I'm so cute :-)

Love,

Caden

Packing Time

Caden decided he should help dad pack this afternoon. What a thoughtful boy! With his help, I'm sure things will go smoothly. :)

Mmmmmmm!

Caden loves cheese. In fact, he almost loves it as much as I love cookies and Dana loves Diet Coke. I think he was saving the piece on his nose for later. :)
