Wagon Rides, Snow Falling, & Walking Shoes

Last week it was finally warm enough to use our wagon. The whole family took a walk around the block.

Caleb had a lot of fun!

I love this picture because you can see how Caleb's hair is starting to curl and get unmanageable.

SO CUTE!

As you can see from my last post, we got snow in Dallas recently. Don't worry, it was a short lived adventure. Here on Thursday - Gone by Monday.
We were without power for over 84 hours. It was MISERABLE!

Lexi was NOT happy to be in the snow

Caleb has fat little feet so I have had a hard time finding shoes that fit him and stay on all day. So, last weekend (with advice from a friend) I went on a mission to find Stride Rite shoes for Caleb. These are his new "kicks"

Look at Caleb's new shoes!!

Caleb has learned to Clap Clap Clap

This is not a great picture but I thought Caleb's expression was funny

Snow in Dallas

I woke up this morning to a front yard full of snow. It is really pretty and falling like crazy. I am hoping to get Caleb home, dressed, and in the snow for a few minutes of play time. It should be a fun experience to watch Caleb in the snow for the first time.

I'm Going to be an Aunt

Amy and Barrett (Braden's older brother) are pregnant and due in August. I am so excited to welcome another bundle of joy into our family. Baby Howell is a blessing and will bring more love to the family.
Caleb is really excited to be a big cousin.
I can not wait to find out (in March) if I will be getting a niece or nephew. Either way, I pray for a happy, healthy baby.

Congratulations again Amy & Barrett - I am very happy for you.

Weekend at Home

It was a very low key weekend in the Howell House. I was not feeling well (stupid stomach bug) and it was cold out so we stayed in and played all weekend.
A BIG Thank You to Braden for all his help this weekend while I was feeling under the weather. He is a great husband and daddy. We might not have made it through the weekend without him.
LOVE YOU HONEY!

Caleb loves this teething toy (which vibrates)

Caleb is trying to hide from me

(when he closes his eyes, you can't see him)

My little monkey climbed between the couch cushions.
Crazy Caleb!

EVERYTHING goes into Caleb mouth. He loves to chew on spoons.

I love this little face!

Caleb loves to walk around and around the coffee table

(like the bumper pads?)

Daddy thought it was funny to "pants" Caleb

Hey Dad

Caleb is not supposed to touch Daddy's blackberry. He was caught with the blackberry in his hands. This picture caption ..... "I don't have your blackberry, Daddy"
