Cael's Visitation Weekend

In the birth agreement, Paul's family has shared custody of Cael, getting him at least one weekend a month. This works out quite well for us as parents, especially when we want to go to the state wrestling tournament. Grandma, Aunt Sarah, Aunt Kirsti, Aunt Julie, and Grandpa all took their turns with the little stinker, and they took some great pictures, too.

Day One...

Where's Cael?

Naptime for Grandma and Cael

A Day in Holbrook

Spoiled rotten by Grandma, Aunt Sarah, and Aunt Kirsti, Cael spent last Saturday in Holbrook. I am shocked they didn't buy him the recliner he obviously loved. In the photo below, Cael is walking with Grandma to the basketball game to cheer on Jalen. I love this picture. It is great, but I wish we could see Grandma's face, too.

What happens when you go and go and go?

1.5 Years

Cael entered the nursery today at church. He ran right in and kept running the whole time, while his mom was wiping away the tears.

Of joy.

No more wrestling with him for three whole hours. No more missing classes. No more hoping he will fall asleep for a few minutes.

Sorry, you dear nursery workers. Good luck with the little go-getter.

Snow Day

Where did my shoes go?

The cutest snowbunny this side of 12th South

What is Dad doing now?

Oh, he's finally getting the leaves off the lawn.

Who is that guy?

Mama's Snow Angel

Hi, Mama!

I feel a little draft...

I caught Cael with his pants down,

standing there watching T.V.

What a nut!

Watching Wrestling and Wrestling Cael

First, Cael played and played and played while we were at the Doc Wright tournament with Auntie Brandee and Hope. Hope is a lifesaver; she kept taking the little energizer bunny out in the foyer to play on the awards' stand. When not out there, Cael played with his toys, read books, ate, and bonded with Austin.

Second, Tony Raykovitz took Cael in a wrestling hold and walked around with him until his arm was visibly limp, and he fell asleep (Cael, not Tony). Cael slept for awhile until his dumb mama dropped her phone on the floor near where he was sleeping. Startled, he awoke and was grumpy until he ate a bag of popcorn

from the concession stand.

In conclusion, Cael spent Saturday of the tournament with Aunt Kirsti in Holbrook, and Mama actually got to watch some high school wrestling. Go Redskins!
