What we've been up to...

We have been really busy since we got back from Utah with me getting ready for school to start TOMORROW and having Adam go to his ACS (American Chemical Society) Conference in Washington D.C. Ad left the week after we got back and had the opportunity to present his research at the conf. He did an excellent job presenting (I know he did even though I wasn't there) and got to meet up with his old advisor from ISU in Poky! I also sent him on a mission to take as many pictures as he could of the national monuments because we study them in school! He went above and beyond his mission and took about 72 pictures for me while walking ALL over D.C. He told me it was about 10 miles and I believe him!!! He also got to go to the Smithsonian Museums of Natural History and American History. We hope that we can take a family vacation there someday...(especially since I thought the National Mall was a real mall, and told Adam to grab himself some new jeans while he was there!) I am not posting ALL 72 pictures but I hope that these will give you a glimpse of Adam's hard work for his wife!!! Adam left the day that we celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary!! He bought me a beautiful bouquet of flowers and we are planning to go out to dinner soon?!? It has been 6 years of wedded bliss and we're excited for many more!!!!!

Meanwhile back in Texas...
I haven't been taking ANY pictures of Caleb lately...we have been really busy getting back into school and our school routines. Caleb started going back to his babysitter Janet's house and of course loves every minute of it! He is climbing EVERYWHERE and his personality is starting to shine much more everyday!! He spent this weekend with a fever from a "Non specific Virus" I thought it might've been an ear infection because he had been getting over a cold, but we took him to the doctor on Saturday and there was nothing wrong with him other than the fever. He still slept pretty well friday night and was snuggly all day saturday. He is doing just fine today and hasn't been very warm, so I'm hoping that he's fought off the infection. He sure acts like it!!! Which means he hasn't snuggled once!!!


My ragglemuffin kid!


Caleb's new thing is climbing onto chairs. He likes to rock in his rocking chair by himself!


Getting down from the rocking chair!


Again...he is quite the ragglemuffin...this is from this weekend, so he hasn't been feeling well!


I LOVE this picture!! This was while I was doing this blog!! You can tell he's feeling much better!
