Caleb's first family reunion


First things first-a picture of Caleb!Yep, he's as cute as ever!
(Just in case you were wondering, his shirt says "Automatic Sprinkler".)

So Caleb enjoyed his first family reunion last weekend. It was a lot of fun spending time with my mom and my brothers and sisters, although everyone was a little bummed that Amy, Matt and Zachary didn't make it. Why do plane tickets have to cost so much? Well, Amy, even though you were missed, we had a lot of fun!
Friday night we went to Brandon's, ate dinner and just hung out.
Caleb finally got to meet his cousins. Ethan was especially excited and gave him lots of "loves" throughout the weekend.
Everyone was captivated by Caleb, even little Eliza.

Then on Saturday we went to Katie and Aaron's to eat breakfast and then we all headed to the zoo. I was a little nervous about taking Caleb, but he did amazingly well. I borrowed a sling from Jamie and he slept in it for most of the day. I guess we'll have to take him back when he's older, he missed pretty much the whole thing:)
This is what I saw one time when I peeked into the sling to see how Caleb was doing.
Caleb wasn't in the sling the whole time, though. This is him and his daddy enjoying some sling "free" time. (My 2 handsome boys!)
We all thought this picture was pretty funny. This gorilla was just lying there in the shade with a burlap bag under his head that he was using for a pillow.
After the zoo we headed back to Katie and Aaron's, all of us pretty bushed from a day walking around in the sun. Although everyone was too tired to go swimming, we enjoyed celebrating 4 birthdays.
Happy Birthday Bennet (you can see the back of his head in the bottom right corner),
Chloe, Troy and Aaron!
Sunday after church we once again gathered back at Katie's, ate lunch, and took family photos.A photo of my family minus the 3 sorely missed persons already mentioned. This is our second family photo
(the first was taken right after Caleb was born in the hospital.)
Don't I have the cutest family?
It was a marvelous weekend! The only sad part was it had to end!
