These are some of the many faces of Caleb.
I can't believe Caleb is already 4 years old and he is already looking forward to being 5! Isn't that the story of a little brother? Always trying to be big. It is Caleb's goal in life to be bigger than Matt; he talks about it almost everyday... and whatever you do, don't use his name and "little" in the same sentence. Caleb has always been a warrior, always trying to conquer the world around him and we just pray that as he grows God will direct his steps and use him in a mighty way.
A few facts about Caleb:
He loves Dr. Suess (mostly because Caleb,himself, loves words and rhymes)
He has a very tender side. Out of all the children he will notice and compliment me if I am wearing a pretty dress and he's the one that likes to play with my hair- sooooo sweet.
It would not surprise me if he becomes a vegetarian as an adult. He would love to live on veggies and fruit.
He loves to run and he's actually very good at it- he has quite good endurance for his age.
He loves to be tickled. Every night before he goes to sleep he asks for a kiss, a regular hug, a bear hug, and a tickle bear hug...in that exact order.
He loves water- the downside of this is that he has been my bathroom mischief kid. I have found wet toilet paper wads all over the bathroom, toilet paper rolls crammed down the sink drain, my mascara painted all over the bathtub and various other deeds and he ALWAYS comes out of the bathroom with wet hair...very suspicious.

FOR TODAY November 16, 2009...
Outside My Window...Complete darkness.
I am thinking...One million things, as usual. I need to do the dishes, a load of laundry, take a shower, prepare a few things for homeschooling...I am thinking about tackling our debts, all the remodeling that still needs to be done on the house and the fact that I really need to post a blog about Caleb's birthday.
I am thankful for...the Father and our Messiah- the true bread of life...
From the learning rooms...We are reading Farmer Boy and loving it even more the 2nd time around. Caleb and Jonas are really into drawing lately and are producing the best artwork:)
From the kitchen... Nothing too fabulous. I have been trying to eat just raw fruits and vegetables for lunch every day and it really seems to improve my energy level for the rest of the day...no more falling asleep reading stories after lunch!
I am wearing... royal blue pj's
I am creating...a peaceful home...or at least trying to.
I am going...to stay home all week and enjoy not running around here and there.
I am reading...so many books...mostly all Charlotte Mason or Sally Clarkson.
I am hoping...this week will be fun and productive.
I am hearing... Matt typing up lesson plans on his laptop beside me.
Around the house... I really want to paint. After all the painting we did a year ago I got so burnt out on painting...but the desire to paint again is returning...so we'll see if the desire is strong enough to actually pick up the paint brush.
One of my favorite things... watching the leaves falling from trees, beautiful colors twisting and floating to the ground.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week... no plans. I am just going to take each day as it comes.
