Today is my sweet little boy’s third birthday. Where did the time go? It feels like only moments ago he was a tiny little baby. Now he’s a big, loud, sweaty boy! I am so in love with my little guy and so incredibly blessed to be his momma. I wish I could describe him for you, but all I can say is that he is exactly what a three-year-old boy should be. He loves running and splashing and getting dirty, but he also loves bringing flowers to his momma and cuddling on the couch.

As an example of his cute personality, I’ll tell you about our trip to the farm this week. Caleb has been fascinated with all things trucks and cars for a while now, but this week he found a new love . . . the Rhino. We went to visit some of Casey’s family at the big family farm where Casey’s mom grew up and where all of her family still lives. It’s always fun to visit the family, but Caleb especially enjoyed this visit. Casey’s Uncle Kirk has a Rhino that he uses to get around the farm and take care of his chickens, etc. He was kind enough to let us ride around in it some, and Caleb is absolutely smitten. He even prayed for the Rhino the night we were there.

The day that we left happened to be chicken selling day at the farm. Casey’s uncle raises chickens and was selling probably around 60,000 chickens while we were there. Pops took Caleb over to watch the chickens being loaded into trucks. Caleb watched as the wranglers herded the chickens into crates and stacked them up on big semi trucks (I’m sure you’ve seen these chicken trucks on the interstate before). Caleb watched quietly for a few minutes and then said to Pops, “Chickens having a bad day!”

Here’s a picture of Caleb with Daddy and some cousins in the back of the Rhino.
