Caleb Goes to Church

The day started off with Caleb and me making Mary Beth breakfast in bed with roses. Everyone was hungry, so we all decided to share the Mother’s Day meal of bacon, eggs, toast, and OJ. After breakfast, we all got ready to go to church. Caleb looked so cute in his little baby gown and [...]

Boy or Girl?

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

That’s what everyone keeps asking us and we still don’t know yet. The good news is that we will find out on December 6th, but for now we can only guess. My wife has a feeling that it’s a girl, but I couldn’t tell you either way. Some people say that if the heartbeat is [...]
