I've decided to create a new blog/ family website. I realized that our Mac came with great software that allows me to easily create a fun blog. It is so much faster for me to upload pictures (maybe 20 seconds for 30+ pictures, compared to over 10 minutes before) and readers can download good quality copies of the pictures and print them if they want. I'm pretty sure only the grandparents are interested in that option :)
The new website is not private like this one; it will be open for anyone to read. I feel comfortable doing that since we are not in the thick of Caleb's adoption like we were 2 years ago when I started this site. Since the new website will be public, those of you that use Google Reader or another feed service can subscribe the blog tab ("Caleb's Corner") or the photo album tab "Say Cheese!". There is a subscribe button in the upper right corner of both of those pages. Also, the new website is set up for comments on both blog posts & photo albums.
I have the option to send out an email anytime I update the blog, so if you'd like to be included in that update list let me know. The new site is still a work in progress but I'm having a lot of fun working on it!
So here it is, the new website!!

Time Out at Mother's Day Out
Tonight at dinner Caleb started talking about time out at his school. I noticed a little girl was in time out today when we picked him up so I assumed he was talking about that. However, when we asked Caleb if he ever goes to time out at school he said yes! We were unsure if this was true (his teacher has never mentioned it) so I asked him, "Where do you go for time out at school?" and he told me "Me sit in the little chair, time out" which is exactly where time out is!
We then asked him, "Why does Miss Kim put you in time out?". His response: "Me's a loud kid." Ha! We proceeded to talk to him about using inside voice at school and listening to his teacher, but assured him that he is a good boy who needs to work on being quieter. I'm interested to ask his teacher if Caleb's version of school is accurate or not!

Love the pizza on his face & ice cream running down his arm
Katy & Tyler's Visit
This weekend my best friend Katy and her 4 month old, Tyler, came to Temple for a visit. I am so impressed that Katy was brave enough to travel alone with her baby boy while Travis was on a hunting trip! Caleb was excited for them to come visit and was talking about it for several days ahead of their arrival. He was also fascinated with the pack n' play set up in the guest room.
We had a low key visit and enjoyed time together at the house, eating too much food, late night conversation once the boys were asleep and a leisurely walk around our neighborhood. Tyler has changed so much since we saw him when he was just a few weeks old. He is so, so precious and we loved spending time with him and getting a quick baby fix! Caleb was not so sure about having someone else get all the attention and showed some signs of jealousy, but overall did really well.
I am so grateful we had the chance to spend time with baby Tyler! It was such a blessing to have them visit and to enjoy getting to know him as he grows up. Caleb wanted Tyler to play in the grass with him outside, and I know it won't be long before Katy and I will enjoy watching our boys play together!
