Backyard Picnic

Last week Bryan had the day off on Wednesday.  We decided to enjoy the beautiful weather by having a backyard picnic at lunch!  Although it stinks when Bryan has to work night shifts or weekends in the ER, we are blessed by the times when he is off in the middle of the week and we can enjoy great family time!  


I believe that Caleb loves his Mommy & Daddy equally, but he realizes that most of his day is spent with Mommy since Daddy works long hours.  I love seeing how much our son loves his Daddy.  It is one of the sweetest things to watch.  Caleb craves and adores his time with Bryan; if they are watching a little bit of ESPN together or playing and I try to join Caleb says "Bye Mama!" etc to let me know this is his guy time with Daddy!  I treasure our family time together, not just because Bryan gives me a break no matter how tired he is - but because it is such a blessing to see a wonderful father/son relationship and to see Bryan be such an outstanding father every single day.


Here are some pictures from our last family day together!

Enjoying the sunny weather with Mommy.  We are SO ready for spring!  My sweet boy loves to be outside all the time!

This is Caleb giving his Daddy a "hug", all while saying "ohhhhhh" which is what he does when he is showing affection.

Exhibit A:  Why we are still using a sippy cup.

Caleb cleaning the plates.  He loves fresh fruit!  His other favorite snack recently is the Target brand 'goldfish' which are shaped like birds.  I think Target calls them Chickadees;  Caleb calls them "tweet tweets".
