8 weeks today!!!

Yes it has already been 8 weeks since our little boy came into the world.  We have had a great time so far.  We have learned a lot about ourselves mostly, and continue to find out more about Caleb.  We think that our family, including Ginger, loves to snuggle.  I think that I have already mentioned this but it still rings true to this day.  Caleb is growing fast and seems to be happy most of the time.  As long as he gets fed when he wants it and is next to someone or in someones arms he is good to go.  It has been difficult to understand what he wants some of the times and we both have gotten frustrated not knowing what he wants and that only makes it harder.  But as soon as he smiles or makes his little cooing sound it is all worth it.  We have finally found a way to make him smile almost every time.  Clapping his hands together and saying "yay" usually does the trick.  He has a the cutest smile.  You have all seen it.  He is deffinetly our little man.

Conference was great last week.  It pains me to see how other people are reacting to God's words.  There is so much pride in the world today.  Why cant they take it as constuctive critisism instead of insults?  I am 100% behind all of what was said last weekend by our leaders.  I love to hear what they have to say and how they say it.  It is a sure sign to me that God is out there and is guiding this church. 

Also last weekend was the opening of the waterfowl hunting season.  I had a great time going out with one to the guys from work and having him show me his spot to hunt.  I did miss my father.  It was the first time going out on the opening day without him.  It was a different experience.  So I did not get anything.  I shot 12 times at ducks but cant hit the side of a barn.  I dont know if my barrel was bent, using a different gun, or not having my father with me had anything to do with it.  I will try again before the goose hunt comes along.  I need to get my shot down before that time so I can definitely bring something home from Idaho.  So wwe will see how the rest to the season goes.

As for Carolyn, well she is doing a great job at being mom.  It is sad sometimes to see her so tired at night and have to get up to feed Caleb.  I would love to help her in that department but it is better for Caleb that she feeds him.  I will change the diapers or rock him to sleep or do anything I can to help her.  She is a true trooper for this being the first time for all four of us.

Ginger is still as cute as ever.  She always wants to play and be near someone.  She does have her lazy moments though which makes her even more cute.  She waits for two hours by the window sometimes to see  when I get home from work and is so excited to see me.  She is adjusting just great with Caleb.  She even gives him a kiss now and again when ever she can get the chance.  She is so loving and playful.  She is our little puppy.

Well that is all for this week.  May God bless you and keep you.  Follow the straight and narrow and remeber who you are!
