Moving

We had one week to move out of our house after it closed so I'm glad Casey thought of a way to make it easy. We boxed our whole house up, loaded it on pallets, and loaded the pallets on a flatbed and hauled it away. It took three pallets just to get all of Casey's horn sheds packed up. 

Our last day at home was May 31st.

3 Months

I can't believe my little boy is already 3 months old. Where does time go? I'm sure I will find myself saying that with every milestone that we hit. 

At his 2 month wellness visit Cael weighed exactly 11 pounds. He was in the 17th percentile for weight, 34% for height, and 75% for his head measurement. He must have a lot of brains! He is such an active little guy, that I don't know that he will ever be a fat baby. I wish he would get fat but he is constantly moving his arms and kicking his legs and I'm guessing he'll be tall and skinny like his daddy. 

Cael has found his hands, his voice, and his smile. Me and Casey love cuddling with him together in the mornings and he is so happy. He likes chewing on his hands, going for walks in his stroller, playing with his cousins, sleeping, being naked, and is starting to show some interest in toys. 

He is such a fun little boy and we love him more than anything in the world. 

Goodbye to Our First Home

I'm so excited about our new home but our old home will never be forgotten. I will miss our yard and am not looking forward to starting all over with that at the new house. We live on a dead end street but we put a For Sale sign up and had two different couples walk through our house with-in a week. It sold a lot faster than we expected. We have to be moved out by June 1st. We will be able to stay in Jay and Becky's basement until the new house is finished; hopefully some time in August. 

Cael's Blessing Day

We decided a little last minute to bless Cael in May. Last minute meaning we decided on Friday that we would do it on Sunday. I was running around a little crazy trying to do everything I could to make the day perfect. I wanted to have a family party after church so I had two days to clean the house and plan a dinner. I already had a commitment the day before, so I had to run and buy the first blessing outfit that I liked. On his blessing day I woke up 45 minutes late, Cael had a blowout on Casey's khaki pants that he wanted to wear and I had to hurry and wash and dry them. I would've thought the day was going to be a complete disaster, but looking back at the end of the day it really ended up being completely perfect. Cael fell asleep literally 30 seconds before I handed him to Grandpa Jay to do the blessing. Jay gave him the best blessing I had ever heard and it was so special. My dad and a lot of our close friends and family were able to stand in on the blessing. Everybody helped with lunch. I cooked a ham and everybody brought salads and rolls and drinks to go with it. Everyone had a good time. No one noticed that I didn't have time to vacuum my house. All the little things were forgotten and it was the most perfect day. We were so proud of our little boy.
