Belgium

We have arrived in Belgium and finally got over our jet lag.  We had to sleep for several days to get over it.

Does this picture of Caleb sleeping remind anyone else of the Sistine Chapel?

Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year.

Caleb got a new bike.

Emmylou got a cash register.

Sally got some M&M's. Okay, Sally got more than M&M's, but she was as excited about them as she was about anything else.

I got a new bike too!

And, we all got helmets. We also got a bike trailer and this cool attachment that turns a regular bike into a tandem bike, so we can all ride together.

Here I am pulling the girls in the bike trailer and looking supremely dorky.

And here are the boys.

Baylor Playground - Waco

Grandma and Grandpa came to Texas in October. They helped us get our yard ready for winter. We went on lots of hikes, played at the green and gold Baylor playground and ate great Texas barbeque.

Happy Birthday Caleb!

Caleb turned four on Saturday! He has been so excited for his birthday. He asked for a pet and a dinosaur cake. Mom was a little intimidated by both, but how can you say no to such a sweet boy?

The cake turned out alright except that the head kept falling off.

And the toad seems to be fairly low maintenance . He gets looked at a lot.

First Ponytail!

X-ray

Soon we will have more pictures of Caleb's insides, than his outside. He was "steering" a 45lb plate on the wieght lifting bar in the garage on Thursday when it fell and landed on his face and arm. He was seen by a good friend in the ortho clinic and cleared to continue wieght-lifting. It's amazing that little boys survive little-boyhood.
