The Survivor.

Jim and I were working on Caleb's birthday present. We decided to revamp his bedroom. Cleaning/organizing/decluttering- with a few Birthday surprises added in.


And as we were working- we could not believe how Caleb has survived his first 8 years.

Such as:
Colic
The possible failure to thrive as a baby
The fall into live cactus and the hours of de-prickling
3 or 4 bloody lips
numerous head injuries- which include the ER visit on Christmas Day
The 4 day hospital stay with brochcial athsma
Too many ear infections to count
Kindergarten
Scarlett Fever

Yet, as much as he has been through in his short life time- we have been through it with him. He is the child that is making us really earn our parenting stripes. All the blood, sweat, tears and the occasional telephone calls from the principal have been worth it.

He is my boy. And my boy is growing up *Sniff, sniff*

So how did he like his room?

I think this face says it all.

Happy birthday Caleb!

Project 365

I decided to participate in project 365. Pretty much you take a picture every day and then I'm going to attempt to make a scrapbook with a years worth of pictures. We will see how this goes. :)
