Not OK anymore

Now I'm back in OK after 10 years on the left coast, but I'm still not 'OK'...we'll see how life in the middle of the country treats us. Keep checking for life updates and musings...

Getting Into Everything

Caleb is walking, thus mom and dad are now chasing! He is into everything and getting into it much more quickly now. It is fascinating to watch him walk so fast that he is almost running. I've always said that he will go from walking to running very quickly, and I think that is proving to be true. He is also taking after his dad and hitting plastic golf balls with plastic clubs...at 13 MONTHS!!! There are a few new pictures in the album on the left. Make sure to check them out.

We have been quite busy as of late. Two weekends ago, I surprised Tara and Caleb by taking them to CO with me on a trip for APU. We stayed a long weekend at our condo. It was so great! I have never been to CO in May, and it was so beautiful. The mountains still had snow on them, but all the trees were in bloom, and the temps were perfect! If you haven't been, you should check it out sometime. Life hasn't slowed down, as I'm off to a work retreat for two days. Then on Saturday, we fly to OK for a long Memorial weekend where Tara's folks are coming to vist. Both families will be together for a big cookout on Monday. I'm then back at work for two days before leaving for a four day conference. Pretty crazy times! June should be slower and then we are back to CO for our annual summer trip during the 4th of July week. More on that to come at a later date.

I think that brings you up to speed. Caleb and Tara are doing great. He is growing up so fast now it is unbelievable. Family, check your email as I am going to email a picture of him that "aunt Carrie Strawn" thought wasn't Internet worthy, and I agree. But it definitely is emailing to family worthy!

Have a great start to the summer season with a safe and happy Memorial Day!!!

Sorry for the hiatus

It has been a crazy bit of time since the last post. Both Pepperdine and APU graduated on consecutive weeks. Then Tara went to Europe to be trained on leading teams of student leaders around some historical places for 8 days. During that time, my parents came out to visit and take care of Caleb, but unfortunately, Tara had the camera. Now we are back to somewhat normal life and I have put up a bunch of pictures in the online album on the left. Make sure to check them out. For all the moms out there reading this...an early happy mothers day to you!!!!
