Catching up

Almost a month ago we went to OK for the Memorial Day weekend. We had a wonderful time and Tara's parents, Durne and Jackie were able to come as well. The new pics in the photo album show much of the trip. We spent 4 days there and were able to do many things. Caleb had a lot of firsts...riding on bike with dad, playing in the swimming pool with cousin Cole, seeing a tractor, cows and cats. It was a great time!

Caleb also saw rain for the first time. You can see a few pics of him in the orange shirt playing in the rain as it came off the house. Our last night there a good thunderstorm rolled through in the middle of the night and Caleb didn't like it at all. The thunder was loud and the lightening was bright enough to light up the room through the curtains. He wanted to be close to us so we had to bring him to bed. For nearly 30 minutes, he flinched each time the lightening flashed or the thunder rolled :(

The past two weeks we have been preparing for our move. We are not leaving Pepperdine, rather moving to a bigger place on campus. As part of Tara's new role we get to live in a 4 bedroom place, with sweeping ocean views. We have to be moved by July 9th, but with or Colorado trip going from June 27th through July 7th, we have to be packed before we leave! Thus we are in the process of finishing up packing as I type. We are so excited to be moving to the new place. So much more space, and great views, a yard and more grass outside the fence for Caleb equal very good times!

We are off to Colorado on Wednesday and I can't wait! It will be so much fun seeing family and a few friends. We all are looking for some nice time away in the beautiful Rockies. More will definitely come soon!
