Finally Settled

There still are more boxes lying around that I would like but we finally have the computer set up and the tv hooked up to a few channels. Caleb is adapting fairly well to the changes. His new favorite toy is a beachball. He wakes up in the morning first thing he says is "Baaaallll Baaalllll Baaaaallll" and points to where he left it the night before. We've also been going for walks/bike rides in the mornings to get to know our neighborhood better. The first morning we ended up a bit further away that I anticipated but we eventually made our way back home. Here are some pics from today. Enjoy!

The BIG MOVE

Just to let everyone know that I will be MIA for the next few weeks. We are shutting off the internet here at the house tommorow and packing up the computer to
get ready for the BIG MOVE!! We will still have access at the church and where ever jeremy can pick up a signal on his laptop while we are traveling enroute.
So I will be in every now and then but it will be sparse. If you really need me call me or jeremy.

Thanks
Melissa

PS-my e-mail and cell number will not be changing! See
you on the flip side!

Awesome Website

Many of you have received postcard size pictures from me. My Baby shower Thank Yous, Our Christmas Card 07 and Caleb's Birthday Invites were all from a website called Vista Prints. I have also used this site for address labels and an address stamp. They do great work, have lots of templates, are pretty quick about getting the product back out and have deals all the time. Anyway I am posting a refer a friend link that helps me get credit when you place orders. Check it out the next time you need any cards printed, business cards of any kind or address labels.

Kids say the darnest things

These are some great things that kids have said. Hold on to your seat for the last one!!

MELANIE (age 5) asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied she was so old she didn't remember any more. Melanie said, 'If you don't remember you must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to six.'

STEVEN (age 3) hugged and kissed his Mom good night. 'I love you so much that when you die I'm going to bury you outside my bedroom window.'

BRITTANY (age 4) had an earache and wanted a pain killer. She tried in vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustration, her Mom explained it was a child-proof cap and she'd have to open it for her. Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: 'How does it know it's me?'

SUSAN (age 4) was drinking juice when she got the hiccups. 'Please don't give me this juice again,' she said, 'It makes my teeth cough.'

DJ (age 4) stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: 'How much do I cost?'

MARC (age 4) was engrossed in a young couple that were hugging and kissing in a restaurant. Without taking his eyes off them, he asked his dad: 'Why is he whispering in her mouth?'

CLINTON (age 5) was in his bedroom looking worried. When his Mom asked what was troubling him, he replied, 'I don't know what'll happen with this bed when I get married. How will my wife fit in?'

JAMES (age 4) was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: 'The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city but his wife looked back and was turned to salt.' Concerned, James asked: 'What happened to the flea?'

TAMMY (age 4) was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather wrinkled woman her Mom knew. Tammy looked at her for a while and then asked, 'Why doesn't your skin fit your face?'

The Sermon I think this Mom will never forget.... This particular Sunday sermon...'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a
rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust...' He would
have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening
leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four year old
girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

HE WALKS!!

We have been away from Caleb for the day on a youth trip and when we got home tonight I put Caleb up on his feet and away he went! Not so great at turns just yet and sometimes when he falls he still thinks crawling is faster and easier but he walked all over his room, down the hall and all over the living room tonight. We got plenty of footage!
