Happy Birthday Caleb!

So it looks like it is time for my now ANNUAL blog post. I continue to find it difficult to juggle all of life's demands and staying plugged into technologies these days. We have now lived in Columbus, OH for a little over a year now and are really enjoying being back in the Midwest - closer to family makes life even that much sweeter!

It is the eve of our little guy's fourth birthday and we are so very proud of all Caleb has accomplished over the past year. Looking back to where we were four years ago...and to where we are now - we are amazed every day at God's grace in our lives.

Happy Birthday Caleb - we love you!

I Know It Has Been a While...

Sorry folks for the ummm, vacation I should say from blogging? After moving home to Michigan the summer of 2009 I took a bit of a vacation from blogging. And since there is a lot going on in our world these days - I am getting back on it!



First - we are no longer in Michigan! We moved in June to Columbus, OH as I took a new job that would have me back in the office working with people - and doing something new which has sparked my creative juices again - yeah! Dan is officially done with his internship and is now working on his dissertation 3 days a week - and caring for Caleb the other two. There is a lot of Daddy bonding going on which is great to see.



Caleb is doing well - we did take a stab at potty training but realized he just wasn't quite ready as he needs to DECIDE he wants to do it. We learned he can do it - but only likes to use the potty when it is HIS idea. He is teaching us every day!



Today is Sept. 2 - the day our sweet boy came into our lives. He is a big boy now - THREE years old! Wow how time flies! Happy Birthday sweet pea! We love you so much!

Mackinaw and Kayaking - Strange Combo!

Ok, so a late blog post - better late than never!

(October 2009_ So the past several weeks have been a blur as the Suitor clan has been on the move!

Dan and I headed to Mackinaw Island for the first weekend in October - to celebrate our anniversary and to visit the Island (Yes, I had never been before!). We found ourselves in a Nor'easter if you will - 50 mph winds and cold rain on the Friday evening we were there. But the next morning - the weather parted and we had the best fall weather imaginable! Sunny, cool. Just after a storm feeling. You could tell the straits had undergone a good beating but the day was marvelous!


Then last weekend, my dad and sister came in for the weekend and we went kayaking on the Rogue River. It was amazing and beautiful and so serene - especially after a week's worth of cold rain. The river moved quite well - we did not have to do a lot of extra work. Float trip...ahhh! We roused up some wildlife on our trip, and I kept sticking my gloved thumb in the water...ah the novice kayaker am I!

Caleb's Big Breakfast Adventures

Affectionately known as the "petri dish', Grammy and Gramps took Caleb to Woodland Mall to play on a gigantic breakfast spread, also known as the children's area. Boy did Caleb have a good time. They go their right before the store's opened and so he had the run of the place for quite a while.

I just wanna a little taste of this butter!




Oh, nothing like a little fiber to start your day off right (part of a balanced diet!)




Oh Banana...don't you cry for me...for I have come to sit besides you, as close as I can be!



Caleb enjoy a couple of eggs, sunny side up!

Birthday Party Highlights!

Caleb had a great second birthday surrounded by family and a few friends. Our neighbors stopped by to join the celebration - good food, good times! It was a beautiful day. It was awesome to get everyone together at OUR home for once. Our niece Teague and nephew Rory stayed over the night before - the first time they stayed at OUR house since we have always lived so far away! It was fun!
