Going, Going....GONE!

Oh Caleb and his corn. This kid loves it...and I must say it's one of my favorite things to watch him eat! He has a little process where he starts by gnawing away at the ends and then he moves to the middle; however, not only does he chew away at the kernels he also spends much time sucking the juices off the cob. It's so funny and it does a nice time occupying his time at the table. Hmmm...come to think of it, I just may start giving him corn on the cob every night! HA! Enjoy the pics!

Gnawing away!!

Inspecting to see what is left...

A happy corn eater!!

The remains

Labor-less Weekend

All play, no work. That's the way our Labor Day holiday was, and that's just the way I like it! We had such a great long weekend. Chad and I got to spend some time by ourselves and we also got lots of quality as out little family of three. Check out the pictures below for a recap of our days together.

WE RELAXED!!!!
Obviously I was up and about, but Caleb, Chad and Daisy enjoyed a relaxing Friday morning. Caleb woke up and was just getting over being sick so I let him watch a "movie" (aka Baby Einstien) in our room. You can tell Chad and Daisy were oblivious to him being there!

IKEA and BILLY GRAHAM LIBRARY:
Chad and I took off on Saturday to head to Charlotte. I've been wanting to hit up IKEA so mom and dad kept Caleb and off we went. We decided that since we were headed that way we'd also stop by the Billy Graham Library since we'd been wanting to go there as well. WOW! What a neat trip. The whole experience far surpassed our expectations. What a wonderful ministry this is!! It is so inspirational to watch the journey of a man who simply completely yielded his life to Christ. I knew he had touched a lot of lives, but WOW! If you've never been here, you definitely need to make the trip. I promise you it will be a blessing.

GEORGIA AQUARIUM:

Monday we decided to take Caleb to the GA Aquarium. Another very neat place. I will say, it was a little much for an almost 18 month old, but there were parts he really enjoyed. It was somewhat difficult because there were tons of people so we couldn't really just let him walk around so he got a little frustrated having to be held or in the stroller the entire time. However, mommy and daddy had a blast!!

Caleb's favorite part was playing outside of the aqauarium!!!

NEW COUSIN!!!

And last.....although we had a labor-less weekend we had one family member who took the day quite literally!!! Caleb's first first cousin was born on Labor Day. His name is Braylon Jackson Byce and he and his mommy are doing well. Caleb has not met him yet, but is sure to love him!

Do you see what I see?!?!

For weeks now I have been looking for the first signs of fall. The very first sign I found was on the cover of my Southern Living magazine that arrived last week. Yesterday, while Caleb and I were playing outside, we found something a little more promising. Take a look...

(look around the bottom of the tree!)

Caleb would pick up a leaf and say, "OOOOOOOhhhhh" and then rip it apart and throw it down. I can't wait until they all turn crunchy because he will have a blast!! Fall is definitely on it's way. Oh...and the weather yesterday was absolutely PERFECT!!! It almost felt a little cool. Lovin' it!!!!
