Some Sad News

Well, our car died this past week. I was driving to Bible Study and it died on Interstate 65. Jared towed it to get it looked at and they said they could fix it. What started out as an oil leak ended up leading to a bad engine. For some time there had been something wrong with our oil pressure gauge. They said we would never had known it was bad until the car finally died. So now comes figuring out what to do next. Do we fix it for a couple thousand or do we get a "new"(2004 or so) car? I will keep you updated. We should have something figured out by the end of this week. Please pray that we will be led to do what we should. Jared and I have never had a car payment since we have been married. This is new territory for us. It may seem small to others, but whem you basically have one income it is a huge thing.

A lot going on...

So I know it has been a while since I have posted, but I am going to try and make up for it in the next couple of days! Since the last post we have had Christmas, New Years, some family birthdays, Valentine's Day and some other events going on. Christmas was wonderful! Because of God's incredible blessings to us we were able to give Caelan a great Christmas this year! It was such a blessing to everyone. He was so excited when he woke up and saw what was left by the tree. Yes, I said by because most of it would not fit under! I know, a little over board, but what can you do sometimes?! I will post a couple of pics when I can get them downloaded. We got ourselves a new digital camera for Christmas and the one thing I like is that the memory card can hold several hundred pics without having to download!

Halloween 2007

This year Caelan was Tigger for Halloween. He was so cute! I ended up working down at the daycare that day so Caelan was able to go party with some of his buddies. They partied hard because he slept for almost 4 hours after we got home! That night we went to Shades Mountain Independent to see me mom and Doug. Then we came home and took Caelan down our street. After that excitement we handed out candy to other kids who came by. Caelan loved every minute of it. His favorite part was when he found suckers! I think he ended up having four by the time he went to bed. He loves them!! He thinks he is "Mr. Big Shot"!!! Too cute!

Lazy Weekend

We decided a couple of weeks ago that we needed to stay home to watch some games instead of going somewhere to watch the games. It was great. During the Alabama game Caelan crawled up on top of me and didn't move. It was so cute. I am always excited when we don't really do anything and hang out at home!

Pumpkin Patch

We had so much fun this year at the pumpkin patch! Last year he was not mobile so it made things easy. This year Caelan was running all around the pumpkins. We let him pick out his own and he carried that thing everywhere we went looking for our family pumpkin. He was so cute! I can't wait to see how he reacts to Christmas!

Movin' On Up!

These posts are a little out of order, but some are better than none,right? In early October we moved Caelan into his toddler bed. This was a big step because he was only 17 months. We thought it might be too soon, until he tried to hike his leg over the side of the crib and get out. I guess Caelan went from being my baby to a grown boy because he tried to help Jared take his crib apart! It was so funny to watch. He is doing fantastic in the race car bed. The first couple of weeks he would actually get out of his bed at night if he woke up and would come stand right beside out bed. We figured out that a gate would fix that problem! He has been fine since. (The last picture is the final product.) My little boy is growing up too fast!!

Alabama Game

Here are some quick pics from the Alabama game we went to. It was so hot that day, but Caelan was a trooper! He didn't fall asleep during this game, but passed out on the way home!
