In our new house

We finally found a nice house to rent and are just getting moved in. Calen seems to enjoy the place and Steph loves it. I call it "pleasant-ville" with the new houses lined up in mini-mansion track home style.

Calen has stopped letting me read him to sleep at night. He will only go to sleep with Steph. This makes it tough for Steph to get a break at night and frustrating for me as well since that was a fun time for both of us to be together. A mom at work says that it is a phase and that they go from wanting dad only to wanting mom only. I hope so for Steph's sake!

Pictures will be posted soon!

Calen's first road trip.

We went with Brad and trick on a road trip for Thanksgiving in a small class c RV. It was a pretty log trip thus making it Calen's first road trip! During the trip he really started trying to speak a lot. It was awesome. He would repeat letter and numbers in his oh so cute baby voice.


The best part is that he learned what a O is. I put a bunch of blocks with letters on it and he always picked out the O. Too cool.

He has at least 20 signs that he does and is making more up every week. His favorites have got to be truck and airplane. When ever he hears a truck of airplane he does the sign and gets really excited. The airplane sign is his arms extended back and down and very straight and stiff. The truck sign is pumping his arm up and down like we used to do to get a big rig driver to honk his horn.

When he sees a picture of a bus or truck on a card he does the sign as well, vigorously!!!!
