Welcome Baby Caleb!

Saturday, October 31, 2009

It’s been a crazy week! Our 2nd nephew, Caleb, was born last Friday. Eric and I went up to meet him and be with the family, but I stayed for a week in Poplar Bluff to help out as needed. I had the awesome privilege of watching my 2 1/2 yr old nephew. I feel like I really got to know him and his little personality so much better. Normally we only spend a weekend every month or so with family, so it was great to be with them for an extended stay. Here’s a few pictures of our sweet baby nephew! I love the second one - Nathan was a little uneasy around Caleb when he cried at first, but you can tell he loves his little brother so much! Please keep Caleb and his family in your prayers as they adjust to having a new family member (i.e. little sleep).

Henderson Park Inn

Sunday, October 18, 2009

We recently took a week long rest-cation to theĀ Henderson Park Inn in Destin, Florida. This is our second experience with a Bed & Breakfast and I have to say it’s leagues better than a hotel. Every morning there was a full breakfast buffet with a chef making made-to-order omelets and waffles, plus a boxed lunch (you pre-ordered the sandwich type the day before) from Honeybaked Ham. It was a definite change of pace from the last vacations at Disney World and the cruise a couple years ago. While we both loved the do-nothing itinerary we “planned”, I still had thoughts of Space Mountain and Epcot in my head. Maybe it’s because I get bored easy :) It was a much needed time to relax - here’s a few pictures from our week.
