Calvin Turns 3!

A bit late with this post, but better late than never!

Cal turned 3 in November.  His such a funny guy and we love watching his personality develop! He had a fun birthday party in November, but of course I didn't get any photos!!  Here are a couple photos of our cute little guy from the last year.

Such a joyful little guy!

Batman!

 Nothing like playing in the rain in your underwear!

 He's getting brave in the water.

 One of the many activities he enjoys while the big kids are doing school work.

Cal's first visit to the dentist. He did so well!

Christmas snap shots….

We spent Christmas Eve at Nana and Papa's, Christmas morning at our house, and then Grandpa and Grandma's House for Christmas Dinner as usual.  Because we had a sick little guy, we didn't get any pictures!  

 We ended up taking Cal to the emergency room on the way home from my parent's house on Christmas Eve.  We were sent home at 2am with a Pneumonia diagnosis.  Poor little guy.

 Time for Santa gifts!

LOVE the excitement! 

 We have spent much of Christmas break in our PJ's playing with all the new toys!  So fun!

 This was Glen's gift to me.  I was actually a little excited about it too!

Cutting down the tree

One of our favorite Thanksgiving weekend traditions is finding 

and cutting down

 a fresh Christmas tree!

Cal thought this one was perfect!

 Found it!

Fun at the park

Cornell

We took a trip to Iowa in the fall to see Cornell and meet up with Jennifer and Todd. Of course we had to snap some shots on the Cornell sign!

We went to the Pal for a hike and to see the beautiful colors!






It was a quick but fun trip!

First week of homeschool

Caleb started first grade this week! His curriculum focuses on Bible history. He learned much of the history last year with Corinne, but you can never go over Bible history too much!
Corinne started second and will focus on American History. I'm so excited to re-learn everything I missed when I was in school! Of course they do many other subjects, but much of curriculum is themed around history. We love it!!

 Work boxes all ready to go for the first day of school.

 Cal started pre-school but was sick for the first day. :(

Everyone had a great first week!
We feel so blessed that we can teach our own children!!
