cutest lil' lion around...

CHEESE!!!!!
We haven't done anything for Halloween in the previous years. However, this year there are 2 "Fall festivals" we are going to with Preschool and church and so I figured the munchkin needed an outfit. :) I keep thinking I have my own little Anne Gettes baby. I used to love those little pictures. Anyway, this year we will have a lion and Darth Vader. Woahhh!

OUCH!

I had just washed my hands and went to unplug my phone charger and ZAP I got electrocuted. Oh my goodness I screamed (and we had just finished putting both boys to bed) screamed, because it hurt like crazy! I have never been electrocuted in my 30 years of life and I had no idea how it literally sends shocks to your whole body! Wow, what an experience, it totally took my breath a way and I had to lay down because I thought I was going to pass out. Wowzers! My fingers are still tingling as I write this.

Sorry that's all the update I have for right now. We are all doing well, enjoying life and so happy to have the weather cooling off some!

More later....

Cute, cute Caeden

Caeden woke up this morning and came into our room in different clothes than he went to bed in. I asked him if he had wet the bed and he said yes. I said, "ok you are going to need to take your sheets off and put them in the washing machine." Exasperated he said, "mom... I am a boy and you are a grill (girl) you need to do it." I don't know where he got that idea from but I reminded him that daddy does his own laundry and it is more than fine for men to help with laundry. It has had me giggly on and off all day. :)

In addition to being funny Caeden is.....

loving preschool!
looking forward to turning 4 next month.
enjoying having some new friends to play with at school.
cherishing his play time with old friends.
into Star Wars everything!!! He and daddy have watched the trilogy in this last month and every day there are people "dying" in our home and Caeden protects us by getting the bad guys. I am princess leah and caleb plays chewy or an ewok. I must admit in dreaming of being a mom I never saw myself playing Star Wars. I am realizing though that God had us name our son Caeden Marcus Murphy which means Mighty Warrior, Battler, Sea Warrior. Gosh how many people have the same meaning with each of their 3 names, he's got it good. And he is constantly wanting to fight, kill, use swords, guns and light sabers each and every day. I am trying to cherish the moments where it gets to happen in my home while he is young. There is a part of me that cringes for the day that he might really be out there using his mighty warrior giftedness. I must remember that Caeden was made by God and for God. Not me. So I release him back to his Father now and forever, and I thank our Daddy that he promises to never leave us or forsake us. What a great God!

7 months

Caleb ventured into our sand box for the first time today. He was so excited! Sand immediately went into his mouth and everywhere else. It took a very long time to clean the 3 of us off, but I was reminded of the simple joys that can be found in our own backyard.
Ready, set, go.....he is in crawl position, any day now I expect to see him on the move. What a cute tiger he is!!
He loves doing anything he can with his brother and is always happy to smile at the camera. This was a snap shot taken as he and Caeden were playing cowboys. :)
Caleb continues to warm all of our hearts and his latest is to give us kisses and it not only warms our hearts but melts us for sure!!
We love you Caleb! Happy 7 months! Our lives will never be the same!
