For our sixth anniversary, Tiffany and I stayed the night at the Gaylord Texan hotel in Grapevine, which is about a 45 minute drive from our home in Fort Worth. It was so relaxing to get away and not think about what’s going on at home with Caleb. At least in theory that was [...] +

A few Unidentified Floating Objects were spotted by Caleb in his bathwater recently. It really freaked him out. He started dancing around so as not to make bodily contact with them.

Every Friday morning Caleb looks forward to one thing…garbage trucks. He loves to watch the garbage truck come by to pick up the trash. Usually we go outside and sit in the driveway so Caleb can see it up close. This morning we had to watch from the office windows since it was so cold [...]
