Family Fun

We had such a great weekend. We always love spending the entire weekend just hanging out together. Here is a quick summary of the weekend.

Saturday morning always starts with pancakes at 7am. This is one of Caleb’s favorite traditions. Then we took our first family bike ride. We have always thought it would be fun to all ride bikes. Andy saw a pull behind child carrier at a yard sale the other day, and we bought it. Then when had to buy helments and a bike for me. It was worth it. We had so much fun pulling Caleb through the neighborhood, and it is great exercise. Caleb wanted to go faster and faster!

We started something else new Saturday afternoon. I found some popsicle molds, and Caleb helped me make popsicles. He thought it was so much fun to put the fruit in each hole then to pour in the lemonade. He loves to do anything that lets him be our helper.

Sunday started with another bike ride before church. Then we spent the afternoon at one of the Arlington neighborhood water parks. Caleb did the water slide over twenty times. He loves to be in the water, but we have to watch him closely to keep him from drinking the water. We wrapped up the day at a great pizza place called The Upper Crust.

The three of us have such a blast together.

Here is a quick update that I forgot to write about last week. Caleb had his 2 year check up on Monday. He weighed 31 pounds (85%) and was 37 and a half inches tall (95%). Dr. Worsley said he looked great and was doing everything he was supposed to be doing. He was very impressed with Caleb already being potty trained! Caleb had to get one shot, and they took some blood from his finger for a routine test. The highlight of the visit was when Caleb stripped his underwear off and ran around the room naked for Dr. Worsley.
