Caleb Update

Wow, once again time passes so quickly. We can not believe our little Bubs is almost 2! We have had quite the summer. Lots of fun memories to look back on. We recently visited Andrea's brother and his family in Turin, Italy and are adjusting back to our normal routines. We will post another blog in the next few weeks all about our time in Italy. Wanted to show you some of our highlights from this summer. Caleb is the star of the show of course, at least for the next four or so months. Andrea is 20 weeks along in her pregnancy and we have decided to wait until the end to find out the sex of the baby. We are eager for this wonderful surprise! So...we will let you know around the 30th of January! Here is a snapshot of some of the highlights from our summer...


Caleb doing what he likes to do best: play with his trucks and cars on the ground. This was captured after Uncle Jason's (Josh's brother) wedding in August. Caleb was the handsome ring bearer. Thank goodness for washing machines with little boys!Family photo outside of the wedding chapel. Hard to get a 23 month old to smile for the camera, let alone want to stop playing long enough for a photo.

I am still amazed that they make such small adorable tuxedos. Caleb ran down the isle with his truck in hand. Hey, whatever works!


Great-grandpa Schmidt playing with his great grandson in our backyard. It was such a gift to have the Schmidt family out for the wedding. We got to spend a few days with family prior to the wedding.

Caleb in his glory! We stored Uncle Jason's big blue truck through the winter months. Caleb was thrilled when the blue tarp was taken off and he could see what was underneath. He even got to drive the truck. Whenever Caleb hears Uncle Jason he says big blue truck. I think we have a match!

We have spent many fun hours at the Children's museum this summer. This picture was taken when Nana Nancy and Papa Sam came out for a visit this June. We had a blast!

Caleb and Andrea went to Portland in July to visit Andrea's good friend and her family. We went berry picking one day and here is Caleb reaching for a ripe rasberry. He really got into it and had fun running up and down the berry patches.

So the theme here is trucks, cars and...trains. We went to the Denver Zoo with Nana Nancy and Papa Sam while they were out. Caleb likes the animals okay, but he LOVES the train and all the zoo vehicles more. Good times!

Caleb visiting Great Gram in Chicago at the end of May. We happen to discover these fun construction trucks across the street, what are the chances? Caleb got to drive the paver. He could have done this for hours! He and Great Gram had a so much fun together.
