Fall Fun

Caleb recently had surgery on his cheek to remove a small cyst that was growing since he was about 6 months old. It was very minor surgery except that he had to be completely anesthetized up at Primary Children's Hospital. He is too young for them to numb the cheek locally and remove it at a regular dermatologist's office. I held his hand while they gave him gas. That was really sad, but it only took about twenty five minutes and he hasn't been in much pain at all. He had the stitches removed a few days ago and the worst part about this whole ordeal was the nurse removing the band-aid. Caleb did not like that. Here are some pictures. You can see that his left side is a little droopy right after the surgery because it's still numb.






We have also been enjoying the fall season. Caleb has been out in the yard a lot playing in the leaves. We also went to a corn maze/pumpkin farm and had fun with Caleb's cousins. Fall is such a great time of year.

Various fun pictures of Caleb playing in the front yard.



















































Here are some pictures from the corn maze. One is Caleb and his cousin Camden and one is a family shot.

Beach and Blogging

Ok. I'm finally giving in and doing a blog. I apologize in advance if I do not update it enough. I just can't imagine that our family's life is really that interesting to most people out there.

The most recent thing I would like to post is our trip to California. It was super fun. Caleb had a good time hanging out with his cousins and learning how to associate with other people his size. Lara had fun shopping, reading, and playing with Caleb on the beach and Adam had fun body boarding. There was something for everyone.


Here is the place where we stayed, top floor overlooking the beach.
















I thought this was a funny little fisherman, had to snap a pic.


The family all together.
