Life at home

I've got to be honest. I'm really enjoying being at home, but some days it's really tough. Abby cries a lot, although we're working with a few remedies that have seemed to be helping. Caleb has his ups and downs, I just need to remember that he is 2... and just turned 2! It's easy to have too high of expectations for him. But most days, we have fun! We go on outings, we go to the park, we work in the house together.
He loves to help with laundry... He helps match socks ("Same one!"), he uses the laundry pile as a beanbag ("me fall on the laundry! Big pile right there!"), and uses the laundry basket as a boat in the ocean (aka hardwood floors) and as a bed.
He loves to paint with our homemade watercolors. (cornstarch, water, food coloring).
He loves to help make food, especially biscuits. ("me wear apron!")
He loves to dig and scoop ("me dig that right now!")
He loves garage sales ("Garage sale! Me see toys and people!").
He loves his baby sister ("Baby Abby super happy now!")
He loves his car bed and really loves his binkie. ("me have it the binkie!")
He loves the trampoline. ("me jump on the 'camp-o-leen'!")
He loves his trains.
He loves to watch TV or my iPhone... especially Shawn the train, cars 2, sesame street, & Thomas train videos.
He loves to go on walks.
He loves playing with his cousins Mo-mo and Na-na.
He loves seeing his friend Quinn, especially at the zoo.
He loves eating, all the time.
He loves Bible school.
He loves his new friend/babysitter Genesis.
He loves to talk about anything and everything... All the time.

We are settling into some sort of rhythm, but we are not there yet. We're still experimenting with late afternoon meltdowns, Mama's patience, and balancing rest and keeping up with all the other things that demand attention.

Here's some pictures of Caleb & Abby for your enjoyment!
