Studying Hard

Keith is currently studying every extra second to prepare for his upcoming Tech Sgt. test. Last year he missed passing by only 14 points! Please keep him in your prayers as his test date draws near on March 28th. Thank you so much!

Recruiting

Life as an Air Force recruiter is busy but rewarding for Keith! The hours are still long and late but we manage to find family time together in the spare minutes. God has continued to bless Keith in the midst of such a challenging position. Most definitely the best part of his job has been preparing those who enlist for their military future. He has always been truthful with them and goes way "above and beyond" what is required when it comes to helping these young recruits be ready for basic training. Keith has received endless calls and letters of "thanks" from them both during and after they complete boot camp. It's nice to know that he is helping shape thier future in a positive way!

Our "Baby" is a Big Boy!!!

It happens overnight, they grow up right before our eyes but it still seems like just yesterday they were born...

Caleb turned 3 on December 8th, 2007. We had a fun Chuck E. Cheese party with some dear friends. We keep busy with church activites, playgroup's, outing's at our beautiful parks, library visit's and trips to see loved one's. Caleb has always been the best traveler and he enjoy's seeing new places so much.

Caleb is a fun-loving, energetic 3 year old! He loves to use his imagination, especially with his Thomas the Train track set. He has so much fun taking all the different trains on jobs. Some of his favorite toys include Larry Boy & Bob the Tomato from Veggie Tales. Buzz Lightyear and Woody have been a favorite for the past year along with anything Wiggle's. We got to see the "Wiggle's Live" show last August which was a huge highlight. We're planning on going to the Wiggly Playcenter in Texas soon for three stories of playtime fun with favorite characters. Most importantly, it will also be a treasured time to see Aunt Alice & Cousin Melissa!

This past year, Caleb learned all his letters by sound and sight, he can count to 20 and even know's how to spell words like "ball," "Mom," "Dad," and "Caleb." We do "school" together several times a week using the Abeka homeschooling curriculum. I am very excited for him to start preschool in the Fall so he can be around other kids and get the socialization aspect. The school is amazing and everything they learn and do is geared toward Kindergarten readiness.

Caleb's First Visit to the Dentist

"Show Me Those Pearly Whites!"

Caleb did very well for his first dental exam on March 6th. He let them "count his teeth" and do a complete polish as well. Everything looks great inside his mouth. Yea!!!
