Just an update on the last few days in our life! Nothing too exciting, but I just felt like posting.
Last Thursday, Jonah and I went with his preschool class to the Gainesville Zoo. And you know what - I forgot my camera so you can just imagine how cute he was looking at all the animals! We even got to ride a train and play at a gigantic playground. It was a great day altogether.
Jonah also had a fun day the other day with Daddy. Adam needed to mail something and Jonah wanted to ride his bike, so off they went riding their bikes to the post office. I figured I would see Adam halfway down the street carrying both the bike and Jonah, but about an hour later I see Jonah sprinting down the road. They had ridden 2 miles, and taken a few rests of course! But Jonah still had the energy to sprint home! Oh what I would give for that energy!
Caleb is also just blossoming (I guess a boy can blossom!). In the last month he has really stepped up the talking - we can understand about a 1/3 of it now, and the rest is Calebeze language. He definitely knows what he's saying and he has a lot to say too. He loves to give kisses and fives and he still loves to play ball. I think he's a little obsessed with balls myself, but it's really cute! At Wal-Mart I try to avoid the ball aisle altogether, because it becomes a very loud and passionate chorus of "BALL, BALL, BALL"! He's not very into eating fruit, I have to sneak it if I do give it to him, but he loves meat and cheese!! He'll even eat most vegetables as long as he's in the mood. He LOVES music and he'll break down dancing anywhere there's a tune. In fact in Applebee's last night he entertained the whole middle of the restaurant with a little jig! He's such a determined little man and I love to watch his little personality develop.
I went to my OB doctor yesterday, and everything is still looking great with the baby. I got to hear the heartbeat again - still 158. The baby kept kicking the little doppler scope because we could hear a little thud every so often. That's my kind of baby - feisty already! We get to hopefully find out the sex of the baby May 12th!
To sum it all up, we had a very small-town day yesterday. When we got home from picking up Jonah from preschool we noticed that the road workers were laying the asphalt on our road. For those of you who've ever visited us, you know that our road has been long past due for re-paving. So we sat out in our lawn chairs, the boys and me, and we ate popsicles. Caleb ate all his popsicle and then without missing a beat, immediately came and grabbed mine from my hand and ate it! We were covered in sticky from head to toe, all sitting there watching these big machines. It was definitely only something you'd enjoy if you live in a small town!!

Mandy, I love hearing all about you and your three guys. It sounds
like Caleb is really blossoming. And that Jonah has blossomed for sure. Like you said, "what energy!" It will be fun to find
out about the baby. Has Jonah
voiced a preference for a boy or girl? Needless to say, he and all of us will just be delighted to welcome that little one. I hear that Adam is doing really well with his training. I had no doubt about that. Hope you are feeling better and past the nausea stage. I love you and your guys.

I love small town life!!
Now, I would have thought Adam would have been carrying the bikes, too, since I took them on a walk and ended up with Jonah on my shoulders while pushing Caleb in his stroller. Tootsie is a pushover. Yea for Jonah! That little dumplin Caleb is so funny. I still laugh about when you answered the phone and he picked up the other one, saying, "Hello, Hello!" Then when I told him who it was and started talking to him, he got quite. Little stink, I wanted him to talk to Tootsie. There are precious joys in a small town that you cannot get in the city. Those times together eating your popcicle, even though yours was taken, are the treasures of life. Much love to you and all your guys.
