tidbits.

we are now only a week away from christmas. we may take caleb to see santa today after his nap. i am thinking that won't end well, but as a wise woman once told me, "you have to take caleb to see santa ... it's just what people do."

less than a week until caleb boards his first plane to take his first flight. i am going to resist the urge to apologize to the other passengers in advance if he cries the whole way. but who knows? he just may love it.

i tried on a pair of pre-pregnancy jeans just for fun the other day. and they fit! but they are the only pre-preggo jeans that fit me right now. nonetheless. i am happy to have them back in the rotation.

i have yet to wrap our gifts or finish my shopping or bake anything. yet i find time to blog.

caleb has had a new teacher in the mornings at day care, and for the very first time, he cried when i dropped him off. so i said goodbye and left and heard his cries all the way down the hall as i was walking out. i considered running back, scooping him up and telling him we'd both take the day off. but i kept walking. and he was okay.

the above picture is one of many taken by jocelyn k brown to document nine sweet months of caleb. isn't he cute? more where those came from, but thought i'd give you a sneak peek.

last week i thought about the fact that caleb is almost one year old. and i got teary-eyed, but wasn't sure if they were happy or sad tears.

my sweet and talented sister designed our christmas cards. without me even asking her to. she just knew i was late in doing them and told me that she had played around with some of our pictures and i said YES, PLEASE, i trust you . . . please do our cards! so i haven't even seen them yet. but she is amazing so i know they'll be perfect.

saturday mornings make me feel grateful. nothing is better than lounging in my pjs with my boys and soaking up every sweet moment.
