So too many irons in the fire, so it has been too long since the last post and this one is a short one, but just incase you have been living under a rock, we are having a BABY in March 2011!
We found out last week that it is a BOY and are really excited. If I’ve been too busy to post in the last few months, I can’t imagine how busy I’ll be after March! We’ll see!
The FEET!
A not so great, but still cool 4D photo.

UP is Caden’s favorite (this week, ha!) Pixar/Disney movie.
Here is photo from the movie when Carl, the main character, was a boy. Carl is on the right; notice the hat.
Last night, Caden while we were cooking supper, Caden appeared from his room with the following hat on! Jennifer said she has NO idea where he got the hat from! It is his hat,but she didn’t know where he had found it.
One more for good measure…
Earlier in the day, when I got back from working at our church’s soup kitchen he was watching UP (before his nap–he finished it after his nap). Here was the picture of him watching the movie before the nap.

Last night, Caden and I were playing with his new baseball and bat he had won from the Louisiana Tech’s F.U.N.N. day on Saturday. I was hitting the ball and he was running to retrieve it. Â What a great way to tire him out at then end of the day.
Spring brings lots of little flowers in our backyard that I can’t mow down fast enough and since I hadn’t mowed in a couple of weeks they are everywhere.
After one of my hits, Caden runs full speed towards the ball, then stops only a few feet from the ball, bends down and starts picking flowers. Â He had found the white dandelions and lost his focus of what he was going for, which made us laugh.
When this happens, we say “Squirrel!” (from the movie Up!) Â I’ve been known to pick a flower or two or stare at the clouds while in Center field during T-ball and Pee-wee, so Caden comes by it honestly! ha! ha!
