Merry Christmas!!!

Well it has now been two months now, thought that you would all like an update since you are begging me to fill you in (if you havent...well I'm hurt).  Caleb is four months and four days today.  He is our little bunddle of composure, temperment, calm and fun.  He has the cuttest smile and the chubbiest little cheeks.  I am sure you have all seen the pics on Carolyn's facebook page.  He is up to 15 lbs. 7 oz. and 25 1/2 inches long and still growing.  It was funny what we discovered today.  Two months ago these pair of shoes we had were too big for him and so we put them away for a bit.  We got them out today to see if they fit and his foot would not even go inside the shoe.  Sad!  So he will never wear those shoes.  Hopefully our next boy will be able to try them on and have them fit.  His cry is getting stronger but you dont hear it that often, only if he is really hungry, scared or really tired but doesnt want to fall asleep.  He is doing great and is almost ready for some solid food, just not yet.  We did see if he wanted some water but it touched his lips then fell onto his clothes.  We'll work on that, slowly.

As for Ginger, still hyper and wanting to play all the time with out breaks.  Well maybe some breaks here and there.  She is so excited to see me get home and whines for a half hour before I get home.  She knows I am coming because I call Carolyn as I am leaving work and she hurries and runs to the window to see me arrive.  She will wait most of the time by the window.  She is just a cute puppy still.

Carolyn will be starting school up again the first part of January.  She will be doing full time yet most of her classes are here in Lehi.  So she doesnt have to drive through all of that construction everyday of the week.  She is nervous but I have full confidence in her that she will do just fine.  I will be there to help her in any way possible: cook, clean, baby-sit, homework, etc.  She is going to get a bachelors degree in computer science which will take four years or so.  The best part of it all, the navy is paying for all of it!!!

Now for me, well not much to say.  It is funny, it is easier to say what is going on in other people's live than it is to tell about your own.  At least it is for me.  I still work at Hartley's, still play with my boy, my dog and court my wife.  Still play some basketball for the ward, still wild when I do so.  Still watch movies, still play my computer, wii, xbox, and xbox 360 games.  Still go to church and still LOVE Christmas.  What a wonderful time.  I wish people could be this way all year round.  Dont know why they can't.  Still I will try to do so.  I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and remember what the true meaning is all about.  It feels good to be one of the helpers of Santa this year.  So Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

P.S.  I dont mean to brag or anything but I just wanted to document this occasion.  As of the end of this month Carolyn and I will be debt free.  Now we will be saving up to buy a house and get back into debt for the rest of our lives.  Hopefully we will be in one by this time next year so we can start our own Holiday Traditions.  See ya
