Happy 4th Birthday Caleb!!!

It is so hard to believe that our sweet Caleb is already 4 years old. It literally seems like yesterday when we brought him home from the hospital to start our new lives together. Now, 4 years later Caleb is such a joy in our lives and has brought sooooo much laughter and fun to our days! He is such a great big brother to Kathryn and she wants to be just like him~ and tries all the time. We are so proud of him and the boy that he is becoming. We love him more than words can say and we look forward to what God has in store for his 4th year!
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
We celebrated his 4th birthday this past Saturday afternoon. We invited family and some close friends over for an outer space party which was out of this world! Caleb wanted to have a "Space Buddies" themed party. His new favorite movie is the Disney movie Space Buddies, so he was set on having a party all about the cute little puppies that star in the movie. I tried and tried to find party ideas with the Space Buddies theme, but had no luck. So, we decided to just do a plain "space" themed party with some of the Space buddies thrown in to the decorations and party favors. We decorated the den with an inflated solar system and space ships, I made a space ship cake with the Space Buddies peeking through the windows, we had a jump house which we named the "Moon Walk", we played a game where the children had to find moon rocks hidden around the yard and we had lots and lots of fun! Caleb had a blast and was so fun to watch. His favorite part of the party had to have been when he got to open his presents. He must have asked 50 times when he could start opening. He had to wait until his little friends all had some time to play and jump, so he was very patient. But when he was given the go ahead to open, he tore into them. He got lots and lots of great presents and was thrilled about everything. I know he really had a special day!
