Abbie's Visit!!

Abbie came to visit last week and we were all sick. Blah! Caleb doesn't look especially happy in these pics, but he did have fun with her!




Now he's back to his normal self! Sorry for the nasty crusties on his nose...gross.


Trying to crawl...

Nope, not gonna happen...

Caleb's 9 month Portraits

Here's his 9 month pix I just picked up. I personally was not very impressed with JCPenney's photography, but I had a coupon. =) . I have one extra 5x7 of most of the poses if anyone is interested. If enough people agree on a pose and want a smaller print (4x6 or wallets), we could make an order on www.jcpportraits.com and split the prints. Each 8x10 sheet is $9.99 but you can get 2 5x7's, 4 4x6's or 8 wallets instead of one 8x10.
To place an order you will need:
Name: emily gorab
Portrait #: LTPP0100117228JCP
For Album#: 2009-01-23 13:10

My Favorite!





Brandon's blanket when he was a baby...seriously was this the best the photographer could do? At least C is so cute!

Remembering Sara

So I know this is a blog about Caleb, but I thought I'd share some pictures of my sisters when we were kids (Abbie and Sara).

Sara Nicole McGaha
April 29, 1981-January 23, 2000

We had some stylin' glasses, Halloween in Monterey, CA 1992

Christmas 1985 in Virginia Beach

Sara graduates K5 and I had the chickenpox

Diane visits us in VA 1986

Sara and I played basketball at our church FunSports. I only made one shot the whole time and it was a granny-shot...they gave out awards at the end of the season and I got "The Most Spirited Award"

Us at Sara's highschool graduation,1999. I was not wearing a bowtie to set a new trend...I was in band..

Christmas 1999 at Grandma and Grandpa's house in Oklahoma

Christmas 1999, Sara was so excited she got "The Little Mermaid"

9 month pictures and delayed xmas photo!

At his 9 months check-up, Caleb was 24 lbs 11 oz and 29 inches or 32 inches (yes, i just said that. The nurse got two different measurements because his hair is poofy...not sure his real height, but I know he was 29 inches at 6 months and DEFINATELY has grown since!)

Jolly Jumper and Jacket Strings

Playing with Great-Aunt Diane's jacket strings.

Baby Burrito

Caleb grabbed the end of his blanket and started rolling himself into a little burrito.



His top tooth finally came in! Apparently, the flash from the camera is hilarious.



I just added another post yesterday of our Leavenworth trip, keep scrolling down or click "older posts"

Leavenworth, Washington

The best Christmas present is SNOW!!!





Our cabin...anyone who lives in Washington needs to make a point to go to Leavenworth before they move. Go to www.destinationleavenworth.com to find other cabin/hotel options.



The bakery decorated their Christmas tree with pretzels and someone actually took a bite out of one.
