f.a.m.i.l.y.

f.a.m.i.l.y. this is what caleb spelled out to me tonight. he's getting to be a good little speller. the other day, he said, "wait mom, i have a surprise for you!" and made me close my eyes as he led me into the kitchen. this is what i got to see:

(ben also wants to me to have you make note of the "666" up in the top right corner. always focusing on the positive.)

that is him with his first & middle name spelled out. except he's blocking his middle name, "john" but it's there. awesome picture of him by the way. after i saw him like that, he got a haircut the next day. but he loves to spell. he knows all of the phonetics of the letters so we work on words all the time. and he's reading certain words without any help. he does simple addition & subtraction problems.

okay i will stop...

...and he knows the square root of pi. and he can ride a unicycle while juggling at the same time. and he was just honored with a nobel peace prize.

here are some f.a.m.i.l.y. pictures from 2 days ago. me with my new haircut. chippity chop! 6 1/2 inches gonzo. feels nice. and back to blonde. i loved being a brunette, but it faded quickly and i don't have the wallet to keep it up. so...back to blonde me. sigh.



two guesses as to who took this last picture. yep, our nobel peace prize winner.

i love our little f.a.m.i.l.y.
