back to 'normal'

it seems as if the sickness has passed from our house, and we're getting back to what passes as "normal." we're so thankful for friends who helped us out, and so sorry that we got at least some of them sick. it certainly has been going around. thanks also to all who prayed for us.

michelle is now 10 weeks pregnant and we're starting to believe that we're actually having another baby. maybe that's why I've got this nervous twitch on my nose? we must be crazy. Michelle had a severe bout with nausea, but that seems to be over, and so far she's doing better with that this time around.

in an effort to get out of the house, we went downtown for lunch today and took in some of the festivities involved with the new part of the aquarium opening. I'm looking forward to having a family membership sometime soon so we can go whenever we like. having grown up on the shores of FL, I'm quite a fish nut, and I hope the kids (plural! I'm still getting used to that) enjoy it as much as I do.

now that Caleb is done with sickness, he's been much happier. for the record, here's a rundown of his latest skilz: he can pull up to standing, he's a fast crawler, he loves eating cheerios (by himself), and he even listens when we tell him "no" when he goes after the dog food (sometimes). he loves riding on my shoulders, but he's not a big fan of being left in his room behind the baby gate. he loves to be on his feet, and we wont be surprised if he's walking within a couple months.

and here are some pics from this month
