Happy

These past 2 days have been great. Caden and I are having a good time and have been very happy- a relief from the hard times of teething this past week. Yesterday we had music class, which Caden loves. Then we invited Erica, Dale, and Jocelyn over for an impromptu dinner. Caden was perfect. He was fun. He was charming. Jocelyn, not quite a year old, was walking around.

This morning Caden had school at St. Teresa's. The teachers said that he had a great day. I'll try to scan in some of his artwork. Tonight we had dinner at the new neighbors' house- Myra, Joe and Amy (age 7). While there, 4 other neighbor girls came to play (ages 4-10). Caden had a wonderful time hanging out with the girls- not to mention their dog, Toby.

First post

I've never been much of a journaler or blogger, but with having family and friends spread out all over the country and the world (with Nate being in Kuwait), I thought it might be a fun way to share what's going on in our lives. Plus, I figured that I needed to join the 21st century at some point or another.

Well, let's start with today. Caden and I went to our first playgroup this morning with the MOMS group of Evans (they are an international organization catering to the stay-at-home moms of the world: www.momsclub.org) Caden was shy and very slow to warm up to the other kids, but we both had fun and I was able to meet some more moms in the area. This afternoon, Caden played with the neighborhood kids. Overall, it was a nice day.

Caden appears to be teething and all 4 canines are coming in at the same time! OUCH!!! The past few days he has seemed a little grumpier than usual and has even woken up in the middle of the night, which is very unusual and I'm assuming is due to teething pain. According to Caden though, popsicles help with the pain.
