Caleb turned 3!!

Caleb turned three on July 24th. When he turned 1, and even when he turned 2, it did not affect me as much as it did this time. I guess just having a three year old makes me realize that he's growing up fast!! We had his party at Trinity and invited a mixture of family and friends. We provided tacos and sides for dinner, and rounded out the party with cake. Each of the three kids made a shaker out of a plastic tube and some rice and beans. They decorated the outside with stickers and crayons.

And a great book, "1001 Things to Find on a Farm" (sort of like a Where's Waldo?)

We gave out recorders to all the kids before opening presents
and they were a hit!

We ended the party with a drum circle, courtesy of Eric, Uncle Bennett, and David Dittbrender. All the kids participated by shaking their shakers, playing their recorders, and banging on the drums. So much fun!
