Our latest purchase: 2001 Chrysler Town and Country Limited Edition

Well, we finally did it. We've been talking about it for awhile, researching it even longer, and we finally followed through and got a minivan. We bought a 2001 Chrysler Town and Country Limited Edition with 50,000 miles on it! It's really pretty and very convienent. I really enjoy being able to push a button to open the door while I'm carrying Callie.

Callie likes her new ride as well. We have a lot of fun together! Hopefully, we'll be able to take many family car trips for years to come. :)

Callie is continuing to surprise me with how much she knows and communicates. The other day, we were in Old Navy and she went up and barked at the dog mannequin and petted his head. It was so cute!

Callie and I have been taking a lot of walks together, whenever we have errands to run in town and just for fun sometimes! Philip joins us occassionally, because he's had to take a break from his marathon training because the doctor suspects he has a stress fracture in his foot. Hopefully, he'll be mended soon and back to training for his big day.

Other than that, we keep busy during the day. We play a lot and visit Granny Great and Grammy some days. Philip is still enjoying his job, he just took a trip to Chicago May and is due to take a trip to Washington in July. We always seems to keep busy with one thing or another!

Hope everyone is having a great week! God bless!

Heather and Philip,
Callie is so precious. I love how her hair is starting to curl at the ends. She is starting to look like a little girl now and less like a baby, but even cuter if that is possible. I am happy that you guys got the minivan. I am hoping for one someday. We really miss you guys! Keep putting up pictures when you can! I love seeing how much Callie is changing and growing.
Love,
Sarah, Kevin, and Camden

Sunday Morning

Yesterday, Callie came into my room while I was finishing up getting ready for church by putting on my jewelry. Callie: Mommy, you're very pretty. Me: Callie, that's very sweet. Thank you! Callie: You're welcome. Daddy's pretty too! Me: Oh Callie, you need to go tell him that . . . :)

Meanwhile, back at the Farm . . .

We're having some exciting happenings around the Booker Farm so I thought I'd write a little bit about what's going on with the kiddos. Callie Callie is so excited that we now have two dogs and three cats. Their names are (dogs) Belle and Ariel, (cats) Duchess, Dixie, and Thomas O'Malley -- Tom for short. She is very excited to be wrapping up another school year and looking forward to our travels this summer. She is taking on more responsibility around the house (which I love) and doing an excellent job for the most part in taking care of all the animals. I'm certainly enjoying watching her grow and blossom in so many ways, but this is especially significant to me. Philip and I are really striving to raise our children to be responsible, caring, and kind adults! I'm now teaching her on Wednesday Night Bible Class and I love observing her for the first time in a classroom setting as her teacher as well. She is a delight to have in class, if I may s...

Sometimes it's hard . . .

I feel like I've finally awoken from a long, chaotic dream. The past couple of weeks have gone so much more smoothly. The first 3 (or so) months with a new baby just throws my world upside down and inside out. While I'm in it, I find it hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel --  that time when we all adapt to each other and find our new routine. I'm not saying I don't love it, because I do. I just don't love all of it! So I'll do a quick little catch up, write Nolan's birth story in another post and we'll be back on track. For a little bit at least. I think I've said before that I love writing. I mean love it. But for some reason, I've never been good at keeping a journal. I really want to. There are so many moments I want to make sure I write down and remember and I want to be good at keeping track of everything. But over and over again I prove it's just not something that I'm consistent with. It irritates me to the point th...
