Suddenly sentences and snow!

I first noticed it last Monday when we were playing outside. Caleb had been blowing bubbles and it appeared that his container had run out of liquid. A few weeks ago he would have said, "All don!" but instead that day he said,

"Mom-me, bub-huls all don!"
Next time I heard it was Tuesday morning in the kitchen. He woke up late, barely making it out of his room before Ian left, and in his sleepy state he looked up at me and said, "Hougjh you me Mom-me!" (instead of just "Hougjh you!") Ian looked at me and said, "You know what this means, right? Here come the sentences..."
And it has been true. Since then he is using three, four, and five words where before just two would have done. The toddler mind is an amazing thing!!!

I guess my regular readers have noticed my absence. I really meant to post Thursday before we headed out on our family "mini-cation," but you know how packing with toddlers can go...
Here is a teaser of our destination...
Okay, not really! Kylie was watching Kai-Lan while Caleb finished his nap ~ while I packed and it was the episode where it snows. Kylie decided that she had to get ready to play in the snow with Kai-Lan. As I said, the toddler mind is an amazing thing!

I took a mere 455 pictures while we were gone. (It was Caleb's first time at our location after all!) I left my computer at home and while that provided me with no pressure to blog while we were gone, it did prevent me from being able to upload my pictures and begin to cull them out. I've got one heck of a job ahead of me! Back soon...

I can't wait to see what a post of 455 pictures looks like...impressive undertaking. Seriously, I'm totally curious now!

I hope you had a great Mother's Day!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!Obviously, it took me FOREVER to whittle your visit here down to 171. I envy you not. However, you will notice that I am STILL wading through dozens and dozens of pictures from Disney and D.C. and our reunion. So I guess I better stop my trash talkin...

Oh, by the way, cute kids. Have I mentioned that before? And PUL-LEASE check out my little mega-post. I really was wondering if you fell off the face of the earth!

That is a lot of post (455). I guess you have your work cut out. Can't wait to hear where you went.

Awe I wish we could get to hear him making sentences. It is so sad to miss so much of getting to know him.

PS Love Kylie's outfit.
