We took a trip to San Diego and went to Sea World with our friends the Moss's. Taeden's favorite part was the play place and the birds he saw wandering around. go figure.
Our trip happened to fall on our 4th anniversary. We celebrated with a date last night. I am so so so more than thankful for my wonderful husband. He is the best!
The Moss and Wolf boys. Taeden LOVES his little friend Chase and asks for him constantly.
Macalan is in love with the pool. He pretty much has this expression on his face at all times. yep, he is still angel baby.
this was fathers day. we had so much fun celebrating the best dad on the planet and showing him how much we love him!
a trip to the LA zoo. taeden loves it more than anything.
taeden now loves to pray. it is kind of the cutest thing EVER!
one of my best friends from high school came to visit with her daughter norah. the boys loved her and taeden keeps asking for "dora." it is pretty cute.
macalans future wife??? :)
my happy boy at 8 months.Macalan saw a specialist last week for his blood diesease. It is a weird thing because he has been great and his health has continued to be great, but he warned us that it can creep up at any point and make him pretty sick. He gave us good pointers on what to watch for and how to prevent any further damage to his spleen. We felt really confident that we are prepared to care for it a little better. He continues to have a great disposition and all three of us adore him (yes, taeden still loves him immensley and macalan lights up the second he hears taedens voice).
And now for the biggest news of all...
We are moving! I am still getting used to the idea myself and my eyes were swollen from crying for about a week straight, but we really do feel that it is the best thing for our family at this time. We are moving to the western suburbs of chicago (about 40 miles from the city) at the beginning of Sept. so that brandon can join his brothers who both work for a food distribution company that his dad owns. This California girl is not going to know what hit her come winter, but I am a little bit excited about the prospects of actual seasons! I am pretty devestated to be moving so far away from my parents and the rest of my family, but I know that we will do whatever we have to to make sure that we still see them a good amount! I am praying so hard that kersten and clint will move to indiana (they go out there next weekend one last time and will make their minds up then) because if so, they will be less than 4 hours away and who knows maybe we can get my parents and brother out there eventually! I am trying hard to trust in the Lord and know that God will use this to stretch me greatly and hope that I will allow Him to do just that! You can be praying for that as well! So thats the big news and now my hands and mind are just plain tired from all this blogging..so it will probably be at least a week until you hear from me again:)

Wow Caitlin, that is HUGE news! I'm excited for you guys. Seasons are so fun, especially for kids. You will make it thru the winters you have to mentally prepare yourself more than anything - well, and buy a cute winter wardrobe, and remember that after the snow comes spring - you will appreciate that more than ever before.
I will be praying for you and hope that Kersten moves that close too, that would be so great!!
All those pictures were so cute, but the one of Taeden praying definetly takes the cake. Chicago, wow, what a fun adventure!
Caitlin, this is HUGE!!! I wish you could tell me more. I was just thinking of contacting you to see if we could run together. I know God will provide all that you need in Chicago, and the ultimate blessing is that you can trust Him with all things.
