On Monday, Erik's classes began, officially starting his last year of seminary. His course schedule will be challenging, but it still allows lots of quality time at home with Caleb. Particularly, on Wednesdays Courtney works from 8-4, so Caleb and Erik get that extended stretch of time together to hang out and have fun!
This Wednesday, while playing in the family room, Caleb suddenly got really interested in his little red chair. It didn't take long for him to "figure it out" and enjoy some quality loungin'.







Once well-rested, Erik decided that it was time to get Caleb pumped up and ready for the football season by practicing a few plays and running some drills. Caleb had a solid performance: two fumble recoveries with his teeth, three solo Daddy-tackles, and multiple drool stains. Young Strom has said he's eager to get his second season of football started. Go Bears!









Here is Caleb with Skylar and Brixton at the family picnic on Sunday. My mom has the huge group picture on her camera, so I need to wait to get that from her. We had a great time except on Sunday afternoon, just before Brooke, Caleb and I were going to get on the plane to come home...Caleb had the runs! Thankfully he held off while we were on the plane!
