Caleb's Day!

Caleb is 19 years old today and looking back I didn't think this day would ever come. He was 16 days over due!
Here is a little snap shot of who he is in my mind.
Happy Birthday Caleb!!




As a very little boy you would see Caleb off on his own thinking, and being "quiet". Even as a baby sitting on my lap not even able to crawl yet he would just be "quiet". When he was about 3 years old we went berry picking in the big open praires and he had wondered off.  There was Caleb sitting down all by himself being "quiet". What I would give to know what he was thinking when he was a baby, when he was 3 years old, and here in this picture 4 years ago.


Here are some more pictures of Caleb and what I love about him.



He is very exact. I think he needs to come gopher hunting with me!



                             He loves to get close to animals. There is something about Caleb when he gets close to an animal. He gets "quiet".



                          Circa 2007. Loves to play the guitar!



                              Circa 2008. Still loves to play the guitar!



                    Circa 2009. And STILL loves to play the guitar!
He also sings alot in his bedroom while playing the guitar which I really enjoy listening to when I am in my bedroom. One night while going to bed I fell asleep listening to him play the guitar and sing. I loved it.



                      He looks super looks great in a suit and tie!!



                                And he loves to Snowboard!


    I hope this year is a good one for you Caleb! There is alot out there to think about. Be "quiet" and listen.
                                                                    We love you!

Hi Marilou: I enjoyed your post about Caleb and the recent photos of him. I definitely remember his quiet side! Sometimes I really would have liked to know what he was thinking. I can still picture him and Trevor in the rocking chair just before you moved (the first time...age 3 or 4?) So cute!

Happy Birthday Caleb! Have a great time celebrating your 19th!

I really LOVE this post Lou Lou. You really showed us who Caleb is and what a neat boy he is. He has lots to offer. The pictures lent to a picture portrayal for sure. Happy Birthday Caleb. Love, Aunty LeeLee

The strong silent hunk - that is what he is growing up to be... you may have to beat the girls back Lou Lou - they love boys like our Caleb! There is a lot of wisdom in quiet and one day it will all spill out... I love his guitar playing too - that is embedded in my memory from our family reunion last year. Just love it that we can watch Caleb and Jake run a parallel journey in life, oh to be 19 again! Happy 19th year Caleb!
