As twenty days are now.

Good to be Home 
What a cutie he is so photogetic!
I love the last photo — he certainly is a cutie but there’s something about that blond “whispy” hair and those cute little ears and chubby arms!!
Absolutely Adorable!
Love the bright new background Shan!
What is the stone thing Caleb is climbing on?
I think my favorite was the picture with his hands up..all the quotes fit so well, I enjoyed being reunited with them, that first one is wonderful!
Your golden boy! When I 1st met you he was still a baby, now with summer he’s became a precious little boy…he looks so huggable, does he like to be held or is he all energy?The 1st photo you can see the youngman he will become one day!The photo with the toy makes me want to kiss his foreheadand all the others just made me smile I recently learned a new trick with my DSLR.In the menu, see if there is an area where you can adjust the flash.If you dial it down a few stops, it will fill in the shadowns but notwash out the model
I love that last pic…something about sweet, soft, baby hair, makes me want to reach out and rub his little head….sweet, they grow up so fast~
So cute!
Wonderful quote and pics.
I meant to write “quotes”
Oh yes, the hair. I love that wispy hair. I love to rub that fine baby hair on anybody’s baby, but especially mine. 🙂 I love the one of him sitting on the tree root. He’s so boyishly happy in that one.
soo cute! my two year old is sitting here in my lap and when he saw these he yelled out “That’s me Mommy!” haha… I think he realized he likes to do the same things he saw in these shots~ such a fun little guy you have and wonderful smile~blessings to you this day
Aren’t children singing the most cutest thing? My two children are about the same age as Caleb and they have just started that stage of singing. I love it!!
what a doll :o) I’m happy for you that you are getting all the enjoyment you possibly can out of these baby years…….
P.S. I love your background……very nostalgic :o)
I bet he had a fun time with his momma!
Back and front, Caleb James is adorable. What eyes!
Shanda, how did you get Caleb to pose for all those pictures? I can’t get Cole to be still for a second, unless he’s eating! 🙂 I love all these pics. He is getting so big. Little Caleb is so cute. Hope you are doing good!!
Beautiful There’s nothing like a cute little child to enhance even the most artful photos eh.
I love this post Shan. See you for VBS???
You’ll cherish these shots forever — and so will Caleb. What a little cutie!
He is such a cutie pie. Take lots of pictures, because before you know it they are all grown. My is 18 already, it feels like just yesterday she was only 7. :o)
Kelly

I just caught up on your last few posts. Great pictures!

God Bless!!!
Benjamin
P.S. I would apperciate it if you will drop an comment on my site anytime!!!
Don’t you love that last one ~ I just want to run my hands over his downy head ~
Sweet, sweet, sweet! Ahhhh. **sigh** (Can you tell my baby is 6 now…now sweet toddlers here anymore…)
Love the last one….wispy golden hair…sweet.
I think I’m in love! Who cares about the age difference? My youngest grandson is almost five now and my arms are beginning to feel empty. In a few years he won’t have time for his Granny.
Thank you so much for sharing your darling children….they are more beautiful than the flowers….that backdrop is definitely appropriate for them!! My youngest, David (snogerfergany), wants to be adopted by your family…he thinks it all looks so fun. He misses his grown up big brothers -you saw their weddings this year on my sis (broncomoms site). He also thinks your backyard is sooooo fun. Keep enjoying these years and the precious times with your young ones. I have been reading “The Mom walk” by Sally Clarkson and recommend it! Lord bless, Jenny
What a cutie pie, you have to love those adorable red shorts! Too cute! Love your quote at the end Shanda, “..praise more than correct.” Yes. You won’t be sorry : ) Blessings, ~Amelia
