Happy 7th Birthday, Caleb!



Alex, Abraham, Isaac, Caleb, Steven, Seth, Michael & Ryan (L-R)

Caleb's birthday was on August 11th, but yesterday was his party with his buddies. When I asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday he said "I think I should ask Ryan and Seth to go to the races with me, "because they really like cars". It amazes me how God has softened Caleb's heart and molded him into such a caring and accepting little boy. Ryan and Seth are both boys with special needs. Ryan was in his kindergarten class and Seth is our babysitter's son. So, we took his idea, and added a few more boys...5 to be exact (Michael, Abraham, Steven, Alex and Isaac) and had a race car party. The boys met at our house for pizza and cake before we headed off to Wisconsin International Raceway to see the races. They had a blast....true "boy fun"!

Two cakes...one with egg and one without, so Seth could have cake, too! (I'm getting a little better at my cakes Diane...ha-ha!)

Starting last year, we decided that the boys should pick a charity of some sort to have their friends donate to, instead of bringing presents. Last year their friends brought books to donate to their new school library. This year, Caleb wanted to donate to The Humane Society. He had so much fun opening all of the "animal gifts". We delivered them to the Humane Society this afternoon. Then we got to spend some time checking out all of the animals!
