Go Mustangs!

One of my favorite things about teaching for a local high school is going to the football games on Friday nights. Ethan loves to go. He hangs out with all the kids his age and plays football on the sidelines and watches the real game on the field. There are at least 10 kids his age whose parents are teachers at Walker Valley. They all go to the same elementary. They are a tight knit group. I know that over the years, they will become a terror to the teachers and administrators because they already think they rule the school.

Tyler met a new friend at the game Friday night. My good friend, Donna, brought her granddaughter to the game. Her name is Haley and she is adorable. She and Tyler were two peas in a pod. They shook their pom poms and shouted "Go Mustangs!" Tyler had to give her a hug at the end of the night. He can't wait til the next home game!

Labor Day in South Carolina



We have now been in school for a month, so it was nice to get a break. We headed over to South Carolina to visit Chris' family. We had a great weekend. Tyler was so excited to get the chance to ride papa's horses. He had to ride three different horses. The boys had a great time seeing their cousins. They played really well together. It was so nice to meet the boys new cousins, David, Cheyenne, and Dustin. Chris' sister, Kelly, and her husband adopted three beautiful children. They are so wonderful! They are such a blessing and a great addition to the Caldwell family. I look forward to the many years our children will have together.

Ethan did great riding the horse on his own. He was not nervous at all and did a great job directing the horse.

Uncle Jamie took Ethan fishing. He caught the biggest fish!

Finally...

Ethan finally lost his first tooth. We were beginning to think that he would never lose a tooth. He was the last kid in his class, but it finally happened. He now has another loose tooth.
