Kaleb is 4 years old today!

Happy Birthday to our little boy!! We had a great time with all of the grandparents and cousin Jane. It was a cold day for a cook out, but we had burger's from the grill and some yummy cake and ice cream. Daddy made the cake. :) Kaleb got all kind of great gifts. A new big boy bike, some soccer gear, legos' a zoo pass and a kids digital camera. He was excited about it all and loved being the star of the day! Happy Birthday little man, we love you so much!






It was not a nice day for riding outside, but Kaleb took a few laps around the table with his new bike.

Sharing with cousing Jane, for the most part. She put everything in her mouth and he thought that was gross. So funny that it was really not to long ago that he was doing the same thing. :)

Where have the last 4 years gone...

It's hard to imaging that 4 years have gone by so fast. We met Kaleb's birth mom, Tracy just days before he was born and our adventure into parenting began. Kaleb was born at the Ionia Hospital Tues. March 29th 2005. We brought him home Friday April 1st and on Feb 1st 2006 the adoption became official. Kaleb has been our dream come true. He is a wonderful child full of energy and enthusiasm. He is interested in figuring out how and why things work and he keeps us on our toes. We LOVE him so much and are so proud of the little boy he has become. Every year brings new challenges and experiences. We love you Kaleb Sutter, our dear little boy! or
"Sweet Prince" as your daddy likes to say.

Welcome to the world little Kaleb

New baby coming... here's the room

Outside with friends

We are sure hoping that this was our last snowy play day. As much fun as the kids had playing in the snow and sledding, we are all kind of getting over the cold. Spring is near and that means more outside fun. It was a great day for Kaleb to spend so time with his neighborhood pals, Levi and Lainy. Good friends, good times!

Tony was a trooper pulling all of the kids back and forth down the street.

Ice skating

We took Kaleb to Rosa Parks Circle for his first ice skating experience. It was a little hard to get used to skates and the ice, but the metal structure helped him a lot. It's been a while for Tony and I too and we were all a little soar afterwards from using muscles we have not used in a while. We are loving sharing all of these firsts with Kaleb!

Our New Friend Brooke

We have be match with a new birth mom, Brooke. She is a wonderful person and we are very excited about the upcoming arival of baby "Dylan" in early May. We will keep you posted as things get closer. Please keep our family and Brooke in your prayers.
