Caleb and I had the whole day to ourselves today. Brayden went with his Aunt Meghan (or Aunt Gigi as he lovingly refers to her) to the desert where Mimi and Baba (Corbin's parents) were camping and riding quads and dirt bikes.
After Caleb so kindly took a 2 hour nap in the morning, allowing me to get some chores done, we headed out to see the world. Ok, we weren't that ambitious. However, we did manage to make a few stops...including Hobby Lobby and Old Navy to exchange some onesies. The most important stop was documented in the picture below.
I had not taken Caleb with me to visit my mom's grave until today. Although I know she is with us always, I felt it was important to take him there and spend some time. He was in his usual smiley mood, and as we sat in the grass together I felt they had a chance to make a connection.
My mom had found out we were pregnant with Caleb just a few days before she passed away. I am forever grateful that I had the chance to see the joy on her face as she became a grandmother of 2. I am saddened by the reality that he will never know her personally, but am proud that his name, Caleb Jude, will forever be a reminder of a woman who loved her family more than anything in the world.

I'm so sorry your mom passed away. David's mom also passed while I was pregnant with Jade and it's always come into my mind that she's the first one to meet my sweet babies.
Very sweet and touching. I'm sure she was so happy to see him!
