This year marked the sixth annual "Porch Reunion." This college get-together is always anticipated and filled with fun. This year was no exception...the location of this years' festivities was Bloomington, IN. We stayed in a cabin and enjoyed the finner things in life. Here are some pictures of the reunion.

We took the boys to the County Fair on Monday night!! It was so much fun! Caleb was able to see the goats, pigs, cows, and even a [drum roll please] fire truck!!

Caleb woke up this morning and said, "Dad work bike." Although this may not sound very profound...it was brilliant for Caleb. He was telling me that Dad rode to work on his bike [which is what he does everyday in the summer]. Such a cutie!!

Love you!

Such a sweet sweet baby boy!!

Mark 10:13 "The people brought children to Jesus, hoping he might touch them. The disciples shooed them off. But Jesus was irate and let them know it: "Don't push these children away. Don't ever get between them and me. These children are at the very center of life in the kingdom. Mark this: Unless you accept God's kingdom in the simplicity of a child, you'll never get in." Then, gathering the children up in his arms, he laid his hands of blessing on them."

Slam dunk!

Taflinger Happenings....

Caleb has been dealing with a nasty rash that we initially thought was poison ivy. I took him to the doctor on Monday and she reported that it wasn't poison ivy but was unsure of the cause. She prescribed a generic antihistamine to cure the rash but neglected to inform me of the 'drowsiness' effects. As a result, Caleb took a 6 hour afternoon nap!! Needless to say, we give him his medication at night now and the rash is looking much better- thank the Lord!

Micah is defiantly a man on the move, still shuffling around the house but not completely crawling. It could be any day now...

Yesterday I went up to get Caleb after his nap only to discover that my child bit a hole in his crib. Yes, that's right he gnawed a hole in his wooden crib. This does not surprise me considering he has been using it as an over-sized teething biscuit for months now. So Travis and I decided to drench his crib with vinegar last night in a feeble attempt to detour his biting. To our dismay the vinegar taste/smell did not linger and he was at it again today- ANY SUGGESTIONS??

Love you

Grandparents 60th Anniverary!

Last weekend I travelled home for my Grandparents 60th Wedding Anniversary!! I was only able to attend a portion of the festivities because I also had a wedding that weekend. However, I was so blessed to be apart of their big day! It is amazing to think that they have been faithful and devoted to their partner for 60 years...such a rarity these days! Thank you for your example Grandma and Gramps, we love you so much!
My sisters and I with our grandparents!

Gone are the days...

Gone are the days of being able to leave Micah on the floor while I tend to Caleb's dirty diaper..Micah is currently on all fours jumping or lunging forward as he strives to reach for bubby's toys!!! He can travel across the room in a matter of moments...my job as a mother just got harder :) He is two months early in this developmental milestone as compared to his older brother. However, I feel that this may be the first of many 'early' milestones as he attempts to keep up with Caleb!
