Caleb is here!!!

Caleb is here for the summer! We have been waiting and waiting for him to get here. He flew in last night with his Pop Pop from Georgia. He is 8 years old and just finished 2nd grade. They didn't get in until 9pm on Saturday so it was a long day waiting to see him. We talked about it all day so Tyler was pretty pumped up when we finally saw him.

This morning Caleb and his Pop Pop were up early. They are still getting adjusted to the time difference here. Hawaii is 6 hours behind Georgia so when they arrived last night it was actually 3am for them. We went out for breakfast at a cafe right on Pearl Harbor. We go there quite often for breakfast. It's so beautiful eating outside by the ocean!

After breakfast we went to the harbor right there and feed the fish. We used our leftover pancakes and toast. We just scrunch them into little balls and throw them in the water. The tropical fish just come and eat. It's just awesome. Of course, the kids just loved it!

I think we'll just hang out most of the day today. Tom is off all this week so he'll be taking Caleb, Pop Pop and Tyler around. They will probably go to the beach, snorkeling, around the island and to Pearl Harbor Memorial. They are also going to a Keiki(kids) fishing tournament on Friday! Caleb was in that tournament 2 summers ago and won his age category so he's pretty excited about going again.

My last day of work isn't until Friday so I'll just be with them in the evenings! Mike (Pop Pop) leaves next Saturday and Caleb will be here until the end of July, when Tom flies with him back to Georgia.

We bought Caleb a new bike for the summer and Tyler just got a little Fisher-Price 3 wheeler bike so they had fun riding those around. Even though they've only been together a day...you can sure tell that Tyler wants to do everything his big brother does. :)

As you can see in the pictures, Caleb has let his hair grow out. He says he's wanting to do it and some of his friends are doing it. That's kind of the thing with some of my kids at school. I'm not sure how much he'll love it when he's HOT in the sun on the beach and sand but...we'll see!!

We had Tyler to the doctor on Friday for some rashes he's had for about a week. He's been breaking out with red rashes, some raised and most not. We are wondering if it's a food allergy so the doctor had lab tests done to see if it's peanut butter. We should have the results back early next week. I'm not convinced it's peanut butter since he broke out today and he hasn't had peanut butter since Friday. It doesn't seem to bother him though...like itching or something.

Well, I'm going to add some pictures and go hang out with the boys!! I'm really outnumbered here!!

Have a wonderful week!!!
