Car Talk

Just scooting along!

Cale and I headed to Fredericton this weekend for a mini vacation. Alan is touring in Saskatchewan and I had just finished up a really busy week at work, so we decided a road trip was in order. I'm not sure how most 3 year olds handle 4.5 hour drives, but Cale is turning into a great little travel companion. We chat non-stop about his current favorite topics - cars, machines and radio djs. He pointed out and named every large truck, tractor or machine we passed - 'Look mom - a big rig!', or my favorite quote, as we were passing a construction site 'I saw a builder with his head down.  He must have been looking at the building plans'. Amazing. He also asked questions about every single button or gauge in the car. He now knows what everything in the dashboard is and exactly how it works. My favorite game this trip was the radio request game. I would use my imaginary phone to call the radio station and make a request. DJ Caleb would answer and sing my song, unless of course, he was busy and he'd answer by saying 'Sorry, the radio dj is not here right now. Please leave a message after the beep - Beeeeeeep!'.

The countdown is officially on - only 3 more weeks until we move into our new house!! It is on Prospect Road, just outside of Halifax, on the loop to Peggy's Cove. It is a beautiful 3 bedroom house, with an amazing studio that will soon be Alan's music space. The best part of all - it is on the coast with an amazing ocean view. This will be Caleb's 4th house, and all of them have been on the ocean. I'm so happy that 'Caleb's Coastal Life' will continue and that we will finally have a place to call our very own!
