Some of you visiting this site have never met Caleb, some of you met him before he could speak or before he spoke this much so here's a couple of clips of him talking. The video quality is not the greatest since my goal was mainly to record his voice, but until I come up with a better method this what you get. The video with the cars is very deserving of a visual aide so I guess this will do for now. Saying Our Names: Caleb's teacher at Montessori school, Ms. Brit taught him how to clearly say … [Read more...]

The MeddersNation has hit the new year feet first people and I have not had time to get these photos online, it's the downside to having a basic Internet Service Provider and the new camera makes some large files that take longer to upload. Sure, I know I could resize the files, but that takes more time! Aimee is back in school and has her hands full with classes 5 days a week. Caleb started a new school called Montessori and is learning lots, like we live on Earth or erf as he calls … [Read more...]

December Update: Yes, We’re Still Alive!

Exposure and Highlights

It's been a busy time for me lately; at work, school, and church activities so I'm sorry it's been a while since my last post. The Medders Nation is doing very well just so you know. Aimee finished her school semester maintaining a 4.0 GPA, and Caleb is talking and running around faster than we can keep up sometimes. We had a nice get together with Aimee's family for Thanksgiving at John and Beth's house where Caleb got to play with a bunch of his cousins. On a sad note, the other day I … [Read more...]

Trip to Red River Gorge

Trail Walking

Last week was filled with excitement as we prepared for our trip to Red River Gorge on Friday. Aimee and I texted back and forth throughout the week about how quickly our trip was coming up and that we couldn't wait to get away for a bit. I had Friday off, thanks to all you Veterans out there, so we headed out the door shortly after Aimee made it home from her morning class. The drive was a little over 2 hours and Caleb was a happy traveler like always. We stopped for some lunch and then got … [Read more...]

Caleb plays with leaves

A little over a week ago I took Caleb to stride the trails Daddy rides his mountain bike on with his buddies and below are some pictures and video of his experience. Caleb had a very fun time and I enjoyed watching him climb and coast the hills as well as break for a snack and investigate a stream. We arrived at the parking lot. Helmet... Check, Strider Prebike... Check, Excited Strider Rider... Check! We headed down the trail which migrates from a gravel top to dirt with a few sturdy wooden … [Read more...]

Halloween is coming to a close for the MeddersNation, but I have to say we had a wonderful time and it was exciting to watch Caleb pridefully glide around on his Strider balance bike in his Evel Knievel costume that Aimee and I had the pleasure of putting together. Festivities officially started on the 16th when we went to Bernheim Forest for Colorfest with the FirquinNation and then a little over a week ago Caleb visited a farm down the road from our house called Wooden Farms to pick out … [Read more...]

Caleb tried to pick up all the pumpkins

Yesterday the Medders Nation made a trip to Bernheim Forest with the Firquin Nation for a little fun at the annual Colorfest event. Everyone had a great time and the weather was perfect! Bernheim Forest is nearby and has a beautiful natural view of the great outdoors everywhere you turn. There were plenty of events for the kids; like the music station where kids got to bang on drums as well as homemade wood and metal chimes of all sizes. They also had the opportunity to get their faces … [Read more...]

The weather this weekend couldn't have been any better for a camping adventure in October. I left work an hour early, packed up the Vera Cruz and headed to Otter Creek, which is a few miles on the other side of Fort Knox, with Aimee and Caleb. This was Caleb's first time camping and although he sounded anxious when he repeated, "We're going camping!" He really had no idea what he was in for. We met up at the camp site with our friends Art and Lauren who had their 2 kids Ethan and Maya with them … [Read more...]
