Caleb's Birthday Fun Postponed by Volcano!

Mt. Redoubt just won't stop. It keeps erupting and spouting ash all over the place.  I'm so annoyed right now.  Cannon is in Fairbanks, today is Caleb's 2nd birthday and we're putting cake and presents on hold until it is safe for daddy to fly home. It is overcast and there is a layer of ash on everything outside.  Church was canceled, the airport is closed--we're just waiting it out.  We did open a couple presents because Caleb kept dancing and pointing to them...VERY fun gifts from cousin Luke, Aunt Lolly and Gram-ma Mellie & Bam-pa Jeff.  He kept saying "choo-choo" and "train", learned how fun stickers can be and looked very handsome in his construction hat.
He learned that stickers are not for eating and quickly became proficient in sticking them to paper.
Wearing his hat and checking out his new tools.
 When daddy gets home we'll sing and have cake! Woo-hoo!
