New Pictures!

Hey everyone! We have continued to be very busy...school, work, Boston, living. But, spring is so close and we can't wait for our breaks coming up. Casey is on Spring Break the first week of April and starts summer break the last of May. I will be finished with my clinical hours at the end of March and then start back up the middle of May. I have 200 hours left to complete and I will officially 'walk' for graduation in July! Woohoo! Last weekend we went with 'Mimi and Papa' to an indoor water park in northern Indiana. We had a blast! Boston couldn't believe all the fun things to do! It was a great break for the craziness at home. Boston has also been busy busy, playing outside as much as we allow. Our weather lately has been in the mid-60s, so we have been spending the majority of our day in the back yard and at the park. Boston's favorite things to do right now are taking walks in his 'car car', feeding the ducks at the park, sliding, and, of course, swinging. He also has a new pair of rubber boots that he thinks ROCK and he wears them nearly everywhere. Casey and I are wondering if these are going to be worn this summer with his shorts too?! Anyways, hope all is well with everyone. Love you all!

Couch Potato

There haven't been a whole lot of happening happenings out of the norm around here lately. Cara has been busy with nursing, teaching, and learning. I have been busy with teaching, grading, and playing music. And Boston has been...well, just busy.

Some days we play with Play-Doh.


Some days we exercise.


Some days we organize.


Some days we dance.


Bust most days we just hang out. What else is there to do in 30 degree weather, right?



Boston did have a pretty cool day out of the ordinary a couple weeks ago, though. I was looking at movie times online just to see what's out. Not that we would have time to actually watch a movie, but it's fun to pretend. As I was searching through the Sunday list I noticed "Super Why: Attack of the Eraser" in the 12:00pm slot. Boston loves Super Why. It's a cartoon in which these storybook characters solve problems by reading and writing. Cara and Brenda though it might be fun to take him. Apparently he sat and watched the first 40 minutes of the movie and danced the rest of the time. Cara said that they were literally the only three people in the theater, so there was plenty of room to bust a move.




We hope everyone is doing well!

Words of Wisdom: Boston Style

Boston's vocabulary is growing everyday. We now have to watch what we say because he's turning into a little parrot. Not that Cara and I turn into sailors after 5:00 or anything. Cara's favorite is when he says, "Holy Moses!" I'm still a big fan of "moose," though. The hardest one to figure out is "bobby," which to Boston means potty, party, money, and bucket. At night before bath time he likes to sit on the "bobby." When the collection plate comes around at church he likes to put "bobby" into the "bobby." I guess it's like "aloha." It means hello, goodbye, and whatever else you feel like on any given day.

We hope all is well. If you're the one who sent the plague to our house last week, thanks for giving us the opportunity to get a jump start on our Spring cleaning by disinfecting everything in our house. If we gave you the plague, either directly or indirectly, we're sorry. Get well soon, Meade Blvd.

Christmas is Over

The more time I have, the less I blog? I'm not sure why it happens, but it does. I now have a few hours left of my Christmas break, and here we are. Cara, Boston, and I had a great Christmas break. We got to hang out with friends (both in town and out of town); we got to hang out with family (both in town and out of town); and we also got to play and nap (mostly in town). The best part for all of us was probably hanging around. Munch when we want; nap when we want. Here's a recap:

Christmas with the Pulvers


Dancing to Battle Hymn...again!


Laughing at Carson


Hanging with Weidemans




Lookin' sharp to hear mommy sing at church on Christmas Eve.


Christmas at Home




Boston loved playing Santa.


But sometimes the presents were HEAVY!


Taking walks in the sled.




Playing in the snow.


Munchin' on some salsa.


And then we crash.

Where is this month going?

It is so amazing how time flies! The holidays are right upon us and we are busier than ever. This semester is winding down for me...which means only two more classes until graduation in July! Casey is VERY busy grading research papers once again. I think he asks himself every day during this time why he chose English. And Boston, well, Boston is Boston. Crazy, energetic, and BUSY! He likes to keep moving and keep his little mind thinking. He currently does not enjoy sitting in a high chair at all. Going out to eat is pretty much out of the question. He keeps us laughing every day with his new words (most recent- Ah man, Cookie, Juice, and the infamous, Uh- oh...which ultimately means he did something.) We are looking forward to Thanksgiving at the Kuhnle's for Thanksgiving day, shopping on Friday (well, not Casey and Boston), and Greenfield for the weekend. We hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving and that we all reflect on the blessings we have this year. Happy Turkey Day!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween '09 was a great time. Boston got to run around in his Frankenstein costume, eat candy, and stay up a little later than usual. When you think about the things that make life worth living, these three criteria just about sum it all up. Our first Halloween experience this year was the Great Halloween Zoo at the Ft. Wayne Children's Zoo on Monday the 26th. Boston got to hang out with his two best buds, Carson and Madalyn. Once he figured out that people would give him candy just by giving them a little orange piece of paper, he was on the move. He was so much on the move, in fact, that we had to take a bit of a breather when he thew up his Twizzler. Candy + juice + running = upset tummy. He didn't let it phase him, though. One of the highlights for me was the haunted train ride. Boy scouts would run out of the woods to try and scare us as we trekked on by.





The actual trick-or-treating took place on Saturday. We started off at Cara's parents in Decatur, then to my dad's in Ft. Wayne, then my mom's in Columbia City, then back to Ft. Wayne for our neighborhood festivities. It was a tour de treats. When we got back to Ft. Wayne, we took Boston to Forest Park Blvd., which is just down the street from us. Forest Park is notorious for their awesome hand outs, which would explain the vans full of kids unloading by the...well, by the van load. Boston didn't want to partake in the trick-or-treating, though. He just wanted to stroll up and down the sidewalk looking at all the cool costumes.





Happy November, and enjoy that extra hour of sleep you got this weekend. That was better than any fun size box of Milk Duds or Reese Cup. We hope all is well. And for those of you complaining about a lack of recent updates (I'm talking to you, Lauren McComb and Josh Scheidler) I hope you are pleased with my latest submission.
