Amazing Race Premiere Party

**Aunt Jeanne and Kate... you can read the post until the end of the pictures without the show or ending being given away (if you have not watched it yet).**

Meghan and Paul got here first so we decided to give Caleb a bath. It does not take 3 people to bath (or lotion, dress, and feed) a baby; however it sure makes it more fun! Caleb was a peeing machine too... he peed twice in the bath and again while we were getting him changed. :0

Auntie Meg is the best scrubber/cleaner

Washing Caleb's back and bottom... he is squeaky clean, that's for sure!

We all loved this picture from the gorgeous blue eyes and eyelashes to the details of the toe in the mouth- what a sweet boy!

Caleb so excited about his dinosaur bag/dress Auntie Meg picked out

Flying Caleb... love this picture (Great face, Meg!)

Bunny Caleb

This picture is just too cute (Yes, I thought it was weird at first but really like it now!)

Caleb and me (Caleb, why do you look sad?... Was it Aunt Priscilla singing "Ca, Ca, Ca, leb, leb, leb" or Auntie Meg slinging around the rings?)

Uncle Paul, Aunt Elise, and Caleb (who is now scared... I'm telling you, it is the crazy people behind the camera)

All the kids now... love how Paul, Meg, and me are all touching Caleb in some form or another

How do you dry off a rambucious dog drenched from all the rain? (Thank you God for the cooler weather and much-needed rain!) Well, mom's way seems to be working!

Our amazing cook making made-to-order fancy grill cheese sandwiches (ham, turkey, cheese, tomatoes, pickles, spinach, basil leaves)

Mom, Dad, and Suki watching Amazing Race

Beautiful Red-headed cousins

Yes, the Radcliffs CAN be quiet if it means a sweet baby can fall asleep easier! (I just think Caleb didn't want to miss out on the crazy Radcliff family fun.)


Ok, now that you have seen all the pictures from our fun party, let's talk about the show that brought us all together... Amazing Race! It was a great premiere but definitely had us laughing from the watermelon in the face to watching the people try and balance in the boat (the father/son team was definitely the funniest to us). And the theater friends left us laughing at all times (well except the boat part, the others felt real bad for them)!! The teams also seem to be a little bit different than in the past- there were more girl/girl teams and less boy/boy teams, no married couples, and more parent/child pairings. I think this will make for an interesting season!

Here is the teams we like the best and are rooting for:
Dad- the nerds (AKA- Team Glee)
Mom- she really liked the theater boys but since they went home she is rooting for the doctors (Nat and Kat) and the Father/Daughter team (Miss Kentucky)
Paul- the father/son team but really just likes them all EXCEPT Tinkerbell and Pan
Meghan- the doctors (Nat and Kat) and the Father/Daughter team (Miss Kentucky)
Elise- the doctors (Nat and Kat) and the Glee boys (they are too cute for words!)

Who do you like or want to win?

Thank you Paul and Meg for driving so far to spend this time with us! You two are fabulous with Caleb- he is blessed to have the two of you in his life! Thank you Mom and Dad for coming and being such a big help by buying the supplies and making dinner! The grill cheeses were the best! I love you all very much and am so blessed to have you in our family!

My favorite line of the night is "What country are you in? London." (spoken by Phil and the tattooed chick) My favorite is Nat and Kat (the doctors). Both Dave and I think the home shopping hosts and the Kentucky too are cute, but a little too much...extremely high pitched and hyper! :)
