Blowing Kisses

I haven't been able to capture Camden's cute wave on video yet. He sort of twists his wrist instead of waving with his hand or fingers. It's very cute! Everytime I turn on the camera though he of course stops. I was lucky enought to catch him blowing kisses...he just started this over the weekend..and has only done it a few times. I think he just had so much fun at Aunt Maegan's with Kaiden he felt the need to blow kisses. Or maybe it was pure joy brought on by the UT game. :) (Hopefully UT will keep their heads in the game) Too cute!

Patchwork Quilt

I am definitely starting to feel like a patchwork quilt. :) I had 2 more sections of skin removed today. I had 2 moles removed a few weeks ago and they were both abnormal, so I had to go back today to have more skin removed to make sure they got all the abnormal cells. That makes 5 biopsies with the results of 1 fine, 3 abnormal and 1 melanoma - the last 4 all requiring a 2nd cut and stitches. Boy oh boy. I am glad they have been relatively small patches and that they can just cut them out and it's ok. I am very thankful for that. Wondering if they could just do an all over skin peel :)

I was finding a picture of Grace for an upcoming SMA fundraiser...came across one that made me think of Camden. Do you think they're related? :) And there's about an 8 month age difference between them in these.

Growing Like a Weed

I can't believe Camden is almost 1!!! And he's growing up so fast! He got his first haircut yesterday. He looks more and more like a little boy and less like a baby. He did a very good job at the barber. Keven wanted to take him to this place down on Congress - Avenue Barbershop..or something like that. It's been there since 1933 and it's basically the same. It was pretty neat. I think he did such a good job b/c he was to tired to care :) Then he had his fist lollipop after that. I had forgotten how much Grace loved lollipops. But now Camden does too.

He also has started waving good bye and blowing kisses. He doesn't always do it consistently but he's getting better. And his wave is so cute! He kind of twists his hand around instead of going up and down. I have to get it on video. And he took 2 steps. Didn't get too far but it is a start. I just can't believe how quickly time is flying.

We also got to go hang out with Kaiden and Kase yesterday. Camden had a lot of fun with Kaiden. He loves to play. One of his favorite things to do is go up and down the stairs, with me right beside him of course, but he likes to come down the stairs head first. He's a hoot!

Sherry had the triplets. They are all healthy and good. YEAH!!! I haven't been able to go see them yet...I'm battling a sinus infection or allergies or something..not going to chance that with them.

Not much else going on besides the usual. Looking forward to Monday off as we have a 3 day weekend, although I'll probably go do some work at school for a bit anyways. But that's ok. Hope all is well with everyone!

October Really?

So, I heard somewhere that people that spend time each day journaling or blogging are all around healthier and happier. And since we should believe anything we read or hear, especially on the internet, I thought I'd try blogging some more.

Things are ok here. I'm teaching full time now - between 2 schools. Camden is growing like a weed and has taken 1 step...we're waiting for the 2nd. He's home today with the bug they've been passing around the daycare. Keven is working his tail off between work and grad school. We hope to see him in 2010 when he graduates :)

I am tired though. Of life in general. We have it good. I know that. We have so many wonderful things. I know that. I am very thankful. I can not complain. But I'm worn out. My heart is tired of hurting for so many families and children. For my own child and family. I'm tired of feeling like I'm going 100 mph and not getting anywhere. I'm tired of checking my email and being afraid of emails from friends and their children being sick. I'm tired of money controlling everything we do or can do or can't do. I'm tired of the what ifs and I should haves. I'm just tired. But I do love Camden's smile and laugh. Those make everything else just disappear. Just go away. Just not matter at all. I can't believe he's almost 1!!!! He is such a miracle and a blessing.

So many prayers for so many people!! Tambryn, who is very sick needing lots of prayers! Dani who is doing better but still needs good thoughts. Kyle, that he doesn't get sick too. Sherry - she's so close to delivering those triplets, just hang in there and get those babies here safely. My other friend prego with twins for a healthy pregnancy. For all the other kiddos and families that are sick or in need of prayers. If you need something to do on October 25 check out http://oddsonacure.com/ Prayers for all!
