Gettin' back to blogging

Tonight while stuck at Cam's office for an emergency patient, I realized how much I loved past blog posts.  I know it is resolution time and all but I am SERIOUS.  I am back at it.

Many 2011 (and earlier) catch up blogs to follow because

we had a fabulous year

with little free time.

March 2010

Note:  Our favorite preschool teacher, Miss Jen, asked if "Cammie" could be shortened to "Cami".  I like it that way and it is just her nickname so from now on "Cami" it is.  I think she'll enjoy less letters.

2011 Week 8: Feb 20 - 26

POTW:

Cami always impresses me with her determination and lack of fear.  She is so fun to watch at the skating rink.  She falls and she gets right back up again.

Others from the week:

Cal is our cautious boy.

Cami looks like a garden gnome here.  This was after Gnomeo & Juliet.

At the driving range on our Monday together.

2011 Week 5: Jan 30 - Feb 5

POTW:

I see this all the time. 

Anytime Cami has a mountain to climb and needs help her big brother steps right in.

  Makes a mama's heart happy!

Whew!  It was a cold couple of days.  The kids had 2 snow days due to extremely cold temperatures.  We had a couple of Cal and Cami sleepovers where they stayed up late watching Star Wars The Clone Wars.  Our buddy T came over one day to play also so there was lots of light saber play and coloring at our house.

With school back in session, Cal's class had an awesome mystery reader.  If you look closely, you'll read "A Dentist's Day".  This dentist's day consisted of being the mystery reader at 1st grade and going to lunch with his wife, daughter, and in-laws.  A pretty good day if you ask me.

Grandfather, Mere and Aunt Collette came to town and brought a king cake.  Cami got the baby.

Our niece, Casey, had a birthday so we gave her a Musketeer costume.  She also had a really fun party at Pump It Up!

We also took time to do family pictures.

Things we loved this week:  inclement weather days, the fireplace, king cake, 4-wheel drive, girls day out, Pump It Up
