Camping - Kind Of

Pat had to work at camp over the weekend so we went with him. It was a last minute decision that we made because the kids wanted to see daddy. I have been a little hesitant about camping with an infant. We ended up compromising with the kids about sleeping in the tent. We ended up sleeping inside a conference room at the camp and we set the tent up inside. We were all happy. Pat and I got beds and the kids got to sleep in the tent.


What a goofball. I love his silliness.


We went hiking.


Caleb on our hike. I am so glad he is a good hiker. There was a part in the hike that overlooked the camp. I have always liked to hike to this spot. The lake is farther and higher than the picture indicates.


Cute Camille entertaining herself. That tag rag she is holding is heaven sent. She loves it.

Berry Patch Farm

Paul picking raspberries.


Caleb is the strawberry patch. He didn't really pick, he mostly complained. :)


In fact, this is what he looked like for a large portion of the morning.


Camille was happy as long as I didn't bend over. She preferred the raspberries picking.


The farm had this huge pig that you could pet. He just wondered around. They also had chickens and a turkey. The kids enjoyed that. Caleb was scared of them and insisted on eating his lunch on top of the picnic table. Whatever kept him from crying... We may go back on a day that isn't so hot and the berries are a little more ripe.

Camille's 4 Month Check-up

Camille had her 4 month doctor visit with immunizations. She is getting chubby, but she is still considered small. She weighs 11 lbs. 7 oz. (8%) and her height is below the 5%. Not a new concept for us. Camille is sleeping through the night and happy most of the time. She is putting things in her mouth and starting to reach for things on the table if I am holding her while I eat. She has gotten her fingers in ketchup and the like. She squeals and makes noises that make me laugh.

Camille still doesn't enjoy tummy time.

176 Photos!

I went to download a couple pictures off the camera that I took at a service project. The cue came up on the screen saying, "downloading 176 files." Paul asked to take SOME pictures the other day on the camera. He took more that I thought he did. Some were pretty good, while others made me giggle. Here is a sample:

Camille's Baby Blessing

We blessed Camille at church. We had to take some pictures to document the event. Thanks mom for the dress.

What a blessing this child is. I am so grateful to have her in our family. One day I will have to share her with other important people in her life like a spouse and children of her own, but for now she is just mine and I am loving it.
