Spring Break, etc.
I know it's been awhile, but as usual school and not having any free time have gotten in the way of blogging. But, I'm back! First off, we have really enjoyed taking family walks, and since it has been brighter outside with this warmer weather, Camden has started sporting his sunglasses. I just had to get a shot of Neal and the little guy before they went on a walk. How cute are these two? Neal said that while on their walk, people stopped and honked and waved at the two of them. I sure hope they were paying attention to the road! My spring break was a couple of weeks ago (this shows how far behind I am), and we decided to spend the week visiting Camden's grandparents. First, we travelled to Athens to visit Neal's parents. We mostly just relaxed around the house and played with Camden. Neal's parents had set up his old crib and a changing station for us to use while we were there. They were set up for us to stay for a month if we wanted! Also, Neal's mom had saved every one of his toys, books, and stuffed animals, which I was able to see. Camden played with some of the toys, but I think he may have been a bit overwhelmed with all of the choices, because he wasn't as excited as I thought he would be. I think I understand why Neal is always so eager to clean out our closets and sell or give away anything we aren't using. :) We will probably keep a couple of Camden's important things for grandchildren to play with, but after we stop having children, I would like to donate or sell items to kid's resale shops, so other little ones can enjoy those items instead of paying for a storage site to keep things in boxes for thirty years. I think that Neal and I would like to keep as a goal for ourselves to not ever have so much "stuff" that we have to use a storage facility. But, I also understand how hard it can be to let go of things that have so many important memories attached to them! On Sunday, we went to the church where Neal grew up, and they met Camden for the first time! You would have thought we had a celebrity with us - everyone wanted to meet him! Neal's dad played with Camden during church and let him fall asleep on his shoulder - so sweet. Somebody did wake him up after church, but since Dr. Helf was holding him, no one dared to ask to hold our little guy. I kind of appreciated that, since he is not always happy about being passed around. We also took him to Neal's dad's office to weigh him, and Camden now weighs 17.5 pounds! Today, I am taking him in for his six month check-up - I can't wait to see how tall he is, too! On Monday, we drove to Houston to spend time with my family. While there, we stayed with my mom and stepdad, and we met my dad and his wife for dinner. My little sister Madisson loved getting to see Camden.
