Camp Happenings

So the Camps have been extremely busy lately. Lots of things have happened since I last posted which is part of the reason I never get to blog much anymore. I barely have time to sleep (which isn't a lot these days) much less blog. Do you know that I have not painted my toenails in almost a month. They have no paint on them at all.....this is a tiny little thing, but just wanted to give you an idea of how busy things have been.

Levi is doing great. He is already 6 months old and weighs a ton. We go for our 6 month check up this week. I'll let you know how that goes. He is super cute. I just want to squeeze him and kiss all over him every time I see him. He is growing so fast and I know he will be Jameson's age before I know it.

Jameson is doing great too. He still makes me laugh every day of my life. He says the cutest things. It amazes me how observant he is too. He has a great memory and rarely lets things pass him by. We are going to a pediatric ENT on Monday because he stays sick. His asthma is not much better and his tonsils are huge.  Please say a little prayer for him. I hope he doesn't act horrible. He absolutely freaks out when we go to the doctor. He kicks and screams as soon as the doctor walks in the room. Pray for peace and calmness for him please.

Rusty started a new job last month. I am so excited and proud for him. He deserved this job. It was a great move up for him. Since he moved jobs, this meant I had to change daycares. This absolutely broke my heart. Jameson has been attending this daycare center since he was born. He has made friends and learned so much from the center. I hated to uproot him and take him away from his buddies. It was much harder on me than it was on him. I was also worried about moving him from a daycare center to a daycare home with only 3 other children. The first day I dropped Jameson and Levi off I braced myself for the worse. I was expecting tears, nashing of teeth, and screaming. We walked in and he said, "bye mommy. have a good day". I was speechless and oh so proud of him. He did great and still does great. He loves Ms. Wanda and I do too. He took it like a pro; however, for the first few weeks he would say, "hey mommy, I want to go back to my big school and see my buddies".  He might as well have been standing in front of me with a knife stabbing my heart. I hated telling him no. Now he says, "hey mommy, I can't go back to my big school because daddy got a new job....right?" It was a very tough transition for our family, but we have made it.

I am good. I am adjusting to having two children to take care of. I am adjusting to working full time, being a full time mommy of two, and trying to be the wife God calls me to be for Rusty. By the time we get the kids in the bed, I am exhausted. I can not wait to lay my head down in the bed and sleep. Most nights that is only for about 2 hours before one of them wake up. It is a working progress, but I must say that I love it. I love my life and I love being a mommy. I love being a wife and I love this time of my life. I have no regrets and I wouldn't trade these days for anything else. I am so blessed.

This month we have been to the pumpkin patch and the beach. I am still exhausted from the beach trip. We had a great time, but it is just so much work to take a 3 year old and 6 month old to the beach. This was the only trip to the beach we took this year. Hopefully next year we can squeeze in another trip. Jameson loves the beach and pool. It was fun to see him have so much fun. The water was freezing, but that didn't stop him form getting in. He was smiling and laughing through clinched chattering teeth.

I promised pictures...so here they are. Just a few from over the past few months.

Rusty was really proud of his form.

These are the two faces I get to wake up to every morning.
