Grandma MaryAnn

We love our Grandma MaryAnn and she just gets so tickled at the boys! I was so glad everyone was healthy on Christmas and we were able to visit with her. She loves Todd like he is her son and she and I could talk forever on the phone. She is one of the sweetest people I know and I am comforted knowing she prays for our family daily.

Grandparent Night

Our school decided to try celebrating Grandparent's Day at night this year. Mommy worked the Crafty Crown table while Papa took Camden around the school. They made a stop by the Scholastic Book Fair and... surprise, surprise, Camden got talked Papa into buying him a book. I am so thankful for the relationship Camden has with his Papa!

Grandparent's Day 2014

Bonding over football

Papa took Camden to the Windsor vs. Hillsboro game and he sent me these pictures. Little Man loves him some football but the cars Mommy packed came in handy as well. And of course, he got to spend the night at Grandma and Papa's. I am so thankful for the relationship my dad is building with our sweet boy.

A long over due visit

Back to school is a crazy time and we have missed seeing Papa Richard and Grandma MaryAnn. We promised them both it would not be long before we visited again.

Remembering Nana

Todd and Camden were out playing in the backyard the other night. Camden knelt down by this sign and asked Todd what it said. Todd read it to him and explained to him that we got it when Nana Barb went to heaven. I love that Todd thought to take a picture for me. I miss Barb and often say to Todd, boy do I wish your mom was here.

Meeting Grandma

I am so thankful Mom was able to be in Kansas City with me while Todd kept Camden at home. The NICU was a new experience and she was the calming influence I needed at times. We also made good roomies. Our time together brought back lots of memories of our 2 weeks in Minnesota when Camden was born. Here is Grandma's first pictures with Jaden:

My church

A certain little boy was thrilled to have Papa and Gramma come to "his church" this morning.

Celebrating the last of summer 

Just a boy and his Papa

Camden loves his Papa and I am pretty sure Papa loves his Camden just as much. When he calls, he will ask, "How's the baby?" It cracks Todd and I up because he's still a baby at four. It's no wonder he loves going to Papa and Gamma's house. He has a special relationship with both his Gamma and Papa. Gamma picks him up from school and they go to McDonald's and have recently added Wal-Mart and the library to their stops! And Papa takes him for rides on the go-cart and motorcycle. Camden was excited this night because he and Papa were "twins"!
