Swim Lessons

Cameron's back in swim lessons and loving it! And the best part is, Mommy doesn't have to get in the water. He's one of four little boys in a class with one instructor and each week that we go, I'm shocked at how well he listens to her. Now, if only I can teach him to listen to me . . .

Time for a Haircut Maybe??

SNOW!!

So, Dennis has finally begun to understand my position that "snow" is a place that you visit, not a place that you live. However, Cameron does not agree! He spent over an hour and a half outside with Daddy this morning shoveling the driveway and playing in the snow. And I watched it all from inside our nice, warm house . . .

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Well, it's official - we live in the Northeast. We got quite a bit of snow before we left town for the holidays. Cameron enjoyed playing in it and (FINALLY) figured out the purpose of gloves. We were housebound for the day, so we let Cameron open some Christmas gifts a bit early.





The next day, we packed up in the bitter cold and got on the road. Cameron, Dennis, and I spent the Christmas holiday with Dennis' family in Peoria. We had a lovely visit and Cameron had a wonderful time spending time with Mama and Papa, and especially his little cousin Livi!

After a long drive, we've returned home. Unfortunately, we woke up on New Year's Eve day to discover that the furnace was broke. Not exactly ideal, given that yesterday was the coldest day of the year here and it was a holiday. We're keeping our fingers crossed that it can be fixed today!! And we're starting to wonder why we ever left sunny San Diego??

The Polar Express

Last night, Dennis, Cameron, and I went for a ride on The Polar Express! Cameron got to wear his PJs and we rode the train all the way to the North Pole, while feasting on hot chocolate and cookies. Once we reached Santa's village, the old man himself boarded the train. This Christmas season has been so amazing to share with Cameron. Everything seems magical through the eyes of a two year old.

Rerun

Well, we have an appointment for our ultrasound this week and Dennis and I are excited to see Rerun! We've decided not to find out the sex of the baby (at least for now). If you want to take a guess as to the gender, size, and birthdate, follow this link for our online baby poll!

Thanksgiving in NYC

Cameron got to enjoy Thanksgiving in NYC this year with Grammy and Grandpa, Aunt Catherine, and Uncle Mike. We kicked off the weekend with a visit to Radio City Music Hall to see the Christmas Spectacular with the Rockettes - and the spectacular part was that Cameron sat still for the ENTIRE hour and a half show . . .

Then, the next day, we enjoyed the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It was a little cold, but Big Bird was there!

However, the highlights for Cameron were probably Times Square and riding the subway . . .
