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 . . .

The Highlight of Cameron's Life (So Far)

So, I finally had a chance to upload my pictures from the last month (I misplaced the USB cord in the move). And, although it's been a few weeks, I have to share the biggest events of Cameron's life so far!

First, while we were in Peoria, Cameron's Uncle Rosie invited Cameron to visit him at work. Cameron got to ride in a combine harvester and a semi-truck. Uncle Rosie is one of Cameron's heroes!!

Another of Cameron's heroes is Uncle Cory. Uncle Cory is a police officer and he was kind enough to bring his police car by for Cameron to check out. Thanks Uncle Cory!!

7 Secrets . . .

I have been tagged by a friend to tell 7 secrets about myself. I'm going to modify it a bit and tell you 7 things about me that aren't necessarily secrets but you probably don't know . . .

1. I have a scar on my knee from falling into a sewer in Singapore.

2. My Granny calls me "Annie" - and she's the only person allowed to do so.

3. I don't like lunchmeat.

4. I watch "The Hills" - now I'm really embarrassed!!

5. When I was little, I fell off the bed and cracked my head open while jumping on the bed and singing "No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed." Now, if only I could convince Cameron not to!

Actually, it looks like I can only think of 5 . . . I'm drawing a total blank right now.

The Party's Almost Over . . .

My brother and I are 17 months apart, and I like to joke that the first 17 months of my life were great and then the party came crashing to an end. Well, Cameron's party is almost over! He's expecting a baby brother or sister in May . . .


Then again, maybe the party is just beginning!!

Happy Halloween

Now I know why all of my teacher friends hate Halloween. Cameron had two packets of fruit snacks and was bouncing off of the walls. Guess I'll have to eat his candy this year!!
