Too much to even think about typing

Waaaaaay too much has been going on lately, I don't even know where to begin. So, I won't! I will just post some adorable, as always, pictures of our not so little man (97% height, 75% weight at 2, go figure!). I know I always say it but he gets cuter by the day!!!

2 Year Pics

Ride, baby, ride!

Loves the suds and swimming like a fishy

Trying not to float away in the Dells

Little old man, already?!?!?
He knows he is too funny...

Good till the last drop (or piece of cottage cheese as the case may be)

Cameron turns 2!!!


We had an awesome Mickey Mouse Clubhouse party for Cameron's 2nd Birthday. He had such a great time and yelled Mickey, Goofy, Donald, Daisy, Minnie any time he would see one of them around the house. He got so many fun toys and cute outfits, and he had a great time ripping the paper off. He has been out of practice since last year. We had Mickey cookies, cake, candy canes, plates from Disney World, and tons of other Mickey decor. He wore a Mickey shirt and got lots of Mickey toys, cups, and clothes. We also went to Chuck E Cheese with Julie and Serena to celebrate a few days early since they couldn't make it to the party. He now loves "Chucky" and gets excited when he sees their commercials. It snowed again this year during his party so I think thats just the way it is going to be forever. We have several feet of snow on the ground here in WI, and Steve is getting his work outs in with the snow blower.


The week before Cameron's party we had a bunch of friends from Trinity come and spend the weekend at our house. We had a great time talking, laughing, playing with the kids, and watching the big kids play Wii. Oh and of course eating a lot of food! It was so good to see everyone as we miss being around them as much as we used to. We did a white elephant gift exchange and strangely I have found almost all the gifts left behind around our house hahaha

Busy fall


Well I thought that I would have more time to post since we moved, but that hasn't happened. Where has the time gone???
Let's see... so much has happened... Cameron had a great time on Halloween having 3 of his cousins over for the night and going trick or treating in the nearby neighborhoods with them. He dressed up as Mickey Mouse who was his #1 obsession at the time. After crying the first few times he tried on his costume, he got used to it and loved it lots (of course he loved the candy too)! It was a beautiful, warm day, no winter coats needed.

Also on Halloween I found out that I was pregnant for the second time. We were overjoyed and super excited as we didn't expect it quite so soon. I went to my first appointment in late November and everything looked good. A few days later, I woke up to go to work and I knew something just wasn't right. I woke Steve up and asked him what I should do. We decided I should go to work so if it got worse I would be in the right place (my OB's office is connected to my hospital). God was watching out for me as my OB happened to show up at 7:30 so I talked to her and she called over to get me in at 8. I walked over at 8:15 and by 9:30 I had an IV and was going in for surgery. I had to have an emergency d&c because I was having a lot of bleeding and there was no other choice except to go ER to be monitored (yeah, right!). Steve rushed as fast as he could to Kenosha from Milwaukee to be with me and it went as well as is possible. I tried to relax for a few days, which is pretty impossible for me, especially with Cameron around. We were (and still are) devastated, but we have come to realize that it was all part of God's plan and when it is time he will bless us with another precious little one who will be perfect in every way. We must move on, but we will never forget the love and attachment we felt. Cameron has done wonders for us as he keeps us laughing and on our toes all the time.

November brought more excitement as Jeremy, Julie, and Serena (who Cameron lovingly calls Renie) moved back to Racine, just 5 or so minutes away from us. We have had so much fun hanging out with them and catching up on lost time. The kids get along so well (as long as Cameron isn't pushing or taking toys) and they hug and kiss lots :)
