This boy...

shines.

There's just something so indescribably beautiful about him.
I've felt it since the first time I held him

and he looked into my eyes.
He captured my heart that first moment

and will forever captivate me.

Camden,

you are a joy.

He's been practicing this pose for quite some time now....

trying to get it just right.
I love how his little hand can hardly hold all that cheek!

Camden's Dinner-Time prayer:

Thank.You.For.This.Dinner!

Thank.You.For.This.Food!

Thank.You.For.This.Blessing!

Jesus' Name, Amen!

His bed-time prayer actually varies quite a bit, but always includes a thank you for;

Mommy, Daddy, Jude, Gwyn, Jesus, church, Grandpas, Grandmas, Adam, Rowan, Aunt Heidi, Uncle Jay, Aunt Tessa, our new house, blankets, cups, covers, and quite the list of extended family members which is different every night.

Some of my favorite things he's come up with are: walls, ceilings, uncle Ryan's nose, Boz, Daddy not to fall into water in airplane, (this was a bit frightening, as Lyle was on a business trip at the time!) spaghetti, and I'll never forget "Uncle Matt's back and the big snow bump!" When he's had an especially great day he always says, "Thank you... so much fun!"
