Cam-a-rams and I took a little walk together, just him and I.
I love having one-on-one time with my kids...
I find myself wanting to soak up every last drop of them
and "squish them to pieces"
(...you know, those too tight, almost desperate, mama hugs.)
I think Camden enjoyed it, too.
He stayed right by my side for the rest of the day...
even though we were at Grami's.
His signature "facial expression session"...
He hates the bright sunshine. Whenever I ask if he wants to go outside with the rest of us he's always sure to check the "forcast", exclaiming "it's bright!" if there's even a hint of direct sunlight streaming down, and adamantly refuses to join us. If ever I do coax him out he grabs his little chair and sits in the shade.
This is over-blown, I know. I'll have to see if I can fix it...
What an angel...now scroll down a couple more...
Uh-huh...This gives me the chills. Why, you ask?
Because this is the "exact" expression I received
from my father whenever I envoked his wrath growing up..
Here, let me show you...
Ha! I really love that I can see both of my parents in my children..
even if it does give me goosebumps.
For those of you wondering...
Camden was mad because he couldn't get his hands in his pockets.

i love reading your blogs...you should write books! = ) it might actually get me to read one
Oh no! Now you're taking my only slightly talented area in my entire life, WRITING! I know my blogs aren't exactly entertaining these days but I'll get better. And let me tell you, I've been known to spin a tale or two in my day.
There, I just had to get that out of my system. I REFUSE to let you steal the one true passion (other than my family; although you can't have them either) from me! You are just way too good at everything and I always thought that writing was MY area. I guess I was wrong. I am truly talentless now. Bummer.
Anyhoo... Kinda freaky how much Camden looks like Dad. I know what you mean about the chills. I learned to hate that look growing up!
Of course, that smiley, do you want to love me, kiss me, squish me for the rest of your life look in #2 and #5 is pretty darn chilling too!
wow! It looks like your on a picture taken rampage! It looks good, love the background in the field, so peaceful.... doesn't everything look extra pretty this summer?? I am amazed how lush and green everything is... I think it's just cause we had six months of white stuff all over everything. Once again beautiful work my fellow blogger. :)
As for you Heidi, you're way more talented then you give yourself credit for... and didn't your mom ever teach you about sharing with your sister growing up? Well, I guess it still applies... :)
This from the sister who told me I was an overachiever because I had twins!
Do you see what I've had to put up with my entire life?!
This girl makes everything into a competition! Heids, when will you realize that it doesn't matter how good I am at anything...it in no way reflects on your talents. You're an amazing writer regardless of if I am or not.
You just are.
Silly girl!
Anyway, thanks for the compliment, Lance. My goal with my blog is to preserve the everyday mundane randomness of my life that I'm terrified of losing within the next few years. I never want to forget the little details that make up my life right now...as I'm living my happily ever after. So it makes me happy when you guys enjoy reading about our silly little existence.
Thank goodness that face is not commonplace...he is the kindest boy I have ever seen!
Okay, so I got a little dramatic.
Let me explain where I'm coming from.
Just the other day I was confiding to Jay...alright I was WHINING to Jay that I didn't feel God had given me one talent with which I could use to glorify Him. Then Jay said,"Well you can write. You are an amazing writer. Terah has photos, decorating, scrapbooking, etc., and you have writing."
It made me feel a little better that there was something that people thought I was semi-good at. Then I saw Lance's true, but devastating to my ego, comment. I got a little, shall we say jealous? But I am completely over it and I wasn't that upset in the first place. I just thought it was a little ironic that my sweet husband had just told me that it was one of my strong areas.
Sorry if I came across a little strong! Love you!(and all your stupid talent) ;)
