Cameron Family Update!

Winter. Cold. Still. Yuck! We are SO ready for spring in our house! The nice thing about the mornings is that the sun is actually up when we are leaving for the day :) The downside... it is still consistently below -20 when we are getting in the car. I know I can't wait to see grass again and spend some time going for walks and playing outside!

I have to say, our kids are troopers! Getting out of the house at 7:30 every morning isn't easy, but I'm lucky our kids do well with it! They love going to the dayhome, which makes everything easier.

We have had a very busy month, although it seems like that is the theme of every blog post! Report cards is always a difficult time with longer working hours, less sleeping hours, and less family time. Nothing feels better than knowing you've done the best you can on a job and seeing the word "Submitted"! Gerry and I are getting excited for our trip to Hawaii and we leave in just over 2 weeks! I am worried about leaving the kids for 8 days, but know that this is something we need and deserve :) We're looking forward to going on a trip this summer with the kids and a big holiday when they're a bit older (and will remember!)

Colby is doing great! He keeps us entertained and always wondering, "How does he know that?" or "Where did he get that from?" He's a great big brother and one of my favourite moments of every day is seeing Colby and Jenna say goodnight and give hugs and kisses to each other! He's excited when Jenna wakes up in the morning and plays really well with her. I'm so happy that he has a great little friend who is slightly older than him at the dayhome. He and Hunter are very close and I'm glad that there's another boy around everyday :) Colby continues to enjoy playing outside, Thomas trains, cars, etc. Love you, buddy! :)

Jenna is almost 18 months old! Where does the time go?! I am convinced that she will be entering the terrible two's before she turns two! Jenna is already a strong-willed, independent little girl. She likes doing everything herself and only wants help after she's tried. Sounds like her Mom, maybe? Just a bit?! Jenna is a social little girl who enjoys playing with anyone and everyone. She loves playing with her older brother and is often his little "shadow". I love that her hair is finally growing in well and the little curls at the end! Man, she's cute, but I'm pretty biased too!! ;)

Enjoy the rest of your week, everyone! I'm going to really try to stay a bit more caught up with our family blog... right now I have three blogs and it's hard to keep up with it all! The late afternoons and evenings seem to disappear so quickly!!

xoxo

Yes the weather can definately be summed up as "yuck!!" But the forecast is looking up :) Have a fabulous time in Hawaii!! Hopefully we'll see Colby, Jenna and Grandma Bev while she's staying with them! xoxo
