To My Son

by: Amy R. Campbell

Oh how the years go by,

Oh how time can certainly fly.

From once just a thought in far away dreams,

now into my arms and in my eyes gleam

the presence of you.

Your laughter and smiles

which go on for miles,

warms my heart and soul.

You're growing up so fast,

as I wish each moment with you to last forever.

My little boy will someday be a man

and right by your side I will forever stand.

I will pick up the pieces when you fall,

I will hold your hand and help you stand tall.

And when the day comes when you are on your own,

never feel that you are alone.

No matter how near or far apart

I am always right there in your heart.

Always remember whatever you go through

that no matter what, I will always love you.

 

We're Ready!!

Nick "aka Quarterback Ben" throwing a pass!

Adam just being sweet.

Happy Birthday Adam!!

Happy Birthday Baby Boy!

Wordless Wednesday!

Week 5 of 52

A challenge to get Mom out from behind the camera and in the shots!

True Story Tuesday

You just never know what a 3 year old is going to say, and mine is certainly no exception!

The phone rang last Saturday morning. Adam grab the kitchen phone and answered it. I was walking towards the kitchen with another cordless in my hand. Having caller id I could see that is was my Mom.

Knowing that I was about to answer the call at my end, Adam yells -

"it's ok Mommy...I got this call under control. It's Mimi and her and I are just talking"

It's so nice to have an answering service that has everything under control!

Our Weekend

This weekend, and the next few days are a little different in our house - not the norm.

Ray and Nick are camping, in a tent, up near Erie Pa with Ray's family (about 4.5 hours from home). They will not be back until Tuesday and they left on Saturday. This leaves just me and Adam. My house is much quieter, and almost too easy.

Yesterday was Adam's Special Day since he didn't get to go on the campout.

Here is what we did: After we said good bye to the campers, we went out shopping. We hit all of Adam's favorite stores. We did lunch at the place of his choosing, played in the evening and, after baths, we had our own campout - Mommy style. We snuggled in my bed, watched

Toy Story 2 with the lights out, we each had a flashlight handy in case we needed it, and we shared a bowl of popcorn. The little guy had to stay back but we are having a great time and I made sure he never felt jealous.

Our kids play great together. They love each other very much and really miss each other when the other is away, but my husband and I always felt that individual time is very important. You get to see a different side to a child when they are alone. They need time to epress thier indivuality and to have some undivided attention. Those times are special and create their own unique set of memories.

So thus, this was Adam's special weekend, and Nick's special weekend. Each in very different ways, but not any less special.

But we sure do miss Daddy and Nick. We hope they are having fun but we will be waiting with lots of hugs and kisses after their safe return home!! :)
