So it is July already. Summer is quickly passing us by. Sam is 6 weeks old! September will soon be here and Oscar will turn 14 and Emma will be 13!
Life is good. The kids are all doing well and Sam is growing like a weed. He was 12 lbs at 4 weeks old and probably has gained quite a few oz since then. He is awake more and more and the kids are just waiting for him to start "doing things". ;) I tell them not to try to make him grow up too fast, let Mama enjoy the newborn phase as long as possible. He is a cutie and I'm afraid he really is going to try to catch up to the other kids. At 3 weeks old he started rolling over every time we put him on his stomach for the oh-so-important tummy time that drs go on and on about. BUT I can't keep him on his stomach! He rolls over every time after a minute or so. When he isn't rolling over he looks like he is already trying to crawl away. We'll see what happens when he can actually control his body a little more.
Not a lot else is happening. Oscar just got back from Scout camp. It turned out to be an expensive trip for us as he lost his glasses and the filling from a tooth fell out. So add two more things to the "need to be paid" list.
Emma just left this morning for her first girls camp. She was nervous and a little sad about leaving us for a week but I know she is going to have a great time. Thankfully last night one of our niece-in-laws (haha), Stephanie, was telling Emma how much fun this particular camp is and how you just make tons of friends etc. It helped Emma feel so much better. Thank you Stephanie, I am in your debt for helping my sweet girl! Sadly we will be gone on our trip to San Francisco when Emma gets back so I won't be here to pick her up and greet her. :( I wish they hadn't changed the dates of her camp! Oh well, not a lot I can do about that now. I hope she has an amazing time and can't wait to see her next week when I get back!
Henry is too young for any overnighters with scouts still but he does get to stay at his cousins for almost a week while we are in San Francisco. He is very excited about that.
It's safe to say the kids have had a pretty good summer so far.
We went camping with some of our good friends this past weekend. We had a blast and the kids were in heaven being able to play with their best friends. We adults had a good time chatting and watching the kids get very very dirty. Summer isn't complete without at least one camping trip. (I'll get some pictures up soon) Sam did great on the campout. Thankfully we have our pop up tent trailer. It is the best. Really is the perfect combination of camping and comfort.
That about covers us for now, I doubt I'll find the time to post again until after our trip. Until then friends...enjoy the summer!
