Time Flies When your BUSY

2010-07-19T22:53:00.002-05:00

Well life has gone by fast. I know that no one wants to hear the sob stories of me now in Grad. School and no time to blog. I have a pistol for a child and my oldest is about to start KLT at Locust. Life is very busy but I would not change it for anything.

2010-01-20T06:00:00.000-06:00

WOW!! Many of you will not believe it but my baby is 10 months old. It is hard to believe that he is growing so fast. Here is his top 10 of the past 10 months:
1. Bye Bye was his first word. He is so cute when he does it because he waves to himself.
2. 7 teeth, His big front tooth is chipped (Thanks Gumbea)
3. Walking He has taken many little steps but has not strung it together into a long walk.
4. Other words: Mama, bubba, Dada, ppppp, ba ba (which I think is bath)
5. Eating everything and anything, we have not bought baby food in months.
6. Air Plane trip to Mississippi
7. 2 sets of ear infections, tonsilitous and a sinus infection (Merry Christmas)
8. Watermelon: He could not get enough from our garden this summer.
9. Firsts: Halloween (he was Camp's horse); Christmas; New Year; A great Christmas Snow
10. Being beat up by his big bubba. Not really but Camp does try to boss and carry him around.

TOT

2010-01-16T19:17:00.004-06:00

Camp was in a half time show today at ACU with Crystal Smith's TOTs Team of Tomorrow. Here area few pictures and a video.

Yes I am ALIVE

2010-01-16T18:50:00.004-06:00

Pictures of the past 9 months. Yes we are all still alive and doing well. Camp is now 3 and Cash will be 10 months this week.

Baby Quiz

2009-03-23T16:42:00.005-05:00

We decided to look at the old pictures of Camp when he was first born. Cash has his own little look but it also looks just like Camp. SO.........Which baby is which?

Ok so you can tell by the date on one of the pictures. The right baby is Camp and the left baby is Cash. We think they look like little twins. I guess Cash will be way cute because I already know Camp is way cute. Good genes.

Mother of 2

2009-03-23T15:22:00.004-05:00

I would like to thank Aunt Eah for publishing more on my blog than I have in 6 months. Maybe she should keep up with my blog all the time. Well we are home and doing great. He is eating well, sleeping all the time and his big brother can't get enough of him. We are blessed to have a sweet Camper that loves his new baby Cash. Camp cracks us up because he wakes up in the morning comes running into the room and says hi Cash, hi Cash, hi Cash over and over and over. Finally we say "Camp, Cash can't talk." "Oh" he says and then kisses him numerous times. He also so precious when he tells people that Cash is his buddy. Not brother but his buddy. I am excited to see them grow up together. I am feeling good also. Second birth was so easy. I mean I hate to say it but, I was laughing and talking through the whole thing. Chris and I have talked about how it was a weird experience from the first one. It made it so easy that I could one day do it again, but it will be much later down the road if at all. Here are a few pictures other than the one Leah posted.

They are home!

2009-03-21T18:41:00.001-05:00

Sweet baby Cash, his mommy, daddy, and brother Camp are all at home and doing well. We love you and miss you!

He's Here!!!!

2009-03-20T17:21:00.004-05:00

Cash Douglas Churchill arrived today at 12:12 pm. He was 7 pounds 5 ounces and both mom and baby are doing great. He has a head full of hair and looks alot like Camp! My heart just breaks that we can't be there to see him today! He will be so grown when I get to come and keep him for a week! We love you-give that baby kisses from us.

Baby Update!

2009-03-20T08:08:00.002-05:00

I talked to Shirla just a few minutes ago and Nicole's water broke on its own this morning. She is at a 5 and her contractions are a minute apart. She is getting her epidural right now so hopefully she can rest. Cash is doing well on the monitors- very active. They are hoping by lunch time!!! I will let you know when I hear something!

Today's the Big Day!

2009-03-19T16:00:00.002-05:00

I begged Nicole to let me have her password so that I could keep everyone updated on baby Cash. Tonight Nicole is being induced so hopefully by morning we will have a new baby! I will keep you posted as I get information! We love you Nicole and are praying for you and a healthy baby. Wish that we could be there!

XOXOXOXO- Leah

2009-01-29T17:11:00.007-06:00

I have won an award. The worst Blog Poster in Abilene!!! I would like to say I am very proud of this award, but truthfully I'm not. There has been so many BIG moments in my life since my hubbies birthday, but none of them have been captured on my blog. Well her it all is in a nut shell

I can't believe that time has flown by so quickly. It was just yesterday that he was born and now his little brother is almost here. SCARY!! Here are his B-Day pictures!!!

Here are first week and first birthday pictures so you can see the amazing transformation of our little toot.

Still Camp's little brother does not have a name, but hopefully by the time he is born he will actually have one. Everything is going great. Chris is working hard to finish the room/house. We are all hopeful it gets done!! 7 1/2 Weeks and counting

So I can't promise that I will blog anytime soon, but atleast it is something new since Dec. 8th.

28 Reasons

2008-12-08T07:25:00.002-06:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDA!!! Today is Chris' 28th birthday. That should be great news, but today is not going to be birthday celebrations. This past weekend my Mamaw passed away and today is her funeral. So in honor of my Wonderful Husband he is getting a blog to himself. I thought I would list the 28 reasons why I love my hubby.
1. He shaved his beard (wasn't really a beard, it was a pathetic attempt at one) because I didn't like kissing him.
2. My master bedroom looks like it actually may get finished.

12. Camp thinks he hung the moon. AND Camp is right most of the time.
13. Chris will always attempt to give me or make me whatever I want.
14. When we were younger and not dating he always protected me. I have always felt safe with him.
15. He loves his family and friends.
16. Childlike heart.
17. He lets me think I wear the pants. :)
18. Hard worker
19. Faith
20. A hug can always make my problems melt away.

October

2008-11-14T19:30:00.000-06:00

I know that I am so behind on posting. So here is the month of October. All in one post. He did so much during October that I hated to skip the month all together. So everyone just gets it late.

This is Camp going to his first Fall Festival of the year.

Here are the sweetest pictures of Camp. One of my best-friends, Missy, came by and brought her precious new baby girl. Camp loved her. All he wanted to do was kiss her over and over. Good thing he loves babies!!!

Here is Camp's actual Halloween Costume. He loved being a baseball player. We did not do much trick or treating but he enjoyed what we did do.

Just some silly pictures of Camp. He LOVES baseball. It is the only thing he wants to play.

The BIG news of this month is that Camp is going to have a Baby Brother. YEAH!!!

Weekly Stress

2008-10-01T18:35:00.000-05:00

With the title of Mommy's Week you would think that I was alone, at a spa and being treated GREAT!!! Well that is not the case. This week an last week have been two of the roughest weeks of this pregnancy.

Last Week

Camp likes to find the ant beds in our yard and stand on top of them. Then he starts yelling 'bees' because they are biting him. Chris ran over and started knocking them off of him, but the damage was done. He has bites all over his legs. I felt horrible. He picks at them and now they are scabbed over. His poor little legs look like he has had chicken pox.

In total 3 of my students have pooped their pants. Yes pooped. If I include just the wetting then I have had a total of 4 non potty training moments in my class.

Wednesday, a sweet little girl in my class got sick at lunch. I barely moved out of the way and she only hit my feet and the lower pants. Being pregnant and dealing with my own throwing up, hers did not set well with me. I yelled for help because if someone didn't help me they would have been cleaning up my mess also.

This Week
Allergies are about to kill me. I can't breath, my head hurts and nothing is kicking it. Everyday, I tend to be real lady like and hauk something up, this only gags me and gets me sick.

School: Well I have had a better week there only 1 potty training incident so far this week. BUT I have had meetings everyday this past week and it sucks to come home late from school.

SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEP that is all I want to do but until someone tranquilizes Chris that will not happen. Chris may be out it the dogs soon. I guess he thinks that he bed is all his and I am forced to sometimes switch sides with him. Then with all the bathroom breaks, I just don't sleep. (And the worst is yet to come)

I no longer can fit into my old clothes, therefor I am now stuck with maternity clothes.

Well the week is not over yet, but if it gets any worse I may have to scream. I am ready for June!!!

Positives
I hate to have only a blog of crap. So the good from the past two weeks.

Camp is tee teeing on the potty several times a day. We take our own potty seat to Mrs. Mary's and it seems to help. Hers is not baseball like ours at home. I took up Leah's idea and have been giving Camp stickers for going to the bathroom. It seems to work because he has gone 4 times the past 2 days. I just hope Camp is out of diapers by the time the new one comes along. Keep it in your prayers.

House: Chris might be slow but he will do it... We have started the garage enclosure. The garage is clean, rebar is here, but we are waiting for Lowe's to get in more mesh. Then might have concrete. :) :) :) Chris also is going to extend my front porch. He is only do it so he won't have to hand mix the concrete, but who cares, I am getting it.

Tomorrow I have another Dr's Appt. and Dittos for Kiddos. Then on Friday we are going to Childress for Princess Chloe's 3rd birthday.

And the best of all I am blessed with the sweetest almost 21 month old boy and a great hubby. (even though he keeps me up)

Who is 30????

2008-09-25T16:33:00.003-05:00

NEIL
Neil, We all miss you here in A-Town. Chris, Camp and I wish we could be there for your 30 birthday. The video card from Camp is beside the only pumpkin that grew this year. Love you and miss you.

Oh How Time Flies

2008-09-22T10:55:00.002-05:00

It feels just like yesterday I was laying in a hospital bed waiting for Camp. Now I am back to waiting but this time for baby #2. I am so blessed to be pregnant, but I am going to sound selfish for a small bit. Over the weekend I was holding Camp on the couch and I thought, did we get pregnant too soon. Camp is still so small and he is still my baby. Then Camp lifted my shirt and kissed the baby, at that moment I knew he and I were going to be alright. We are eager and excited to have a new one coming into our lives. Here are the sonogram pictures that we took the other day. Our expected due date is a "range" March 18-26th. I have not talked with Dr. Ward to see what the date he is going to actually claim.

True Test of Readers

2008-08-26T19:29:00.003-05:00

Sometimes I wonder who really reads this blog. I thought I would let the world know that Camp is going to be a big brother sometime this spring. I think that it is going to be in April, but my Doctor's appointment in Monday the 8th. It was easy to hide the sickness during the summer because no one saw me, but now that school has started it is just to the point when I must tell. Here are Camp's two shirts that I made for him to let everyone know that he is going to be a big brother.

Summer Memories

2008-08-19T16:06:00.005-05:00

Well now that I have offically started back to school it really STINKS!!! Camp and I had so much fun this summer. I thought I would put several pictures of Camp and I creating great summer memories.

Cousin Jack Jack, Aunt Eah and Unkie Neil came into town and played. This is a picture of us as we were being followed by our poparatsie moms. Jack is making sure Camp does not fall. Thanks Cuz!

Chris, Camp and I met two of our greatest friends in Cross Plains at our Farm. The weekend was so much fun and this is one of my favorite pictures from the weekend. Camp couldn't get the old tractor tricycle to work so he improvised and pushed.

Stratton and I thought we would take our 1st and last picture behind bars.

Swimming with the cousin crew. Creek, Chloe and Camp all enjoyed a crazy swim day with Nana. He loves his couins Ceek and Coco.

Didi's special and fun pool. While visiting Nick Nick and Didi, Camp went swimming in the neighborhood pool which was the best pool he has been in all summer.

The summer ends by me putting Camp through off-season football. I stuffed him with plastic balls (pretending to be pads) and we wrestled in the ball pit. It was intense training but he survived and will one day thank his mama fr making him work hard in life. :)

Final Days

2008-08-12T18:52:00.003-05:00

Well I am in the final days of my summer. Camp and I went to see Didi & Nick Nick while Dada was fishing with his boyfriends. We did so many things that my sweet baby has been worn out. Our first exciting adventure was the Ft. Worth Zoo. I took the stroller so Camp could lounge around and look at all the animals. Well that was not good enough, he had to RUN the entire zoo. Didi says that he is going to be a distance runner, but with me and Chris as this parents that is definitely out of his future. We all had a great time until the heat came. Here are some pictures the Zoo.

My Big Boy

2008-07-15T14:26:00.003-05:00

I am so amazed at how time goes so quickly. Today I took Camp for his 18 month check up. I can't believe he is so old. Every day he does something new and remarkable. Dr. Capra says that he is growing great. He is 29 lbs 15 oz, and 33 1/4 inches long. He is for sure not missing a meal. I dread him getting older because I already get eatten out of house and home and he is only 18 months.

We have had such a great summer. Slowly Chris and I are completing our to do list. I have had so much fun being a mom to Camp this summer that the start of school is not going to be easy. Every morning Camp walks into our room (with his blanket) climbs in bed and snuggles until I decide to get up. Then he helps me fix breakfast and we sit together and eat. A wild morning then starts. Every toy is out of the toy box and is scattered all over the house. We clean up and are ready for lunch or an outing to the city. The lazy days of summer are here at the Churchill house.

So while Neil and Leah were here I bought a new camera. Here are a few of the great shots I have gotten with it. Most of these were take while Camp ran around Jacob's Ladder.

The joys of Summer!!

Terrible Twos here I come!

Mom is getting what she gave Gumbea!

Safe

Nothing can keep me down.

Camp & Jack

2008-07-11T22:19:00.003-05:00

WOW!!! The past 10 days have flown past. Neil, Leah and Jack were all in town visiting and the boys had a blast. It was so good to spend time with the family. We really miss them. Here are a few pictures of the week.

Branson

2008-06-17T19:15:00.003-05:00

We(the Churchill Clan) all just came home from a Vacation in Branson, MO. It was a good time with the family. Here are a few pictures of the week.

Amazed by the fishes.

This is Camp and Cuzins at the fish hatchery.

Summer has arrived

2008-06-17T19:04:00.002-05:00

My summer has been busy already. School has been out for 17 days and so far I have accomplished many goals but still have so many more to go. Here are a few of those summer goals...
* Finish the Kitchen remodel. Check
* Paint the dining room. Check
* Paint the Kitchen Table. Check
* File all the paper work sitting beside the computer. Almost finished
* Get Camp into a Big Boy Bed. Check
He loved having a big bed. All I did was take off the rails to his baby bed, but he thinks it is so great to be able to get in and out of his own bed. We have only had 2 problem times. He is like his Daddy and will not fight you when it is time to sleep. The next goal is to take the baby bed out completely and give him his twin bed.
* Enclose the garage into the Master Bedroom. I got Chris started!!!!
* Garden Garden Garden. This is a never ending task.
* Finish unpacking boxes.
* Organize Camp's old clothes into tubs.
* Decorate my front porch, and hopefully the back patio.
* Tile Bathrooms.

Those are just a few of my goals. I would also like to take some fun trips.
* FT. Worth Zoo. But only if Aunt Didi will go with us.
* Mississipp. To see Unkie Neil, Aunt Eah, and Cuz Jack Jack
* Maybe my hubby would take me somewhere great for our Anniversary.

What a summer it will be if all gets accomplished. If it does happen, I will be finished with my house and ready for a new one. :)

Look out Mrs. America

2008-05-09T14:13:00.004-05:00

Last night was the Western Heritage Parade. My little cowboy was just too cute to pass up. He loved every minute of riding in the wagon.

I MISS Unky Neil, Aunt Eah & Cuz Jack Jack

A Crazy Little Boy

2008-04-29T12:43:00.002-05:00

OK so far this is my favorite age of Camp. He is learning so many things and it just amazes me. He is learning new words everyday and can follow directions so much better than when he was just starting to walk. He can also understand so many concepts I have been trying to teach him through his short little life. Hot, Cold, Yes, No, please, thank you, more. He is just so cute and wonderful. I really don't know what I would do without him. My sweet baby is becoming and honory little boy. Here are a few of the pictures that I feel really let you see the true side of Camp Doc Churchill.

Sweet Moments of Camp

2008-04-13T19:43:00.002-05:00

The blessings of a baby. My sweet little baby is growing into a little boy. It makes me happy and sad all at the same time. He no longer wants my help when he is trying to get up or off something, when he feeds himself, in the bathtub or any other new thing. But the sweet moments are when he wakes up in the morning and wants to cuddle with no one other than his momma. I mean Dada tries to get in on the cuddle action but Camp won't let him. When he s watching Pinky Dinky Doo in the afternoon and want to sit in my lap with his juice. Or when he gets hurt and wants me to let him know that everything is going to be ok. Those moments are now fullfilling the old baby moments. I just don't want those moments to go way. Here is one of those great moments.

I know that Camp is my precious baby, but I think he could be a genious. Now which set of genes gave him is smarts is obvious, but it amazes me what new things he learns everyday. I have kindergarteners that do not know the sounds of his name and Camp a 15 month old baby does. Here is the back ground on how he learned this. No I am not a mean mother making him learn this stuff already, he learned by playing. Gumbea bought a Leap Frog letter sound thing for her refridgerator. Well she only put out the letters of his name. One day we started singing him the song and he said the sounds back. Now he can sing it anywhere and it is so cute. I have tried to get him to do it for the camera and this is as good as it gets.

Churchill Farmers Market

2008-04-13T18:52:00.003-05:00

Well the market will be open for shoppers this summer. We finished planting everything except for the pumpkins. They are not getting planted until the end of may so they will be here for Halloween & Thanksgiving. It is going to be a lot of work but Chris is up to it. We will be having squash, zuchinni, onions, corn, watermelons, cantelopes, green beans, okra, black eyed peas, tomatoes, jalapenos and I'm sure I am leaving something out. We are slightly crazy for the size of our garden, but we thought we would try it big this year and then make it smaller in the years to come.
Here are pictures of the prize winning garden.

Leah would be proud. I made cute signs to tell where all the things are planted.

Weekend Get Away!!

2008-03-31T18:26:00.003-05:00

This weekend Camp and I went to DFW area to stay with one of my bestest old friends. Belinda AKA Did, was our tour director. We didn't do all that much it was just good girl bonding. Tami another great friend and Belinda's Sister-in-law also joined in for the festivities. Let just say Camp was great entertainment. He did not want to shop and while we were at the house he was putting on wild shows. Here are a few picts from the weekend courtesy of Did.

I love Did!!!

DUH Momma, I think you should know where my belly button is by now!!!

Look at my bottom, it is covered in chalk.

I am the smartest almost 15 month old ever. I can read to Did

Farmer Camp

2008-03-21T17:57:00.002-05:00

Now that Chris and I live in the country with some acreage. We are going to plant a gardern. Now we are not talking about a small garden, it looks like we are going to plant enough for us to feed Abilene. Well at least I think the garden is huge. I am very excited about it though because I love fresh veggies and I will be able to store them for winter. Wow I sound like an old lady!!! Here are a few pictures of the garden and Camp while Chris plowed.

First and Last Trip to Gatti's

Above is another note from Camp!!! Now that I am in charge of the computer I will explain my title. Last weekend my 4 yr. old cousin had her birthday at Gatti's. Now I love Camp but he will never have a party at Gatti's. I work with children all week and I don't want to see them on my weekend. Well Camp enjoyed the merry-go-round and did not want to get off. Here are a few pictures of the fun filled party.

Pops and Camp bowling. I don't know who had more fun!!!

Watch Me Grow

2008-03-11T17:46:00.002-05:00

On Sunday Chris and I planted 16 red tipped photenias. We are hopping that they will one day be a great wind and privacy block for our backyard. Problem is they are not very big. So I decided to compare their growth with Camp's growth. Then since Camp was such a big helper he decided to mark himself with the mud. He is 100% boy. We love dirt, mud, water and our newest trick is climbing everything in sight. I am getting paid back for everything I gave and for what Chris gave.

2008-03-11T17:37:00.003-05:00

Every woman is going to want to go to the same Heaven, I'm going to. In this Heaven there will be no Laundry!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh I think that right now that is the worst thing in my house chores. So to help out Camp now has the responsibility of folding the underwear.

Under-Roo Man is going to be my SUPER HERO name!!!

Snow Man

2008-03-11T16:34:00.004-05:00

Sorry it has taken me so long to get the snow pictures up. I finally have my computer up and running again.

Look out snow here I come!!!!

The snow got the best of me!!

Daddy put me down!

Desperate for the Lottery

2008-03-04T13:20:00.002-06:00

This past weekend was the hardest time for me as a mother. To sum up the story, our daycare lady and I disagreed on Camp. She said it was a fit but I knew it was more. She said he throws fits like that all the time at her house. I have never, ever, ever seen him stay this mad for so long. It took me 45 minuets after I left her house to calm him down. I don't know what she did to him, but it was not any sort of TLC. She was very frank and short with the fact that she was not worried because it was a fit. I just don't want my son in a place that he always is throwing those kinds of fits, and if she thinks that is normal then she is far from wrong.

I guess that I know I can't afford to keep him at home and that just makes me sad. I know that he is not getting the best in care because it is not me with him everyday. Starting this blog has really made me sad because it seems like everyone elses blogs are stay at home moms.

I don't know what to do now. I really hate leaving him there because I worry about him all the time. Just keep this in your prayers and if you happen to pray that I win the lottery I'll cut you in on half.

Near and Far

2008-02-25T19:54:00.004-06:00

I feel the end in sight but it is not close enough. I did get all the cabinets painted and hung back up. But the counter top is not done, nor the hardware, or the new sink. It was such a pretty day that I had to take a time out and play with my wonderful son Camp. Here are the pics from this weekend.

What, I am not suppose to play in the mud???

This is Camp enjoying the mud he has all over his face.

If I can't play in the mud, maybe I can play in the leaves!!

Now here are the pictures of how the kitchen finished this weekend.

The last line is a sweet note from Camp to all his adoring fans. He thought it would be fun to climb in mommy's lap and type like her.

Nag, Nag, Nag

2008-02-22T09:06:00.003-06:00

I guess in my older age I am starting to become the wife that nags... Well in this case I think I am going to agree with my precious, never home on the weekends husband. We started our house transformation starting September 12th. We moved in, immediately worked on Camps room and the have slowly gone since then. It has had a MAJOR overhaul but not enough for me..THE NAG! Yes, we no longer have glitter in our ceiling (thanks to me). We no longer have a closet in our foyer (thanks to both of us), we no longer have ugly wallpaper (thanks to me), we now have beautiful paint in all the rooms ready (thanks to me and a slight thanks to him). I guess in his man of a mind he has done a lot, BUT in my woman mind it ain't finished and I want it done. Here is the actual reason I am a nag... 3 weeks ago we started our kitchen remodel. The island was tiled one week. The stove was put in the next. This week we worked on the back splash and the painting of the cabinets. I was hoping our weekend goal would be to finish, BUT NO not for him we can live with the microwave in the living room, and tile all over the room, and doors off the cabinet. Well I can't. My goal this weekend is to finish without him. This is when I really need my BFF Leah but I don't think she can make the weekend trip.

I have recently been told by two wonderful friends that they were going to take me off the list of blogs they view. I guess to them between work, Camp, Chris, remodeling my house and all the other normal day stressers I should find the time to write a new blog. Well here I am during my break at school typing away at a computer making no sense, BUT IT IS GETTING DONE. I have not been very faithful about my blog only because I forget about it. I will try very hard to post something every week and maybe at least 2 times a week just for my admiring fans.

OK now lets do a quick catch up. Christmas went great. We loved seeing Cuzin Jack and Aunt Eah. The boys were so cute, it makes me sad to think that they don't get to play everyday together. On the other hand we just enjoyed being together. Camp got more things than he could imagine for Christmas, the joys of having wonderful Grandparents.

Now moving on.... CAMP is 1. Can you believe it? It has been 1 year since I had the joy of delivering him. HAHA Well his party went wonderful. We had several of his buddies out to the house and cooked and ate some fajitas. I would love to say I am going to put pictures of it but, Chris took that camera chip to the farm and I don't have any until he brings is back. Sorry.

Well I know that may not have been what my fans wanted but it is all I got. I'll do more later.

Amazing Camp

Camp was sick this weekend and it was the worst weekend of my parenting career. I could not get his fever to break and he did not want to do anything. My active fun baby was a bump on a log. It was hard to see him so tired and worn out, but today he woke up in better spirits and I think is on the winning side of his ear infections. Well I took some pictures of my baby at the ER last night. No thanks to the Dr. is he better. All they did was pat us on the back and tell us we were doing everything correct. So we just have to wait this one out.

I was putting on a healthy act for the nurses so they would not give me another shot!

Is this better Aunt Eah?

Oh to be a Mom!

Remember the good days when the man left in the morning to go and work while the woman stayed at home to keep the kids. I mean her morning started at the crack of dawn making breakfast and did not end until every thing from dinner was cleaned up, but she was at home with her kids. I hate to sound old fashion but after today it kind of sounds nice. Kindergarteners are just as needed as Camp, the only difference is I have 20 of them and one of my own AND I have to raise Camp he is my own. Why am I raising 20 others? I guess what I am getting to is I wish I was Leave it to Beavers Mom. My daycare was sick today which left Chris and I in a bind. Camp came to school with me until 10 and then Chris is keeping him the rest of the day. I am sad to say my child is being raised by someone else and I am having to rasie other children. Please pray we win the Lottery. :)

Missing the Family

2007-11-13T18:18:00.000-06:00

I am really writing this blog to start keeping in touch with my friends and family. The holiday season is approaching quickly and I am just not in the spirit in which I am normally in. With Christmas being my FAVORITE holiday, I am normally really excited about decorating and shopping and the whole nine yards. Well I feel alittle torn because I should be excited as it will be Camp's first Christmas and then I am sad because Neil, Leah and Jack will not be here. I really miss them and I feel that a part of me is missing with them gone. I don't have garage sale buddies; Not that Leah was really cheery in the mornings and Neil and I fought the whole time. But it was all the fun things we did together that I really miss.

Now on a bright note. CAMP is wonderful. He is growing so fast and I mean fast. He is so close to walking it is almost frustrating me that he has not taken off. He will take a step and then get scared and fall to the ground. That scared stuff must come from the Churchill's, I mean my superior genes were walking at 8 months. :) I hope everyone remembers to tell their family they love them and truly cherish this Holiday Season.
