"So, the first time you hear the concept of Halloween as a kid, your brain can't even process the information. You're like 'What is this? What did you say? Who is giving out candy?...

Everyone we know is giving out candy???...

Yes, I can wear that!" ~Jerry Seinfeld

This week we welcomed houseguests from the state of New York.  They drove across the Canadian border to meet their new grandson/nephew, Gideon. Gideon's parents are Sarah and Johnny and Johnny's family was staying with us until Sunday.

At school, Cam had spirit week for Halloween.  One day was "Anything But a Backpack" and you come to school with your belongings in something else.  We picked a dry cleaning bag and Cam told us it was a big hit.

It was a busy week and fun to have our friends in the lower level of our home.  Wednesday, Cameron was back at power soccer practice in the evening.

Our family was treated to a most delicious homemade dinner made by Vyanna and her boys! 

Each day we found time to connect with everyone and even had some extra time to spend with new buddy, Gideon and his parents.  On Halloween, Cam's parents enjoyed an evening out while Amanda and Cam hung out together.  Not a single trick-or-treater made their way up our long driveway, so we did partake in some leftover candy.

Throughout his life, Cameron has shown us that even though he doesn't have the gift of a sibling, his cousins and friends have always been like brothers and sisters.  

And the more friends that come into our lives, even as adults, feels like our family expanding.

Camology Quotes:

Cameron often gives second chances. However, a local restaurant that used to be a takeout favorite has fallen from his grace.  After seeing a commercial on tv, he commented:

"Qdoba is trying to redeem themselves by having an ad!"
