A Birthday & Some Basting - Week of Mar. 18th

Cameron was quite excited about Katherine's birthday this year!  He helped Jane create a photo book that contained lots of pictures of he and "Ah-Dah" (Cam's nickname for Katherine).  He had a balloon bouquet all ready for her when she arrived at his house on Thursday and he helped her open a funny card that sang!

Due to work travel for Chris and Jane, Cam's grandparents came to spend the night with one lucky boy...

A fun activity included some egg coloring with Grandma.  Cameron had a good time "basting" the eggs with color, dipping them with a whisk.
Many Thanks to Oma & Opa for providing Cam with some special grandparents time!

The pretty colors on the eggs held the promise of spring.  Even though some snowflakes made their way into Michigan this week, we're hoping that groundhog redeems himself with his early spring prediction!

A Little Green - Week of Mar. 11th

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. ~Charles Dickens


Cameron continues to fight a cold virus that is hanging on, but seeing the sunshine and being able to soak it up a bit certainly makes a person feel better.

The sunroom in our home is such a great place to hang out on a bright day.  One of Cam's favorite Christmas presents was this name puzzle from Grandma and Grandpa!  The puzzle has multiple functions with the different colored letters and pieces to remove and place in the correct position.
Another "color-coordinated" partner is the abacus given to Cam by the Huey family.  Although he isn't using it to solve math problems just yet, it's a great tool to work on fine motor skills.
Some toys that Cam plays with seem timeless.  The Fisher Price school bus is still a go-to preference, especially when Emma and her sisters come over for playtime.  The endless games of pretend and taking people on and off the bus at different stops always provides quality entertainment.

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, the boys give a big shout-out to all of our Irish friends.  And, when your nose is runny, it helps to lay on your back for a bit!
