Cam's Fall Season...

has been loads of fun so far. He had a great time with his great aunt Nancy in Houston...






And partied with his buddy Zander Darroh in Houston, too...




He was a T-Rex for Halloween...


And he rode a horse!

Cam teeth

Cam's just now getting around to sprouting some more teeth. He's had four rabbit teeth for the longest time and now it looks like he's gonna fill up the mouth. Poor guy's pretty uncomfortable these days. Not all the time, though. It seems he has a joke he likes to tell us, only we don't have a clue what he's saying or what it might mean. He smiles real big and says "aye-wiggly-veeee!" over and over.

Cam's First Rangers Game

Thanks to good friend Robbie for the great tickets! He gave us his families' good moment. Much appreciation.

Cam had a great time. I wasn't sure how he would respond to the environment, but he seemed very comfortable with it. We got there just before the first pitch and left after the 11 run fifth. The game was looking lame until the Ranges' bats came alive. We saw about 3 home runs, too, so Cam got to see the fireworks they set off for that occasion. A very fun night.

Vacation Pics From Upper Michigan

We traveled to the UP again this year to visit with Chico, Sue, and the Yooper crew. Cameron didn't like being locked into a 5 point harness for 12 hours a day in the FJ. Go figure. He did better than we expected, though, so he gets high marks. Unfortunately, Andrea threw her back out just days before the trip, so her ride was just as troubled as Cams. All of this made my driving very easy (Seriously, it wasn't that bad).

Cam and I doing our best Who impression tearing up the hotel room in St. Louis.


Here's Mommy and the boy the first day at the beach. The first week we were there the beach was cold, so visits were brief and a bit blustery.

Visiting out at the family "camp". This is a private camp on the beach of Superior owned by Andrea's dad's family.

On the beach at camp.

At the playground on Presque Isle.

Yeah, I think he likes being on vacation.

Jilbert's is the local dairy up there and it's tradition to get some ice cream at the big Moo Moo. Back to front: Uncle Chris and Aunt Audria, Grandma, cousins Senia and Mallorie, Cam and Grandpa.

Visiting with Great Grandma Julia Powers.

Cameron's favorite activity. Throwing. Anything. Here he throws wood chips at the playground at the lower harbor.

Another cloudy day at the beach. Grandpa's house is about a minute away walking, so trips to the public beach are frequent.

A lot of cool rides in Marquette. This pic courtesy of Marquette man Walt Anderson. Unfortunately, this will not be Cam's first ride.

Just winding down for bed.

Daddy, Ron and Henry talking off roading.

Mommy thought Cam might like a trip to the cove. She was right. Last year we were in town when school was in and this place was crawling with teenagers scaling the cliffs and diving off.

The day before we left we went on a hike and then to a beach off the trail. It was finally hot (85) and the water was 60 degrees, so we all got in. So cold.

OK, now I've got to account for my off roading adventures and do some video editing for Grandpa. Thanks for looking!

Cam and Moms...

Cam starts Mother's Day with banana slices fried up with pancake batter.


At Grandma and Grandpas'. Susan gets help from Senia opening her gift.


Mommy scores a comfy pair of sandals.


Cam's aunt Audie gets a shoe fix, too.


Outside the girls try to show Cam what lightning bugs are all about. He doesn't quite get it. Maybe next year.

Easter Forward...

Cameron is really loving getting out on the weekends. We went to the Main Street Arts Festival in Fort Worth and he never stopped smiling.






Cambo had himself a good Easter over and Grandpa and Grandma's. Mommy fixed up some plastic eggs for him with treats inside and "hid" them in the living room. He called them balls and had fun discovering them. Did the Easter bunny bring that huge bag of clothes? I don't think so. Grandma and Grandpa worked too hard to let that rabbit take the credit for covering Cam's behind for the next 6 months!

Mega 3 Month Update

Well, sorry it's been so long since we've updated. I'll catch you up quickly and then try to stay on top of this thing.

First of all I'm (Paul) staying home with Cameron now. We took him out of day care and I'm working under contract for my previous employer and taking freelance jobs during the week. It's very challenging to work and watch Cam, but comforting to know whatever is going to be wrong with him will have been my fault.

Cam's got two teeth now, has had his first birthday party, went to the Fort Worth Zoo and has taken his first steps.

We're going to the Powers' pad to hunt Easter eggs with cousins Senia and Mallorie today. Happy Easter!!!

Mommy and Cam checking out the zebra on Cameron's actual birthday. He had such a great time seeing all the animals in real life and hanging out with mommy and daddy.

Daddy and Cam pointing at the monkeys!

Cam posing in his "Being One ROCKS" shirt after the visit to the zoo. He picked out this lion as a memento.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for the great gift!
