Visitors
This past Saturday some of our friends came for a visit. We had a really nice time catching up with them and having a little fun. It's always nice to have some company over!

Egg Hunt
Today after church, they had an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids. There were a ton of eggs!
This is Bethany's 2nd "hunt" so far, so she's a pro! :)'

Blizzard '08
Well, here are a couple pics of our "blizzard" in Marion OH. I didn't take very many, I honestly didn't even think of it that much. It was fun driving in it-Shhh! :)
The Daisy path, I had to shovel for her to go potty. The snow was taller than her.

Wacky Wednesday!
Today was Wacky Wednesday for Brady at school, they got to dress "wacky" because it is Dr Seuss week and they are reading a book called "Wacky Wednesday."
Here's Brady:
(Yes, he already has something on his shirt and it was before he left for school) :)'

Yellow Floor
Kirk was getting ready to cover up the little bit of the yellow sparkly floor that was left to do in the pantry. So he snapped this picture to bid a fond farewell.
Bye, Bye yucky yellow floor! I'm sorry but you will not be missed! :)

It's been a long time coming
Sorry for such an extremely long delay in a recent "word" post. Things have been busy in the Cameron household, but it's been a great busy. Let me fill you in on the happenings in recent months:
We'll start with Kirk. He's still plugging away in Columbus. He enjoys the job. He does miss the kids some days though. He has definately become the city driver and finds himself getting frustrated driving around Marion with all these slowpokes. He has found if he leaves before 6am he can beat a lot of the traffic going downtown, so he trys his best to do that when he can. Next month, he heads to DC for a few days. His first DC experience with this job, should be interesting. I tried to book a flight to tag a long with him but it didn't work-Oh Well, I tried! :) Kirk's been able to play some pick up basketball once a week with some guys at church, so that's been a nice outlet for him. He has also been busy working on the house in his spare time. He's been putting finishing touches on a lot of things.
Brady is going strong in school, he recently celebrated his 100th day! They had a big party to celebrate it. He's starting to read pretty good, he memorizes his sight words and is picking a lot of them out in every day things. His writing is coming a long great! Being a lefty I didn't know what to expect seeing that neither Kirk nor I are; but it's been pretty easy. Brady enjoys playing with his army men and trucks, putting together some simple model airplanes with daddy, watching Transformers and arguing with his sister. Brady's bedroom is looking more like a young man's bedroom now which he is very proud of, Mommy is still working on the clouds and planes she promised him and he reminds her almost every day, it will be done in the next month!!! Brady has lately been singing Christmas Caroles and counting to 100 over and over and over. :)
Bethany is a spitfire! She cracks us up on a daily basis. Her vocabulary is growing, which is wonderful! She loves to watch me fold laundry and she tells me who's clothing I am folding. She gets every piece right! She's a great helper and wants to help cook, clean or pretty much do whatever I'm doing. She still loves to twirl, twirl, twirl! She has added little arabesques to her "routine", she will be twirling then stop stick up her leg behind her and pose!! Too cute and funny. I think I may need to get her in some dance classes soon. Bethany still loves to play dress up and wear her "high heels" around the house. She has jewelry all over! She's a girly girl. Her hair is getting so long, her pigtails don't stick straight up anymore! She's been playing with my old My little Ponies I found a lot. She really likes them. She's also a very good Mommy to her little babies; she feeds them and makes sure that we are all quiet when they are sleeping. She can cook some pretty good grub in the "kitchen" too. She is not potty training anymore, she has refused to use the potty chair or even the big potty, she won't even wear her big girl underwear. We were on a roll for a while then-nothing. She only wants to wear diapers. So as frustrating as it is for Mommy we are breaking and trying later. I'm not worrying about it, there's time. :) Oh, did I mention she really likes to bug Brady!! ;)
And finally me. Life has been really good for me these past few months. It's been so simple in a way, just nice. I think I'm the happiest I have been in, I don't know when. I have been feeling pretty good, my headaches are pretty much subsided. I'm still on my daily medication, which I definately think works. I haven't had a full out migraine in a long time. It's been WONDERFUL!! My stomach issues are better, my tests came back all negative which was such a relief. I can see it act up when I get really upset or stressed so I just try and watch that I keep myself as calm as I can. I have been helping Kirk with the house too, we just finished Bethany's bedroom which I love. It's great when your vision gets to finally get out! I know Kirk was wondering about it when I was telling him but now he loves it too!
I had started going to a Mothering class-sunday school for moms, at church awhile back but my heart wasn't fully in it at first. Well, slowly it HAS been in it and I have met some really awesome ladies! I have to say I was starting to think I would never find that close friendship with anyone around here. But I'm starting to feel that kindred spirit with these ladies. We all have a lot in common but yet have our own different personalities that make it so much fun!! We've been able to go on some outings together and have some R&R time. Bethany and I have also been involved with a playgroup that meets once a week. Bethany has really enjoyed it. Today it was at our house, it was nice to have people over. We haven't got to have too many gatherings yet, and I just love having people in my house. I think that's just what houses are for, you know, what could be more fun!!! Probably one of the biggest things that I've been involved with as of late is MOPS. MOPS is Mothers of Preschoolers, it's for mom with children ages 0-5. Our Pastor really wanted to start a group at our church and I was totally on board with that and a lot of other moms were too! So we all got together and began to get it started. I'm in charge of Publicity on the Steering team, there are 7 of us all together on the steering team. I made up all the fliers and brochures, basically getting the word out to the area. I'm also in charge of the newsletter and eventually the website which I'm still working on. It has taken us several months to start off but we had our first Cornerstone MOPS meeting last Friday. It was awesome!! We had a great turnout, lots of moms from other churches in the community. We even received an email from one of the moms saying that after a long week she came to the meeting and felt so good after she left! That's what it's all about!! An outlet for us moms!!!! I'm so excited about this program, we all are!
So I think that's it! As you can see a lot going on, but it's all so wonderful and exciting! I will try and be better about posting so it's not a big long book of catch up.
We hope you are all well and hope to see or talk to you soon!
Love.
