vaca recap finishes: camden's blessing day

camden samuel:

hello sweet baby boy.
our newest favorite nephew
[they're all our favorites really. we're liberal with our love-giving around here]

you're really a blessed person.
born into a wonderful family who adore you.
your sister liz is one of sweetest children i know.
and your brother harrison is so energetic and fun-loving;  you two are going to stir up so much mischief for your parents :)

your parents are two of my most favorite people.
honest, hard-working, dedicated and so very very good.
right down to their toes.
these kind of people are hard to find so i hope you appreciate them and let them sleep an entire night sometime soon.
you're going to have a lifetime of adventures and love.
it's going to be a great.

glad we could meet you little guy.
keep on growing, evie needs a chubby cousin.
someone to share a jiggly belly-laugh with.

see you soon.

 

let the vaca recap begin:: a few snapshots from our first day with [my sister] bb's family

allen's:

flying alone with two kids was not the most fun i've ever had [although it went pretty well].

but flying to utah a few days early to spend time with the family was worth it.

thanks for letting us destroy your house-

5 kids under 4 tends to get a wee bit crazy :)

love you all.

 

ps.

that first picture is of the art that liz made for nana and papa's hotel room.

i may be biased [of course i am!] 

but i think lizamagoos is one talented artist. 

she did those pages entirely by herself- and she's only 3!! [almost 4]

oh how i miss that girl.

love you magoos.
