Leaving on a jet plane

On Sunday we are going back to the States to see family and friends and to have our next baby. We are really excited to see everyone and for them to be around Cameron. I will post more, I am sure, of fun pictures with Grandparents and cousins after we arrive. Cameron is pretty excited about the trip. At breakfast the other day we told him that we would have a car (thanks to Alan's mom) and that we would drive. He never knew that we knew how to drive a car. Maybe he doesn't have much confidence in our driving skills because then he said, "can we take a taxi?" I guess he is used to either walking, taking the bus, or a taxi here.

All the candy please!

Cameron was supposed to reach into the bag and pick something out. Instead, he grabbed the entire bag and poured it immediately into his pumpkin bucket...he knew what he wanted!

Happy Halloween!


Can you tell who this is? Cameron said he likes "scary", which I think means he likes to be surprised since we don't have any scary Halloween things around us. It was so fun playing pretend with him. He is at the age where he loves it.

Hello Edward!


Cameron LOVES Thomas the train and all his friends.

Cameron's Birthday


Everyone likes cupcakes and Cameron even helped make them!

October Fun

So much has happened since I last wrote! Cameron turned 3 years old, Alan had a birthday (he won't want me to mention his age..it isn't as fun as being 3!) Halloween, and we had a sonogram to try to see if we are having a boy or girl, but the baby was not cooperating...I really have no idea what it will be and am dying to find out. Hopefully we will know in a couple of weeks.

We had fun celebrating Cameron's birthday. I can't believe we have a 3 year old. Hee is such a thoughtful, fun, sweet boy. Sometimes when things are mafan (troublesome) where we live Cameron will catch me saying, "oh, no" and he will say, "It's ok mommy" He helps me put our moment afflictions in perspective that the Father is so much bigger than anything I encounter, whether it be 3 different grocery stores only carrying whole milk, Alan having a migraine, or Cameron trying to stand up and go potty, but not being quite tall enough to make it over the toilet seat!

After his birthday he kept asking for surpises (he LOVES suprises, like his mommy), but he seems ok when I have to tell him, "not today"

On Halloween, thanks to Alan's mom working at a costume store, we had a fun family outfit..Darth Vader (Cameron) Yoda (Alan), and Princess Leia (Shannon). It was what we did last year, but it still sort of fit Cameron and he had it on for 3 days straight prior to Halloween, so I figured it was a keeper. I think Cameron isn't quite sure why people go around to houses to get candy because here all of our friends came over and hid in our bedrooms and then Cameron knocked on each door and said "Trick or Treat!" and he got candy and toys. It was really fun and we weren't wet or cold! We had a fun party at our house afterwords and even got Cameron to go around saying, "Luke, I am your father."
