I found this unfinished blog post in my draft folder, so I thought I'd share since it does recap a miniscual part of the last year.
So I disappeared. I guess life just got the best of me after Cam's 2nd birthday and then the holidays hit and it's all downhill from there. I miss blogging about our little guys so I do have plans to keep up with it in 2014. I don't want to make any promises, but I'll do my best to keep you all up to date on Cam's latest happenings.
Just a quick overview of 8-9 months :)
We spent our summer outdoors! Almost every day we played in the water, chalked, went on walks or played outside in some way. We were able to spend a few days on the boat too. Not as much as we'd like with our busy schedules.

We took a trip to Door County this summer, Cam spent a couple extra days with just his Grandparents and Aunts. I think he enjoyed the boat ride in the harbor! Mom & Dad ventured off to an adults only cabin weekend. It was nice to get away, but we missed our little bugger.
This Fall we took a trip to my home state of Nebraska. We were able to take Cam to the Henry Doorly Zoo. If you've never been, it's a must see while in Nebraska. I can't say enough about the zoo. Our free zoo just doesn't compare in anyway, but hey it's free! Grandma Ninny & Aunt Amy were able to join us, and my oldest friend Kristin & her precious daughter Ruby. We also had a great time seeing some of my family in Grand Island area, there's never enough time to see everyone though.
We spent Thanksgiving at our house, we hosted Grandma Ninny and Aunt Amy for a few days then Chris' family joined us for the turkey celebration. We went to get our tree, as it's beomce a yearly tradition to do after Thanksgiving. We had lots of fun. I am just thankful the weather was cooperative for the most part--you never know!
This year we also hosted Christmas, Grandma & Grandpa Masters, Aunt Alysia & Abby, and Mark (Abby's boyfriend) came to stay with us. We had a fun just hanging out--Wisconsin is not warm in December :) We had a nice Christmas celebration with Chris' family at his Grandparents house too. Connie always out does herself! The holidays can be so hectic so I was happy to just have a low key celebration and keep the important stuff a priority.
**Addition to the original**
Spring is still yet to come and we are anxiously waiting a warm up so that we can play outside 24-7. We've had a few warm days, followed by frigid weather or sometimes even a bit of snow. My guess is we'll have a super hot summer to make up for it then and we'll be stuck inside from heat advisories--haha. We've the best of it by playing in our NEWLY finished basement, making homemade moon sand and lots of playing! I'll have to do some separate posts on the DIY moon sand and the basement project.
Thanks for sticking with me! 2 posts in one day after a 1 year hiatus isn't bad!
Love,
Chris, Amber & Cameron
