One more thing...

I forgot to add this movie. We don't know where he picked this up, but it cracks us up.


Camden--17 months

Camden seems to be getting more cute and more fun each month. He is definitely a full-fledged toddler now, and he has a little boy look instead of a baby look. He really loves his trucks, eating, and climbing up things. He has only 3 weeks until he is a nursery boy!


Halloween preview....Camden the Dinosaur!

See you!

Wrestling with Daddy

Got him!

This picture reminds me of Shamuu at Sea World.
Notice all the things Camden threw off the table.

The computer whiz. I wonder what Camden will be able to do on the computer when he's a teenager.

Camden's first attempt to feed himself with a spoon without my help.
Guess it was too much work!

Cabinet update--going slower than anticipated. Our goal is to finish painting by Saturday.

Baltimore Harbor, Arlington, and National Cathedral

Here's our final post about our vacation, and a few more things. We were pretty tired after our touring, so we decided to take it easy for the last few days there.

Baltimore Harbor and Camden Yards


National Cathedral--It was really beautiful. They pretty much let you wander where you want to go. It is the highest point within DC, so you can see all around from the top. I was surprised that it serves an Episcopalian congregation. I guess I just assumed that all cathedrals were Catholic. They also have many interfaith assemblies.



Arlington Cemetery: We watched the changing of the guard, and it was really amazing. We learned that even during hurricane conditions, the soldiers will still guard the unknown tomb. I thought the heat was oppressive, but I couldn't imagine how the soldier felt in his wool uniform and gloves. It reminded me that I can do hard things, too. At the bottom, our little Camden was marching up and down a drain grate. We thought he might have been imitating the soldier!

Overall, it was a very beautiful, reverent place. What an honor it is to live in our country!





As for the rest of September, we've been getting cars fixed, bodies healthy again, and refinishing kitchen cabinet doors. Much bigger project than anticipated...will post pictures when finished.

Happy October!
