Cameron is Six




On October 8th, our baby boy turned six years old. Where has the time gone? We remember like it was yesterday the 48.5 hours that mommy was in labor and the struggles to bring him into the world and how we longed to hold him during his stay in the NICU. We love you and are so proud of the young man you are becoming.

We celebrated many times the fact that Cameron was turning six. Our first party was a small family party on a rainy October 3rd with Grandpa Al, Grandma Judy, Great Grandma Betty, Uncle Dan, Tina, Wyatt, Uncle Steve and Aunt Angela. We began the party by watching Cameron play his Saturday AM soccer game. It was a cold wet day but Cameron was so proud to be showing off his excellent soccer skills to his family. After the game we headed back to the house to warm up and enjoy a pizza lunch. Cameron received the game Sorry (which is loves), Knex, and a really cool Hot Wheels track. Mommy made him a soccer themed cake - a green soccer field with players and nets.

Cameron celebrated in school on October 8th. He brought fruit snacks for the class - one of his favorite treats. The class sang him the underwater happy birthday song. That night Cameron choose his favorite meal for dinner...tomato soup and garlic bread. He opened his presents from us and received a new leap pad book and another Hot Wheels track. He also opened his presents from Grandma Maggie and Grandpa Bill...a new soft Transformers blanket and the game Connect 4. He also received the book "Where the Sidewalk Ends" from Uncle John and Aunt Ali.

Then on Saturday, October 10th, Cameron celebrated with his friends. He has a such a wonderful group of friends. In attendance were Noah, Blake, Matthew, Max, Jacob, and Andrew. Jacob's mom, Amy, stayed to help which was wonderful. His party was sports themed completed with a soccer cake made by mommy, a soccer pinata, medals, and many sports games. The boys enjoyed a pizza dinner. Cameron of course loved all the presents most of which were Lego related. They had such a wonderful time together and just laughed and laughed.
