Camp Natalee Days 1 & 2

Camp Natalee 2008
background for those of you who don't know... Jennifer usually attends Mt. Hood Kiwanis Camp for adults w/ disabilities each year. Last year she didn't get enrolled in time... so I created Camp Natalee! Jen came and spent a week with us when Natalee was just 2 1/2 months old. Jen learned that it's okay for a baby to cry, how to change diapers and give baths, and what it means to be an AUNT! Camp Natalee was a huge success! This summer just couldn't pass with out a Camp Natalee... so for the second year running... Jen came and spent a week in Corvallis!


(Jen & Natalee brushing their teeth.... isn't it so cute? I love this picture!)

What a difference a year makes! I have a mini van so I can fit Jen's walker, wheelchair, and Natalee's stroller all in the same vehicle! I don't live downstairs anymore... so getting in and out and going places is so much more smooth! We have a pool here at the apartment, so that makes for a fun outing... and Natalee is so much bigger & so much for fun for Jen to play with!

We started camp at a retirement party for some friends in Rickreal. Then we loaded up the van and headed home. Sunday was church, lunch at Costco, and a play time for Jen and Natalee. Jen also helped me go grocery shopping! Might not sound too exciting, but Jen had a blast!

ooops!

I just realized that those "8 Month" pics I posted a few days ago weren't the 8 month pix.  They were more like one day shy of 7 month pictures... and THESE are the 8 month pictures! ha. o well... not much difference.  My editing was terrible in the 7 month pix - these are unedited, and probably for the best since it's not my strong suite! ha! (isn't this outfit from Nonnie ADORABLE!?) Love, love, love this one:    This is a typical face.  If he's not sucking in his lip, he's spitting and soaking his shirt with drool! (sorry so blurry - just had to remember this face!)
