Sharing with Cameron

So, now that we've broken the big news to everyone, we thought it was probably time to let a certain 6 year old know. Stuart and I weren't sure what to expect. Cameron has been praying for a baby sister for about 2 years now. It was like he always knew that this would happen. We could see him being completely ecstatic to just barely acknowledging what we had just said. So, last night at dinner, the conversation went a little like this:
Stuart: Hey Cameron, remember what you've been praying for the past few years?
Cameron: I don't remember which one dad.
S: Remember that you kept praying for a baby?
Cameron: Yeah.
S: Well, you're gonna get one
Cameron: (waving his arms in the air), I bet its gonna be a girl.

And that's about it. He was visibly excited. Then we had a discussion about names. He came up with the names Anita and Karen for a girl. I thought those were pretty interesting. I would love to know how his little brain thinks. This morning in the car he informed me that if we had a baby girl then we could name her anything we wanted except for Emily. Ahh, the complete randomness of it all.

As for everything else, we're doing fine. Stuart and I went down to Washington this weekend to visit the fam. It was my dad's birthday and we were super excited to celebrate with him. It was also awesome to get to see our favorite nephews. Hayden always is good for a laugh (or 4000). That little boy just makes me smile to think of him. Brody is getting bigger and is such a handsome little guy.

That's all from our neck of the woods. We'll catch you up later.
