Visit from Cameron

Mom brought Cameron to visit at the end of June. We had such a great time with him and he was such a sweetie all week!

Re-united!

Jumping in the pool at Grammy's 

Bubbles 

Cameron was soooo sweet with Dottie. He said "I love your baby AND your dog" and kept going back and forth between Dottie and Cory 

These 3 couldn't be any cuter :) 

Dottie loves checking herself out in my phone 

Swimming at our house 

 We had spaghetti for dinner one night. Dottie ate a ton and then enjoyed a snack from her pouch after :) 

Ella and Cameron reading in bed one night. They had matching tiny books from Sonic and Ella would read and then Cameron would repeat every page. He said "aren't these books great??" 

We took a trip to Ms. Monkey's Emporium, a new coffee shop and little bakery where they keep a family of monkeys. 

Dottie and Grammy looking adorable together 

Meeting the monkeys!

And another picture of the three of them looking adorable 

It was so nice to have Cameron and we're so glad that Mom brought him to spend time with us!

Visit from Erin and Cameron

Erin, Cameron and Mom came to visit in October and we had such a great time with them. 

Ella and Cameron had a blast together as usual, with plenty of shenanigans and mischief-making thrown in as well. 

They danced to these singing skeletons probably 100 times throughout the weekend, and wanted them in the picture

I love this funny one

Picnic breakfast over at Grammy's

Swimming on Saturday (and there are those skeletons again!)

Visit from Grammy and Cameron

Mom brought Cameron to visit us for a long weekend at the beginning of August. We were so happy to see them and Ella and Cameron couldn't get enough of each other!

A big hug from sweet little guy at the airport. Mom said he was the perfect traveler on the flight here.

We had a great time with them here and look forward to seeing Cam again in just a few weeks!!

Great Wolf Lodge

I went to Raleigh for a few days in the office, and Ella stayed with Mom in Charlotte. Glenn flew in and Mom and Glenn took Ella and Cameron to Great Wolf Lodge, which Ella was sooo excited for! Mom sent lots of pictures to keep us updated on their adventures.

Ella had such a wonderful time and has been talking about the trip since they went, and it was so nice to be able to spend a few productive days in the office and know that they were having such a good time -- lucky kids!!
