Wow this has been a very busy month in the Smith household. I'm not complaining though because its really been a great one.
I just completed my semester and get a nice long 5 week break. I made an A and a B in my classes which I'm so proud of. The class that I made a B in what my English class that just about killed me. I have never had a problem with English classes before but this one really did a number on me. We had soooo many long papers due every week and being a full time mom to a very energetic little boy that gets into everything made things a little more difficult. But I can proudly say that I am finished with all of my English classes forever! I wouldn't normally be excited about a B but in this case I'm exstatic! I love online classes. I was so worried that after I had Camden that I would'nt go back and I would be the only one on my family without a bachelors degree. Online classes have been such a blessing because its self-paced and I can do it on my own time instead of having to go to a set class every day and leaving my sweet boy at a day care. That would kill me having to drop him off somewhere. I don't want someone expiriencing all of his firsts before I do.
Camden is getting so big. He is wearing size 18-24 month clothing, size 4 diapers, and size 4 shoes! Hes so fun and I am loving every minute of being a stay at home mommy. We play all day! He is in to everything! Its hilarious to go into the kitchen for 2 seconds to get a soda and come back to see Camden pulling out all of our dvds and blu-rays and putting them all over the living room. Hes a mess, but i love watching him. He is walking but only if he holds on to the sides of the couches or mommy and daddy's hands. Hes the light of my life and a total joy!
Yesterday I had my first mother's day. Last year I barely missed it by a few weeks and I was kind of sad. I know that I was technically a mommy last year because I was pregnant but it didn't feel like the same thing. Yesterday though was so special to me. I woke up and Chris made some very delicious breakfast burritos and coffee and then we went to church. The service was amazing of course and then we came back to our house and had a cook out with the Womacks and the Welters. It was fun and the food was so good! Later that day Chris gave me my mothers day gifts. He gave me some beautiful yellow roses and some perfume from him and Cammy. I loved it and will forever cherish the memories that we make as a family on special days like yesterday.
We are headed to Lubbock on saturday and we are so excited! We will be there for 3 weeks so it will be a nice long vacation. Chris has been working so hard lately and is really looking forward to a little break. He is such an amazing provider for our family and I am so blessed to have him as my husband. I try to thank him often for everything that he does so that I am able to stay home with our babies. Hes just so wonderful. We can't wait to see our family and friends back home.
Camden turns one next month! I can't believe how the time has flown by. It feels like only yesterday and I was waiting and waiting on him to get here. Now hes here and it feels like time is just speeding past me. I wish I could slow it all down, but i know this is how it goes. I try to take as many pictures as possible so that I can remember each and every little bit of his life. It has been fun though getting ready for his party. Its going to be great and I cant wait to see him dig into his little finger cake!
Well that's all for now!
Much love and God bless
Sarah
