Cam and Emily: July 2015
http://camandemily.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Last week, Clementine got to live the high life and spend 4 days down in Seattle with my mom and sister (and the cousins! Clementine had a great time while we missed her very much. For those four days, Dutch got to experience what life is like as a temporary only child. But on this day, it was just him, doing his Dutchy thing. Which of course included climbing and running and climbing some more. But he was a whole lot quieter than I expected! Dutchy needs a job to do. He's alw...

Cam and Emily: June 2015

Saturday, June 20, 2015. Birch Bay Kite Festival. Today was the Birch Bay Kite Festival and of course we HAD to go! There were kites everywhere- some pretty cool ones, too! So it was the perfect time to get out the two new kites the Easter Bunny brought last Spring! Dutch has an R2D2 kite and is new to this whole experience. He wanted to hold the kite handle all by himself AND chase after his kite's sparkly blue streamers. This was a confusing situation for a three year old. It was pretty incredible.

Cam and Emily: May 2015

Sunday, May 24, 2015. Sundays in the Park. Wednesday, May 13, 2015. My favorite girl has found her calling! My new/awesome teammate (pictured behind Clem in the second picture) runs an after school club for kiddos interested in wood working. Clem LOVES it, of course. She gets to sand. Too big a saw for this project! And saw to her heart's content! Perfect extracurricular for our little tinkerer. The Hubs made me my favorite breakfast. The kids were (mostly) on best behavior. And I got a FitBit! We are a ...

Cam and Emily: October 2014
http://camandemily.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 30, 2014. While starting to think about this girl's birthday celebration- back in August, of course- she stated emphatically that she would like to combine her love of Art and her love of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Of course. So, we decided to break this soiree into parts: first, an Artist party with her friends at Creativitea in Fairhaven. Pumpkin Patch v2.0. Rookie mistake #1 dressing your two year old explorer in white when headed toward muddy pumpkin patch.). And it was at this p...

Cam and Emily: February 2015
http://camandemily.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 17, 2015. Last weekend, Clem and I hit up the Pacific Science Center to celebrate Sissy's birthday. Just the two of us went down as Dutchy wasn't feeling so well so the boys stayed home, snuggling. It worked out to be just the thing this little lady and I needed. A little time for just the two of us to adventure. (In this picture, we thought we were getting the Space Needle behind us. The selfie didn't quite work out, but I love Clem's sweet grin so I'm keeping it.). I just touched this!

Cam and Emily: April 2015
http://camandemily.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 24, 2015. In Sickness and in Health. It's a good thing we started off Spring Break with a bang because the rest of it was a tumultuous roller coaster ride. Cam got sick. And by sick, I mean we both thought he was dying. Looking back, I know now I should have listened to my gut. I should have insisted he go to the hospital (although he kept repeating the phrase: "Don't take me to the hospital, I get something worse than this! And I said "What's worse than this? Irony of ironies- he. It's bee...

Cam and Emily: January 2015

Monday, January 19, 2015. Today it was so warm out we had to get some adventurin' under our belts. So, we took advantage of MLK day (free Discover Pass day at state parks! And jet-setted on down to Padilla Bay. The sun was shining and the salt air did us some good. Clem and I adventured on the shore looking for any mysterious tracks and guessing how high the tide could reach. We found a little waterfall and creek to splash in- until Clem realized there's a little crack in her boots. I knew what she would...

Cam and Emily: August 2015
http://camandemily.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 12, 2015. The last few weeks, Dutchy has been obsessed with octopi, lobster (or "yobster"), sea horse and crab- anything aquatic, this boy wants to experience. So, we decided to take a little day trip down to Seattle to see the aquarium! And my BFF Emma and her beautiful daughter Penny met us there! Clementine and Penny were fast friends. They have a special bond and it makes my heart so happy. It was a short visit, and we lost Dutch for a few minutes in the crowd (eeeeek! We are a new ...

Cam and Emily: Into the Woods
http://camandemily.blogspot.com/2015/07/into-woods.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Our family has been spending a lot more time in the woods lately. We've found some kid-friendly hikes around here and have been taking the kids out every weekend. In part, because I am determined to get my Fitbit to 10k steps each day and because Cam, too, is trying to get more steps in each day. Dutch says "Wait, sister stood like this on a tall rock, I suppose I better strike the same pose here on this stick.". Wait, sister has a stick, maybe I need a stick.". Today, Clem and I ...
