Another Princess

"Through the eyes of a princess."

I guess we have another little princess in the family. She now joins Princess Chloe and Princess Cali.  Camryn isn't old enough yet to like the princess stuff, but she is getting there.  We have been sending Princess things to the UAE and it's so much fun.  I never got to buy princess things for my kids.  They would have looked kind of funny in it anyway!

Can't Wait!!

"Babies are such a nice way to start people."

He's growing so fast.  I haven't held him since he was 8 weeks old.  Can't wait to get my hands on him!!!    Here he is, trying to open one of the Christmas presents we sent to him.

Hey Mam!

"Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close at heart."

Hey Mam, when are you coming to visit? We have a lot of new toys to play with.  I'm ready to play soccer too!!

IN 51 DAYS!!!  Love you Enchilada.

Perfectly, Beautiful Snow

"When it snows, you have 2 choices: shovel or make snow angels.
Cali loves to have scrambled eggs for breakfast.  She gets the pan, knife, fork and butter for me.  I get the egg, she's afraid she will drop it.  She sits on the cupboard to watch me make the egg and occassionally sneaks some butter.  Then she hands me the spatula and her plate.

Yesterday, we had a 2 hour delay of school because of the snow. She already had breakfast by the time I got there, but still wanted an "eggie."   While she was sitting there, I asked her if she liked the snow.  She said "It's perfectly, beautiful.  Maybe it's Christmas again.  There are 4 more presents I want."  I informed that Christmas wasn't coming for a long time.  She didn't care, she just wanted to get outside and play in the snow.  When we walked Chloe to K in the afternoon, Cali went through every snow drift she could find!

Say Cheeese!!

"You are never fully dressed without a smile."

Since Camryn is such a fan of Frosty, I had to get her this headband at the $ Store.  She puts in on and then shakes her head to make the Frosties bobble.  She has so many expressions and was ready when her mom said "Say Cheese."

My daughter-in-law, Bethany, has a wonderful website.  You should go there and see really good pictures of Camryn!    http://blessedsauerfamily.blogspot.com/   

Fun On The Camels Back

"One kind word can warm three winter months."
Look at the weather my "Far-away Family"  are enjoying!  Helps a little bit looking at  this, since we had some snow last  night and a 2 hour delay of school today.

When I was talking to my "Enchilada" on the phone the other day, he was telling me something about a camel and having fun.  I think this must have been one of those times.  Oh man, I can feel that sun on my face right now!  It's around 85 degrees right now.  Sounds good, but I wouldn't like their summers, 120 degrees!!!

First Day

"The world always looks better from behind a smile."
Today was my "Dumplings" first day of pre-school in the UAE.  We were all so excited to hear how she did.  She did great!  She fell going down the slide and hit her head.  She said she had to cry.  I was thinking to myself,  "It's so cold for little kids to be outside on the playground."  Yeah, then I remembered, it's 85 degrees there!!

I gave her a call and she told me about some of her day.  She had a good time and met some friends.  Her brother really missed her.  He kept asking his mom where she was.  I"m pretty sure she missed him also.  With her personality, she is going to succeed in whatever she does.   When her mommy picked her up from school, the teacher said that someone asked her what her name was. She told them and then said  "I'm from China."
