Kyle had a wonderful time at camp. He says he could stay there forever. When we inquired as to whether or not he would miss us, he said "yeah". He's been doing well this summer, enjoying it most definitely. Kyle had a friend stay the night last Friday night and they had a blast! Kyle has been working hard this summer, stacking firewood in order to earn rights to a bow that he and Gregg bought earlier. Kyle has also been spending some time in the pool we borrowed, this has been great for him after receiving swimming lessons in the spring. Just last week he finally mastered a back float and most recently I've noticed him working hard in swimming back and forth.
Jack continues to entertain us on a daily basis. He begs for the outdoors, games of chase and people to watch his silly faces. Gregg & Kyle recently taught him to baulk like a chicken and mimic a deer call, so that has been added to his bag of tricks (growling like a bear and barking like a dog). He has 6 teeth in and is working on two more. Most recently he loves his morning bowl of oatmeal and pineapple!

Kyle is away at camp!
Gregg drove Kyle to Camp Chickagamee yesterday around 2:00 PM. Kyle shared that he was excited but a little nervous too. Our church holds one week of camp there for 3-6th graders. I wondered if Kyle would be okay, and Gregg assured me that he would probably be too good. I think Gregg is right! Kyle will be loving it, the outdoors, rustic, kids surrounding him!! I know he'll miss us too, especially Jack. When he came back from fishing I noticed he couldn't keep his hands off of Jack!
Gregg will spend three days at camp helping teach archery (he'll go each day, about 50 minutes away). I think it'll be nice for Kyle to see him, but we definitely feel bad at the homefront as Jack has to go to daycare during those days!
Jack is keeping us busy. Thankfully he's generally set in going to bed at 8:00PM - we actually enjoyed an early movie last night with Jack in bed and Kyle at camp! Jack will sleep through the night, but usually gets up for a bit around 5:00, maybe 6:00 AM and then generally falls back asleep for another hour or two. His napping is still hit or miss; 30 minutes one day, 2 hours the next or two naps of an 1 1/2 another - we try, but if he doesn't want to sleep he'll cry, fuss and play for an hour in his crib! The other day Gregg found him on top of the table! Yes, on top of the table; he climbed up the bench and then onto the table. Needless-to-say, he loves to climb. He also screams any time he gets denied going outdoors or climbing up steps (I can't count the amount of times that happens in a day). We're working on his 12 month old tantrums.
Work is fine! I still appreciate the setting much more than when I was there the first time. So many things have improved since then. Unfortunately, all the staff are experiencing major changes due to a new company taking over. It is evident in the current attitudes of many. Hopefully this will pass!
I hope to post more pictures this week once I take my laptop to a wifi spot. Keep checking!

One Week Post Reunion
I have had either a hotdog, hamburger or piece of chicken with chips and salsa since Sunday for lunch and dinner and you know what, it's not that bad! I believe Gregg and Kyle are on the same roll but enjoyed a variety on Monday & Tuesday while they experienced Cedar Point with family.
I think we felt a little depressed once everyone left! We do hope everyone has recovered from their visit and travels!
Kyle enjoyed a few hours with one of his friends from school this evening, while Gregg played soccer in town and Jack entertained me at home.
Work has been a bear, with so many changes from our new company, everyone seems to be going just a little insane....I like to think my sanity is much better off than those of my co-workers, but I am probably not the one to ask!
Jack is doing well at letting us know when he's done eating with shaking his head no. He also LOVES to climb. He climbed up onto the couch and then up the back of it in attempts to reach the deer on the wall. I was unable to witness the original event, but once home for the evening I saw his little legs and arms go!
I am working on a Jack family reunion survey; hopefully it'll be helpful. I'll keep everyone posted!!
