Father Son Campout

Our stake had their annual Father Son Campout last night, and boy did Nathan and Enoch have fun! Enoch got a new backpack to carry his blanket, books, snacks, and of course, Tigger. He was such a big boy when I sent my two boys off together, he copied EVERYTHING his dad did, even squatted for the picture, just like dad. Nathan said he didn't want to come home this morning. Last night, after they made their beds, Enoch tried jumping on his sleeping bags and was confused as to why it wasn't 'jumpy' like his bed at home. If only I could have seen his expression. Apparently, he also made some new friends from the Petaluma ward, he's such a little social butterfly. I had the house to myself last night, and kept fighting the urge to go peek on Enoch before I went to bed.I think Enoch is the only one out of us three who got any sleep. Nathan said he slept through the night, but is a bed hog, just like his mom. WOW! I can't believe my son is old enough to go camping with dad, let the tradition begin!

My Birthday Present

I had such a good birthday this year. Nathan got up yesterday with Enoch and they came and woke me up with a big "Happy Birthday". Then Nathan gave me my present; a new digital camera. I couldn't stop taking pictures yesterday! Enoch and I went to the Farmer's Market here in town and I couldn't help but snap some pictures. I think I'm going to start a type of photo journal. You take one photo a day, of anything that reminds you of your life at that time. It's not always of your children, it could be of their shoes, or of a favorite summertime past time. We'll see when I actually start this though, if I'm gonna do it, I have to commit to it. One picture a day, for 365 days!

Enoch at Cal Skate

I took Enoch to CalSkate a couple of weeks ago, and he absolutely loved it! They have a 'Tot Time' where parents can wear shoes onto the the rink, so they can help their little ones learn to skate. The first time we went, Enoch let go of my hand within the first minute he had them on. I guess I need him more than he needs me. Sniff Sniff. Anyways, he's doing great. The instructor, Erica, comes around and one-on-one teaches the kids how to fall down and then get back up. She's excellent. Enoch's not quite sure he wants to learn that now though. He did great last week (second time) and only fell down once. I'm thinking maybe I should be taking some classes, just so he doesn't show me up. I'm thinking this is going to be a regular weekly activity!
