Well, they will probably not exactly love the way I'm going to put this, but ...
My babies are growing up.
Really growing up!
I had a dream last night that Porter was as tall as me. He's not quite there yet, but it won't be too long at all!
It really is a little sad:(, but at the same time, also terribly exciting!! I love watching my kids learn and develop and strengthen and do a hundred different things associated with getting older.
One of those exciting things this year was venturing off for the first time to summer camp, or more particularly basketball summer camp. We found a great program near the Oregon coast that we were really excited about.
Instead of being based in a gym for the week, seeing nothing but a polished wooden floor and rows of bleachers, the skills camp was based in a good 'ole fashioned summer camp setting.
Complete with a pool, lots of open green space, a stream with plenty of tadpoles for james to catch, and of course bunkhouses ...
a very long and quite steep slip'n slide ...
and, unlike other summer camps, lots of basketball courts.
Not to mention, lots of basketball players to go along with the courts.
And a great staff.
The boys had a hot, tiring, but also very full and fun week!
And mom and dad had a fairly typical week ... with an extra dose of anxiety at wondering how our boys were doing without us (we did get one mid-week report from grandpa who lives pretty close and made it out to visit), not to mention anticipation for pick-up day!! Considering I thought I might have a mini panic attack when we went to drop them off, I could hardly wait to have them both in arm's reach again!!
It really was a great camp, though, and a great experience, and we're very proud of our growing boys!!!!!!!!
