Happy Father's Day!


We had a very busy father's day weekend. I was not scheduled to to work from Wednesday to Monday so I was home with the kids the whole time. I am not sure which is more exhausting, working 12 hour shifts or being home with the kids for 6 days!
Saturday Grammy came over to help us plant a new apple tree that she and Bob got for Camden. Then she made dinner for us! She even brought a special birthday cake for Andy and I, chocolate with half peanut butter frosting for him, and half boiled frosting for me. Andy's birthday was last week and mine was over the weekend. After naps I took the kids to my cousin's house to celebrate another cousin's baby shower and they both had a great time. Neither lacked for attention.
Sunday Andy was working so I packed up the car with the kids and the dog and headed to my dad's and camp to see Nana and Grampy. It was a long and tiring day for all of us, but I'm glad we made the trip.
Mimi came over today to help out and I was able to plant 6 more rows in the garden. I hope it turns out well. I love fresh veggies! The kids were even in bed by 7:30 and Maddie was asleep by 8pm! Am I dreaming?!?!?
We have hit a plateau in Camden's weights. He is still 7.5 to 8 kgs. Even with him eating oatmeal cereal, applesauce, and yogurt and meeting the 35 ounces goal each day with 10 to 15 ounces by tube feeding at night. But then I remember that even healthy kids hits these plateaus too, so I will just have to keep an eye on it.
