This is super late but figured it needed to be posted here as well. (The whole world knows already!) The Camp Family is going to be getting even bigger come May 2012. 🙂 We will be expecting baby #2 sometime around May 16th. We find out in a few weeks if it will be a baby brother or a baby sister! One of my good friends, Casey Martinez, captured some great family photos for us – including this one. Doesn’t Levi look so happy about his news??

September Travels
We were busy busy during the month of September. Gone, then home for a few days, gone again, home again. Whew! Glad to be home to stay for a little while. 🙂 We took our 2nd Outer Banks vacation with the Ball Family and the Charles Family. We had a great time! Very relaxing. And despite the mosquitoes which were brewed up by Hurricane Irene the beach was quite nice most of the week. It got cold and rainy at the very end of the week but we were going home so no matter. 🙂 We were home for a …
Outer Banks Vacation
We just got back from one of two Outer Banks vacations that we are taking this year. This past week we stayed in Duck with the Camp Family. Levi was sick for most of it which dampened the fun a bit but we made the most of it. He wasn’t sleeping well and was waking at the crack of dawn every morning so I figured I might as well take advantage of it. So Thursday morning I drug Mike and Levi down to the beach for a little photo shoot. Haley (she was up super early that morning too) came …
Tackling the never ending “to-do” list
If you were to come to our house you would quickly see all the projects that we have going on – at once. Our usual MO is start on a project, get it about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way done, and then stall out. For instance, the stairs are installed and look great. But we still have yet to caulk and touch-up paint. Even the hardwood floors that we installed almost 2 years ago still need trim around the fireplace and the closet trim needs to be done. We simply do not stay on task and our mind wanders …
Pendant Project!
My semi-annual craft project post is here! Haha – just kidding – I do way more projects than 2 a year. At least 4. 🙂 This project started when I saw a newborn photo that used this pendant bunting in it. Along with this photo came a very handy tutorial which gave me the confidence to go ahead and try it. I had always known the basic premise for making these but just never got around to it. And these are strictly for my photo business since none of them match anywhere in my house but how fun would this …
Girl’s Day Out
This past Saturday, my dear friend Lindsay and I left the husbands in charge of the little boys and headed out on a mini-roadtrip. 🙂 We have been pining to go to a few stores down in the Charlotte area but needed a) whole day b) no distractions. We FINALLY got both requirements filled and scheduled and headed out Saturday morning. First stop – Pottery Barn Outlet, Gaffney SC (after stopping for some coffee!). Still a bit expensive but we did find some items that we wanted at a discount. (YAY!) Look at all those couches! It was tempting…. We …
Birthday Party!
Last Saturday we had Levi’s birthday party. We had lots of family and friends come to help us celebrate! Despite the heat, we had a great time eating lunch, breaking a pinata, and enjoying yummy desserts (although the birthday boy wanted nothing to do with cake). Here are a few pictures of the day. 🙂
First Birthday! {1st Post}
You will have to bear with me over the next few days. There are going to be a few posts for Levi’s 1st birthday festivites. 🙂 First up – birthday pictures! Go check out my photo blog for Levi’s “pro” pictures by mommy. 🙂 Emily Camp Photography
And the project is finished…..
Well, sort of. Good news is that the stairs are now back in commission. Old carpet is all off, new risers put on, and new treads stained and installed. And it looks fabulous!!!!!!!! Mike really has outdone himself on this project. 🙂 However, we still need to go back and touch up all the white paint and cover up stain spots. Not to mention we now have a lovely unfinished gap between the top step and the old carpet in the hallway – yuck! Hallway is next! BUT, we are in the home stretch of the ginormeous floor project throughout …
Beach!
Last weekend we went on trip #1 (out of 3) to the beach. We spent a long weekend in North Myrtle Beach with some friends. We had a great time! Levi did pretty well – pretty normal for him at least (he definitely had his moments). Mike and I even got to enjoy a very nice evening out to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary (which happened to be the Friday night we were there). Overall, we had a relaxing and fun weekend! 🙂
