Cam-Rho Weekend & More!

Last weekend we met up at Tim & Allison's in Des Moines so we could visit with them, but also see Steph who was back from Colorado to visit family. Rohan also got to see Unkie Nate and everyone got to see Rohan and Cameron. They were such cards the whole time. Every time Cameron looks at me, with those huge eyes and blank stare, I laugh. He's studying everything he sees so much he forgets to add expression to his face...it's hilarious! Once he's done checking you out he has this awesome smile. It was another whirlwind trip on Friday. We had another friend (Kyle) and his family of 3 boys over for dinner as well! It was kid-central at the Peet's. The neighbors had several families over as well and even those kids were over. Talk about birth control...:)
We had an awesome lasagna from Allison (the food is always good), then the guys retired to the "Man Cave" and watched MMA, K1, and UFC highlights for about 3 hours. The girls chatted away upstairs, oblivious to us downstairs...:) We had a really great visit with Steph, and even made a trip over to see Nate's new bachelor pad. Single guy, first home, I'm expecting something that's missing an exterior wall or something. Turns out Nate bought an AWESOME place with a huge kitchen, garage, 3 bathrooms and an unfinished basement that I'm sure Nate will turn into something sweet. Our Nate is all growsed up...:)
We, as always, hit Babies R' Us to get things that Wal-Mart of Kirksville can't provide, like outfits for upcoming weddings. Nate bailed on the BRU trip, but we hooked back up and went for a walk around the Lakeside Fitness trail Mara had visited a few weeks ago. The dogs were really glad to be out and so were we! Rohan was bad and even ended up in the kennel...:) We ended the day with some awesome Thai food and then Mara and I headed back to MO. We got back around 1am because we wanted to be home on Sunday so we could go to church. OK, that's not true, I just wanted to make sure you were reading this. :P We had some studying and writing to do, and we enjoy lazy days at home as well (Lazy Sundays). We also both found time to work out. It was really windy so Mara worked out inside, but I was stubborn enough to take Rohan for a run outside. I was a little slower than normal, but when I had the wind at my back I was running a 7.5 min mile, but into the wind it was more like 10.5 min mile. Rohan's jogging stroller acts more like a parachute than anything else. But it felt great, and Rohan was awake the whole time, just cheesing to himself.
Speaking of Rohan, he is feeling a lot better. His cough is subsiding a little and he's in a much better mood overall. He has been so full of new things lately as well. Yesterday I went for a run and ran by his daycare, so I stopped in to see him. He was really geeked up when I was talking to him and when I left they said he watched me leave, then his bottom lip came out, started to quiver, and then he cried. He's definitely never done that before! He's also smiling at the dogs and sticking his tongue out more when he smiles as well. We definitely think he's feeling better! We have some fun video of him flirting with a girl at daycare. He's such a charmer!
We also had some video today of Linus treeing a cat. Lucy would be so proud...at least until the cat jumped out of the tree...watch the video...
