September 5, 2002 - Camden joined our family and things have never been the same!
Fast forward almost nine years - I took lunch to Camden last Friday at school. Here he is goofing off with his kids' meal prize:
Sunday evening we went out for dinner - our family plus Camden's best buddy. "Robin Hood" was our waiter.

After dinner, we came home for cake. Camden had seen these cupcakes that are made to look like ice cream sundaes in a magazine. He wanted it to look like mint chocolate chip ice cream (but it's made from frosting) and I decided to do a single layer cake as well so I'd have a place to write his name.
His friend spent the night and then on Monday (his actual birthday) we opened presents from family, went to a movie, and then went shopping to spend his birthday money.
Lots of Legos for our birthday boy!
Camden has been very excited about turning nine because that meant he was old enough to get a pet. He's been looking forward to getting a hamster. When we went to the pet store for Cullen's hamster a few months ago, we must have held 10 different hamsters to find just the right one. With Camden, when the first one was placed in his hands, he knew immediately that was the one he wanted. We did encourage him to hold a couple of others, but he still came back to the first one. So, here's our newest family member, "Rico":
Happy Ninth Birthday, Camden!!
