Cami's Family Party

We started last week with a good bye to Grandma Aladodo on Monday as she headed back to Eugene, OR. It was tough for us to see her leave, especially since we don't get to see her very often. Ian had the most trouble as we had to call 2 nights in a row so to have her sing to him and tell him goodnight before he would even think about getting into bed. We think it is a blessing that the kids adore her and Papa Bruce.
The kids started Eastside Lutheran's Soccer VBS camp on Monday as well. It was a cool and sort of rainy and overcast for most of the week, which was a huge change from the very hot and humid weather last year. Cami had her first experience with soccer and enjoyed kicking the ball. I think she enjoyed socializing most of all since she was often seen sitting on the sidelines with one or two other girls talking while the other kids in her group played soccer. When asked what she liked the most about soccer camp, she replied "the freezy pops at snack time". I guess whatever brings them in to hear God's Word, right?
Ben had a great time playing soccer with the 6 and 7 year olds. He ran back and forth on the field and even got the ball a few times. No goals for him, but he worked hard and did a great job. He stated that his favorite part of soccer camp was having his friend, Zach, there. Zach is a friend of ours from our Korean Adoption Group.

Earlier in the week Dana and the kids headed to Wauwatosa to celebrate the Webers daughter, Kelly, birthday. She turned 3 on Tuesday. The kids had a great time playing together. We especially enjoyed the time catching up with them and eating the Suzy Q like birthday cake. It was delicious!
Friday night Justin's sister, Keri, and daughter, Natalie, came to visit. The kids like spending time with Natalie, age 2. It is fun watch them play together. Justin's parents came down on Saturday and we all celebrated Cami's upcoming birthday. We will be traveling the next few weekends, so this was the only chance we will have together to celebrate with grandparents and auntie Keri and Natalie before Cami turns 5.
