Deathly Hallows Part 1

November 21, 2010

NOTE: Here is Cam’s review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1: It was soooooo cool. My favorite part was when Bathilda Bagshot turned into Nagini and attacked. At the end Dobby died.

He is a performer!

April 2, 2010

Cameron performed in his first show since he was four. He attended a week-long theater camp with a Scooby Doo theme. He had a BLAST. And MAN is that boy dramatic. He not only had a TON of lines, he appeared to know every other kids’ lines at the same time. It was awesome to [...]

We love you Aunt Jan

February 21, 2010

We lost a special member of our family today. My Aunt Jan – my mom’s sister – died after an heroic battle with stage 4 ovarian cancer that lasted more than ten years. She fought it with a strength and a positive attitude that amazed me at every corner. Cameron has prayed for her almost [...]
