1) Sometimes I just really miss my family...
99.9% of the time I'm a "bloom where you're planted" kind of girl. I have loved living all over the country and feel like my life has been blessed and enriched by the people I've met and the experiences I've had living far away. But then there's that .01% of the time, like last night, when I just really miss my family and wish more than anything that I lived closer to them. Growing up, my brothers and sisters were my best friends. I talked to my parents about everything. I just always thought my kids would grow up close to their grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins. It's hard being far away.
That being said, most of the time I am super happy with where we're at and have the best network of friends and adopted family you could ask for, but I still have days where my dream is for me and my parents and brothers and sisters to all live in the same culdesac on Udaville lane. : )
2) Milk and ice cream every night, because I can : )
So I am on a 30 day + streak of eating a bowl of ice cream every night before I go to bed. Hey, there are perks to training for a marathon! Lots of extra calories to eat : ) Anyway, the Draschils taught us this yummy trick to pour a little milk on top. The milk freezes on the cold ice cream and creates an icy crusty shell that is DEE-LICOUS! Highly recommend : )
3) Cam thinks I'm hilarious
This kid is so good for my ego because he thinks everything I do is hilarious. The other day I started blowing cheerios at him and he was busting up. Here are 28 seconds of Cam giggles (and sorry if this video drives you crazy because you can't wipe the stray piece of oatmeal off his lip, haha! should've thought of that before I started filming : )

Sooooo cute! Love his laugh! He is such a little cutie! That picture of the family brings back warm memories. I sure miss all of my kids and grand-kidlets! It is hard to be so far away from each other. I'm grateful for modern technology. It helps a little bit. Better than snail mail and the videos bring me right into your house. Love it!
Hugs and Kisses!
Mom
i love him! he is so cute!
and by the way- i LOVE that ice cream + milk trick. my mom taught me thought a while back and it's sooooo yummy!!
Love giggly cam! We totally do the milk over ice cream trick, I feel like you get to eat more!
Such a sweet laugh. I love that you eat ice cream every night! I'll have to try the milk thing... I'm also thinking about starting marathon running just to justify eating more delicious things.
Who am I kidding...I'll just eat them anyway, without the running. :)
Love the little video! He seems to have such a fun little personality!
I can't even tell you how many times I have wished I could live on a compound with my family! Ha ha! Family is the best, and it is sooo hard being far away!
Oh. My. Gosh. I can't get over the cuteness that is Cam. You guys need to move back ASAP so he can be Landon's BFF. :)
Milk on ice cream! SAY NO MORE!!
Oh Cam is so precious. I love his little laugh. He's getting so big. I wish we all lived closer too. I feel like I am missing so much of my nieces and nephews lives and they won't even know who their Auntie Sarah is. Thank goodness for modern day technology.
I'll have to try your ice cream tip. I love to mix mine in a cup with a spoon so its more like a shake, but it has all the crystals in it. Love it!
