June

June was a crazy busy month, it started out quiet and ended in a whirlwind of fun things! June included Aaron's first father's day (somehow the pictures have vanished- sorry- hopefully I will be able to find them). We wanted to start a new tradition for Father's day by taking a pinwheel to Grandpa Campbell. It was a good walk and we enjoyed the quiet time and telling Thatcher about his Grandpa. We gave Aaron some pictures mounted on canvas for his desk at work. 

We also spent some time at Eagle Island. It was Thatcher's first trip and we hadn't been there in years! It was fun to soak up some sunshine and splash in the water. Thatcher didn't seem to mind the water too much. He just looked around and would reach out and touch the water. 

We also spent a few days in Stanley at Diabetes Camp. I was so glad Thatcher and I were able to go up for a few days and help out. He was a huge hit with staff and campers alike! We stayed the first night in a cabin with seven little girls and five women. I hardly slept because I was worried Thatcher would wake up and wake the girls up. He did great- he slept all night long and hardly stirred. The next morning we walked down to breakfast and he was snug in the moby wrap and just looked around at all the chaos of kids trying to serve themselves, count carbs, and take their insulin. We tried to stay on the perimeter and out of the way. Aaron and Grandma Campbell drove up later that morning to meet up with us and help watch some of the campers siblings while their parents were busy. Thank goodness for the moby wrap- it meant cozy naps and a great view of the mountains for the baby and I was still able to get things done.

(The beautiful Sawtooths- we didn't think to take a family pic until we were about ready to head out of town! On our next trip up we will be better about pictures!)

(Thatcher is a great traveler! He is usually falls asleep in his car seat before we can even get down the road too far. Hopefully he continues being such a great traveler.)

Our trip to Stanley was a success! I couldn't imagine skipping a summer of diabetes camp and I was glad I could share it with my son and husband.
