Pre-Teen Camp...Here Connor Comes!

I have looked forward to the day that my children can leave and go enjoy camp like I did as a kid. I was so so excited for Connor until the day arrived for him to leave and we drove up to the church and I saw the bus...I lost it! It wasn't a sloppy cry, but there were a few tears that grew in my eyes as I stood at the suburban and hugged my sweet precious first-born child goodbye. I didn't want to embarrass him so we said our goodbyes as we unloaded his stuff. He hugged me like I meant the world to him and told me he would be okay. I knew that, but "the child" had to reassure his momma it would be okay:) He had a blast like I knew he would. The first pictures I saw of him were on facebook and he was covered up in a pit of mud. He hasn't talked much about the sermons or any serious stuff for that matter, but I can tell there was some change in his heart!

AJ and Connor

This pic cracks me up because Grant and Lilly Kate are off in there own little world and AJ is looking at them like "what in the world are y'all up to ".

The little ones left behind:)

I forgot how one child leaving can make the house run so much smoother:)
