- her first plane ride: a perfect darling on the trip there, a little challenging on the return flight.
- her first trip to the hunting lodge: while she didnt' shoot any clay birds, Daddy had a pretty good go of it and Cami got to wear her camo shirt, so Mommy was happy.
- her first tailgate: always a winner when food is involved, followed by...
- her first Penn State football game: a solid victory, they were playing "Sweet Caroline" by the middle of the second quarter. Cami spent most of the game strapped to the front of Chris, who had a huge X of sweat on his back from the baby bjourn (a great visual, I know).
- her first long-term interaction with a dog: Sadie, Chris's parents year-old puppy, loved Cami. Cami had mixed feelings on the subject, but did pretty well.
Here are some visuals from the trip:
We had a great time & genuinely, Cami was a really good baby. Shelly & Warren (Nanee & Pop-pop) fed us well, as always, and were excellent hosts (as was Chris's brother Brian, who picked us up from the airport in Baltimore - Lewisburg is at least 2 1/2 hours from any major airport, so this is a big deal :)). So vacation with a baby is a little more complicated than flying solo was, but I think we will adjust to that over time. Now it is back to the old grind, and as Chris is outside mowing our extremely overgrown lawn, Cami is taking a very overdue nap.
While I know Chris will go into greater detail about this at another time, I have to mention we have a family fantaty football league. And a certain someone's team is 2-0...
One other note - I have become a couponing maniac! I never knew how much free stuff you can get if you will take the time to do it (and I mean time - clipping, planning, shopping...). Still, I was pretty proud of my Friday trip, which brought in this haul - $120 worth - 100% free!

We met at Spencer(my bro-in-law) and Anna's and I'm in your sister's ward
Looks like y'all had fun. You'll have to share your money saving secrets. I'm impressed!!
What a fun trip! Happy Birthday last Wednesday! I have been meaning to tell you that for almost a week now. Sorry, I am so lame. I also need to be taught about the whole couponing thing. I have been meaning to do it for a while now but don't know how to start. Give me the goods!
Yo Chris! This isn't really related to this post, but do you have a Facebook account? We've started up a group for the 65th ward and I wanted to invite you in. Just let me know-
Thanks!

Mom has been telling me about you and Becky and all your couponing endeavors - but holy cow - that is amazing! That makes me really want to learn about it now. My main question is, how much time do you have to devote to all of this? Can I call you???!!!
