Cameron & Grandma |
The World Tour of Grandparents has officially ended. In February you took your first trip to STL to visit mommy’s
side of the family, and needless to say, you stole the show. Nothing else
matters when you come around, especially to Grandma Doreen.
You slept most of the drive down there, which we were grateful for because of the
limited resources in the family sedan. Everyone came to see you, even people I
hadn’t met before. There was Auntie Teresa, Uncle Mark, about 20 great aunts,
too many cousins to name & even your drunk Uncle Solomon brought some Crown
Royal to commemorate your 1st trip to the 3-1-4. (Don’t worry; I’ll
drink it for you.) I don’t think you wore the clothes that we packed because
Grandma bought you so many outfits and of course you wore them so she could get
pictures. I am convinced the word Cameron rhymes with the word spoiled.

But it doesn’t stop there. The
next weekend we visited your Great-grandparents (my grandparents). The joy on
their face when we just showed up without calling was priceless. Unexpected
guests are always unwanted, but exceptions can be made when it’s your great-grandson. Watching senior citizens trying to take pictures on a smart phone and then ask “Ok, now where does the
picture go?” is the funniest thing ever, but they had to capture your 1st
visit. Sidenote: I printed some pictures to give them.

The last stop on the Grandparents
World Tour was your 1st visit to Nana & Grandpa’s house (my
parents). You slept most of the time while we went through old family photos
and Grandpa decided to just give you my old room for future visits, further
proving that I know longer live there. I
was more concerned with washing your clothes for free because the $1.25 to wash
& dry at home certainly adds up. One final diaper change turned into; yep
you guessed it, another photo shoot. Not my fault you’re a handsome little guy. (Actually it is). When
people say “it takes a village”, you definitely have one. We’ll let you rest
this weekend. No pictures, no
autographs, Just warm milk & funny faces
