Amber and Taylor (Tay Tay)

Today's post is a sad one.  My heart is completely broken.  This past Saturday one of our best family friends passed away.  He was only 24 years old.  Taylor (my fam and I call him Tay Tay) was loved immediately by everyone he met.  His personality and smile was addicting and he had an awesome love for God.  Sometimes it just doesn't seem fair so young and so full of life. But I have to remember God has a purpose for all of us before we are ever born.  He just let us "borrow" Taylor for a while.  I know without a doubt Tay Tay is by God's side making him laugh and probably trying to sell him something :) We just miss him so much already.  You will be greatly missed Taylor-- the world just got a litte dimmer without you! See you again someday Tay Tay....

1st Trip to the Houston Zoo!!

Yesterday was a zoo--- literally! It was so much fun but exhausting.  Campbell and I met up with some of our favorite friends-- Laura and her four 15 month olds, Dawn (Laura's nanny), Elizabeth and her baby girl Campbell who is 3 months older than my Campbell (11 weeks), Lane and her babies Cole (20 months) and Lucy Rose (6 weeks), Tootsie (Lane's mom), Jen and her babies Katelyn (18 months) and Madelyn (11 weeks) and her mother-in-law Debbie. We will definitely get together again soon just next time somewhere alittle more low key and doesn't involve any school fieldtrippers :)

L to R: Dawn, Landon, Laura, Parker, Kale, Campbell, me, Gracie, Cole, Lane, Katelyn, and Jen

Elizabeth and her precious Campbell (she's such a happy baby!)

Camp LOVES her godparents!

Campbell absolutely LOVES her godparents Laura and Marcel! She sees her Lollie at least 2 or 3 times a week and lights up like a Christmas tree when she sees her.... it's priceless :)

For those of you that doesn't know who Laura and Marcel are they are our dearest friends.  I often write about Laura and the quads (yes, she has quads and looks fabulous!).  Marcel and RJ have been best friends since elementary school and Laura and I meet in one of our communication classes as A&M.  She is one of my best friends and I would go so far as to say we are closer than RJ and Marcel even though they have known each other for decades (gosh-- that makes us sound old!). We love the whole Meijer bunch :) Afterall, Campbell is going to marry one of the Meijer boys' some day.... we just don't know which one yet ;)

Family Love

My sweet Aunt Joanie and cousins Emily and Jake came by a couple of weeks ago to meet Campbell.  It was so great getting to visit with them and it meant so much to have family meet Campbell.  Besides some cousins on my mom's side, my parents and my sister, these are the only family members Campbell has gotten to meet so far so it really meant alot!  They also brought me the prettiest flowers and bracelet for Cam.  Thanks guys for coming!! We miss and love you!!!
