campbell happenings.

so here are the things that have been happening in our life recently.

1.  brenner left yesterday for zimbabwe, africa.  he will be gone for 10 days.  once again, i missed my opportunity to go since i am pregnant.  but we got a nice surprise this morning.  after arriving in harare (capitol), he found that they now have broadband internet in zimbabwe.  we were able to sykpe for 10 minutes!  the wonders of technology never cease to amaze me.  

2.  we are potty training.  i can't believe that we are in that phase already but cole has been doing really well over the last month and is making steady progress.  my goal?  get this child trained by February!  

but i am already learning about the inconveniences of this stage.  having to go in the grocery store?  and mcalisters deli?  and the cupcake place?  all within 2 hours?  not fun for mama.  (and yes, life revolves around food around here these days.) 

3.  i threw a baby shower for my good friend blanche this morning.  

i am thankful for the internet for the many ideas i found to make this shower come together.  isn't it nice when others are creative for you???

the shower was great and i can't wait for baby londyn to arrive!  

4.  i have a bug bite inside my belly button.  just thought i'd share. 

5.  my belly button is already starting to pop out.  

6.  i made homemade spaghetti and meatballs this week from a cookbook my sister gave me about feeding hungry boys.  they were delicious and cole has since been asking for 'beballs'.   

7.  i have started re-reading a book i read over 10 years ago, the winds of war by herman wouk.  great book and i better read now since i won't have time to read a book for the next 10 years.

8.  football.  we watch football, we throw the football, we are reading football books to cole (who loves to say 'tadown!' and throw his hands in the air).  and i am loving baylor and their undefeated record so far.  hoping they can keep it up a little while longer!  

here is cole at the bu game last week, saying 'loud' and covering his ears at the loudspeaker.  

9.  i am anxiously awaiting oct 3, brenner's return, and oct 4, the day we find out the sex of the babies! 

10.  we started going to bible study fellowship on wednesday mornings.  cole loves it and says 'bible?' the whole way over there (which was one of his first words he said really clearly).  i am SO glad to get back into a bible study and thankful that cole is getting to learn more about the bible.  

so there is a glimpse into the campbell house!
