Feeling blessed!

Well this weekend we were supposed to be spending time cuddling on the couch with our little boy and his casts that he would be getting used to because he would have just had surgery on his little fingers......however, since that didn't happen, we filled the weekend with other fun things. One of those was a fundraiser that a small group from our church did to raise money for our sweet Cam and this upcoming surgery. They called it High Five for Cam....super cute. The fundraiser took place in Blowing Rock, where Art in the Park is taking place this summer, and because our church meets in the blowing rock school auditorium, they were able to have the parking lot for the day, and they charged people to park in the spaces from 9 until for this event.

Well because we weren't at home trying to entertain a 9 month old who can't use his hands, we were able to help out! In the end they ended up raising quite a bit of money, and were also able to get the word out about Apert Syndrome through a little slip they gave people with the blog address! Needless to say we felt so blessed to have our church family reach out the way they did. When Cameron was born our church was amazing and ever since they have been such a wonderful support system, even through the times when church was the last thing on my mind, I knew that our family there was praying for Cam and lifting him up, and that made me feel like when I wasn't able to pray that someone else was doing it for me!

Even though we were only supposed to stay for the 1-3 shift for the fundraiser, since a group of our close friends were doing the closing shift, we decided to stay during that one to and go out to dinner afterwards, so that is exactly what we did. We packed up after the fundraiser and headed to chili's for some good food and conversation! Then we headed to another couples house for drinks...a perfect end to a wonderful day! And the best part was that Cam was so sweet all day, which makes it easier for mommy and daddy to be flexible with their plans. However he did decide that at 9:30 he had had enough and it was time to head home, which was fine because it had been a long day!

Today, we got up headed to church, then had lunch with some good friends then headed home. We spent a nice relaxing Sunday afternoon doing a little cleaning, and a little playing, and now it's time to hit the hay and get ready for the week. I would just like to send out a HUGE thanks to all those wonderful people that got together to raise money for our little Cam. We feel so blessed by all the love and support that you all have shown us, and the love you have for Cam. We don't have enough words to express the gratitude we have, but we are so humbled by your generosity and compassion, and we love you all very, very much!!! I hope everyone has a wonderful start to the week tomorrow!!!
