To Astrocamp...and Beyond!

It is mind boggling to think that this time last year, I was 5 1/2 months pregnant with Andrew and pouting because I couldn't go on the zipline! Well alas friends, Courtnie went on the zipline this year! This year's camp experience was different in that this was the first time that I was away from Andrew, and when I say away, I mean: my first overnight away from him. And believe it or not, and this sounds awful to say, it wasn't as bad or as hard as I thought it was going to be! I think I was so busy with my students (busy is an understatement) and knowing that he was in the beyond capable hands of Kyle, I was able to enjoy my time with my students. However, it appears that Andrew made this time way too enjoyable for Kyle. Apparently, he took extra long naps and allowed Kyle to sleep for a whopping 11 hours! REALLY?? I am just going to stick with he misses his mama so much that he can't wait to see me and wants to get his snuggling on first thing in the morning.
Anyhow, camp was a blast! We went to camp that I haven't been to since my student teaching days. My students really seemed to enjoy it and loved the activities. The highlight for me was definitely that Kyle came up to see me and Astrocamp had it's first mini-camper! Andrew LOVED it! But above all, I got to see my little man!
Camp was a blast and I loved every minute of it. The bonding between my co-workers and I was priceless and the interactions and memories made with my students will last a lifetime.

Such a happy little camper...no pun intended!
