I promised myself that I would be better about updating the Blog but I have failed...I am sorry if I have let anyone in a significant need to know about our lives or if I have assumed that anyone cares and this entire message is pointless. Irregardless, I have returned and will try to sum up the events since the Fathers' Day post.
I tried my hand at entering Camryn into a Gerber baby competition, after getting her photo approved the photo was posted for people to vote via Facebook...if you are reading this I am guessing you voted one or more times. We did pretty well encouraging voting and I believe in the end Camryn had 150 or so votes...pretty competitive compared to the other babies. The online votes will determine 6 winners from different age
groups (iPad 2 winners) and a panel of judges from Gerber will select an overall winner ($50,000 scholarship). The Gerber website claims that winners will be announced sometime in the month of August...I am still waiting to hear and Colby is still waiting for an iPad2 to show up on our doorstep.
Camryn's Alphabet Mat (as pictured above) has been a sound investment thus far until Camryn discovered that ripping it apart and throwing the pieces around the house is much more entertaining than actually playing with the toys on the mat. I find myself reassembling it every night and while its great practice for my letter and number skills it can wear a girl out!
The Kahl family has discovered the greatness that is the Phoenix Culture Passes which gives two free adult admissions to a variety of museums and attractions in the Phoenix area. I can stop by the library at work, pick one up and we have 7 days to stop by the attraction of our choice. With this new option we took Camryn to the Phoenix Zoo for the first time on one of the hottest days of the year! On the upside it was "Snow Day" at the Zoo so we got to see animals interact with snow and ice in their enclosures but the heat was a little much for the humans there.
Note: Yes, she is wearing shorts (curte little plaid ones at that) but, her chubby little thighs led to some shifting.
Camryn wouldn't tear it apart if dad didn't put it together out of order in the first place. She's just trying to help. Or maybe...she's testing dad's abilities. Hmmm.
