camp reflections

so i posted MY pictures from camp - but never got to drew's.
he had taken 3 the entire time he was there-
(obviously doesn't take after me quite yet in that area. i take 3 of one pose just to guarantee a good shot!)
one of his counselor, one of his CIT, and one of he and janel.

janel was their 'cabin buddy'.
janel came to tuck them in at night.
janel was the one that if you were missing your mom and dad (it's not called 'homesick) came and snuggled with you until you were feeling better.
basically janel was there to make sure that you were doing ok and that you felt comfortable at camp.



when i found out about janel and her 'role' at camp i was quite impressed.
how smart to have someone like that - especially during the weeks the younger campers are there!!!
drew loved her and has told us a lot about her so i wanted to 'remember her' on here
since ultimately this blog is 'my journal';)

another funny connection was that we found out that drew's counselor was from around here -
and went to school with the sons of the boy's preschool teacher, who we all miss and adore ...
it put my mind at ease when i found that she couldn't give me any dirt on him -
and that he came from a really good family :)

a week ago today i was sitting here thinking about missing drew.
and when i look back ...
at first thinking about leaving drew was tough -
but the more excited he got
and the more i found out about the people that were watching over him ...
the more at ease i got.
camp was DEFINITELY a good experience for all of us
and i am REALLY excited for when we can send him again.

(and no it's not JUST because the house gets 10 times quieter)
