Leaps Fri-Yay

 William has been learning LEAPS with his Mama schooling!
He is learning to spell
Science projects- William has done this epic crystal experiment and learned about...
Capillary action, 
Evaporation, and...
Crystallization
 William can identify numbers 1-15 and can count all his stuffed animals (1-15) with his tablet!
He has learned to draw all THREE writing precursors- Horizontal lines, vertical lines, and circles. This is an exceptionally big win for William and his motor skills.
Best of all William's whole school day is filled with everything he loves and everything he needs.
We are so proud of you William! And your Amazing Mama too!
Happy Leaps Fri-Yay!
Always,
Amelia

Bindi Sue's Style

I have a wonderful relationship with one of my very first Camp Always Amelia students. I love getting emails from Bindi's human and all the thoughtful correspondence and PUPdates we share.
Bindi is a very helpful and wonderful service doodle girlie, and a fashion icon! I just love seeing Bindi Sue's style :)
From her birthday PAWty outfit
To her pjs and matching Hop Hop Bunny (Just like Hazel!)
The sweetest social butterfly, Bindi knows how to work the room
But above all, Bindi loves love! Her human got a digital picture frame as a gift and now Bindi spends her off hours staring at all her favorite furry friends and humans!
Thank you for all the PAWesome Bindi Sue Style and PUPdates!
We can't wait to see what she does next <3
Always,
Amelia

Mommy and Me Morning

 You know you are busy when a doctor's appointment this morning felt like a special Mommy and Me outing. Hazel has been so excited all week to go "to the doctor. Hear Baby Brother". 
Anyone familiar with pregnancy check ups knows that you spend an eternity in the lobby for a 5 second appointment. 
Luckily this Mama was prepared with snacks
And more snacks....
Hazel was very pleased with her breakfast on wheels
When we got to our room and we read some books and played with our owl "WHOla". 
Hazel was a huge chatterbox in the room. She asked so many adorable questions, I was so happy she was with me and excited as she was for her little brother.
"Take a picture Mommy!"
The check up itself went quickly and smoothly! Baby boy's heart rate was great and everything is still looking on track for late May/early June!
Thank you for our Mommy and Me Morning Hazel! 
Always,
Amelia

How Rude!

 I would like to issue a small complaint.
HOW did we go from this...
Frosty cold days
Where even the ice was creating ice
Making the magic of a Winter Wonderland
to...
Yesterday's 60* weather where a HORNET stung me ON my pinky Finger
IN February??!?!!
Dear Mother Nature.... as Hazel likes to say, "HOW RUDE!"
Please keep the summer out of winter.
Sincerely,
My Pinky Finger.
(Always,
Amelia)

Big Hop Hop for Hazel

 Hazel's love for all things soft and bunnies HAS to be globally known by now. 
There is simply only one thing left to do...
Make the BIGGEST Hop Hop blankie of all
Hazel picked out "Purple AND Pink... BOTH Mommy. BOTH"
And we set to work figuring out new dimensions
Hazel was MORE than willing to help Grandma with the masterpiece
"Watch your fingers Grandma"
Time for the bunny tail!
"Ahhhhhh!" 
"So Softy!"
Its Hop Hop Perfection!
Project Big Hop Hop for Hazel is complete!
"Night Niiight Mommy!"
What shall we create next?
Happy Big Hop Hop Studio Sunday!!

We love our Devon Rex cats and kittens SOOO much. We are so thankful to have such a loving boy in Olaf. He is the best dad to his kittens, snuggle buddy, and all around PURRfect cat. 
From finding the best sunspots to bathe
"Ahhh purrfect"
To finding a human lap whenever possible
"Oh Human, are you PURRchance sitting down?"
Olaf is always there to give you a warm hug!
Thank you for being the sweetest kitty around
Happy Olaf Appreciation Caturday
