Thanksgiving and such

For Thanksgiving this year, we trekked out to Lamesa for a week.  Cameron and I went up a few days early so that we could spend more time up there.  We got to see PawPaw finish the harvest and hung out with Grammy and Grandma Vogler.  Cameron did TERRIBLE on the plane.  I was "that person"...complete with the looks from strangers on the plane.  You know the look....I'm sure I've given the look before to some parent with a screaming kid.  But, I will never give "the look" again.  I was thankful to get off that plane and be in Midland.  

Cameron feeling cotton- not the first time- he was in Lamesa for the harvest last year too but he was only weeks old.

Grammy, Cameron and Grandma Vogler

What are we doing now?  I convinced my Grandma Vogler to come home to Sugar Land with us for a couple of weeks and help me get all my sewing done.  You should see the house...it looks fantastic!!

We had a great Thanksgiving in West Texas.  We all drove home on Sunday which was about a 10 hour drive...Cameron actually did really great.  Clif so graciously got up at 4:30 am on Black Friday and went to Wal-Mart to buy a DVD player for the car for the way home.  I think we're ready to go back to Lamesa and visit again!

The other Dr. Oberle...

We're aspiring for greatness:)

(Yes, I shoved a hat on him that was too small and gave him this cheap stethoscope to play with)

1 Year!

Wow! I can't believe that Cameron is over a year old already. It seems like just yesterday, Clif and I were heading to Applebee's to get a bite to eat before I went into the hospital to be induced:)

Here are a few pictures from some happenings of life lately. Actually I'll include pictures of things since I last posted ( almost 3 months ago!)

This kid LOVES bathtime!

He climbs on everything these days...

In September, we took a trip with Grammy and PawPaw ( my parents) to Hilton Head, South Carolina. I caught this red fish when we went fishing! ( well....Clif caught it and I reeled it in:)

Happy Boy!

Clif had to go to Paris, France for work so I tagged along, minus Cameron. I discovered Paris on my own during the day and Clif and I had a blast in the evenings. This is a picture of Notre Dame. It was amazing!

The Eiffel Tower...apparently there was a bomb scare the night before we were there. Glad I didn't know that while I was there:)




Our fantastic birthday party! He had a train themed party with all of his little friends and he had a great time with one of the train cars that he ate.




At the pumpkin patch at Dewberry Farms we went to last Saturday with some of our friends. He absolutely loves being outside and getting dirty. Maybe he wants us to return to West Texas eh? :)

We love our little boy and pray that God guides us as we try and raise him to love the Lord with all of his heart. What a wonderful year!

9 months!

Well....we're in Sugar Land! Clif is really enjoying his job and I am going to be working at a clinic one day a week for right now. It's so hot here, really just much more humid than Gainesville was but I'm sure we'll get used to it in time. Cameron recently had his 4th haircut!! It made him look so grown up, I was sad:( But he sure did look cute!

Bathtime!!

This past Memorial day weekend- we went to Longview to visit my brother and his wife. Cameron did great although he didn't appreciate being made to sit in his carseat for 3 1/2 hours:) And, he let me know he didn't appreciate it- by screaming the entire way to Longview and promptly smiling at me everytime I stopped the car to check on him and make sure he was OK...little stinker. I was giving him a bath in the kitchen sink and he just started giving us a show so I told my brother to go grab his camera...and here's the results...enjoy:)

The Next Chapter

Well- the cat is out of the bag. This Oberle family is going to be moving to the Katy area sometime this summer. Clif has accepted a job that was a great opportunity for him. I do not yet have a job. For those of you that don't know ( if anyone actually reads this thing), Cameron has something called Optic Nerve Hypoplasia. This condition means that he is blind in his left eye- his right eye seems to be normal at this point. There can be some associated things with this condition so we have been going to countless doctors to make sure my baby is OK:) It has been a rough couple of months but we are getting through it. Cameron is just perfect to me and I know God gave us a very special little boy.

I am not yet sure what my job situation will be - I will likely continue to work in some capacity to keep my licenses current and so I can stay current with everything. We'll just have to see.

This Sunday will be my first Mother's Day and I couldn't be more proud to be Cameron West Oberle's Mom. Here's to you little man!!
