Letters from Earthcamp

Dear Daddy,

                Earthcamp has not been very much fun so far. The trip was really long and not very comfortable. I was scared once or twice that I wouldn’t even make it here at all! I’m not sure that I like my bunkmates or the camp counselors. Everybody is really loud, and it’s cold! I know you said to give it some time and I’d get used to it—maybe even like it—but I really miss you. I want to come home. Are you sure I have to stay?

Love,
your child

 

Dear Child of Mine,

                I know it’s hard. It always is, and not only at first.  All throughout your stay, at times, you will wonder why I insisted that you go.  Just remember that I love you more than you will ever know. I also love hearing from you, so please talk to me often. I’ll tell you everything you need to know about Earthcamp, so whenever you have questions, don’t be afraid to ask.

Love,
Daddy

Priceless, Jenni.

LOL

I’m gathering Mr. Xavier doesn’t like to be naked?

He’s beautiful, Jenni ~ warmest congratulations to you & Jim!

This reminds me of the hoober bloob highway video we have for the kids. Of course yours is much closer to the truth, of course, than Dr. Seuss. Great post, though.

Love this.

Beautiful! Now if we could all just remember the response…

Wow, this really struck something in me. love it! :)

Very cute!

Wonderful point of view!

I LOVE this!

Blessings to your sweet family - so glad to see that your God delivered your newest member safe & sound!

So sweet.

hahahahah, earthcamp….can we leave and go home early, is that an option?

didn’t think so….waaaa…

Precious

Wonderful reminder - we are not at home until we GO home.

Ah, sweet baby….just relax and remember that your counselors include His legions…….

Jenni, I love your style. Bring Xavier over for a visit on my blog so he can tell my little Bean all about it–December will be here before we know it!

This is incredibly powerful. Oh, how we want to be good stewards of these beautiful gifts from God!

Love it!

awesome

That little boy of yours is precious!

Very sweet.

I’ve been catching up on all of your recent birth stories and I must say, you are very good at covering that event!

I had four beauties at home with a midwife and my #1 Coach. Your stories brought so many of my own memories flooding back! Almost makes me want to do it again. No. No it doesn’t. I need to stop reading right now. I’m done. Nothing you can say will make me have another! Not even the hilarious line about Mr. Pushy showing up as if to a premiere. I’m also a huge fan of Mr. Pushy. He really knows how to get things done!

Beautiful baby! He is really cute!!!! You are blessed.

Once again, Jenni…..amazing. I love your writing. You are truly a talented woman!

Just found your blog today. I love it. It is beautiful, rich, and funny.

Sweetness. Earthcamp. Fun way of looking at it.

Awwwwwww!

So dang darling, I’m without words.

And THAT’S sayin’ something, people.

I just found your blog through Rocks in My Dryer. After the day I had today that post totally made me cry. In a really, really good way. Thanks for sharing it…

New here, Jenni.
Thanks for sharing this and congrats on your new little one!

OK - that one brought tears to me.
Congratulations on the arrival of Xavier! He is beautiful.
Babies truely are one of Gods best miracles.

Earthcamp! I loved this post! Are you home? How is Xavier? We want more baby pictures!

So creative…and true! Love the perspective.

He is beautiful - thanks for keeping us updated during his entrance into this world!

You know, I got sent home from camp every year with a poison ivy allergy (so bad that my eyes swell shut and all). Guessing that wouldn’t work in this case, this Counselor isn’t as easily bent!

Still praying for your fam
