As you well know, Mr. Campbell, our days go very fast now with all the activity school can bring. And your dad is writing this personal apology for losing track of your blog.
This past Fall and Winter were a challenge since Dad got laid off from work (as you read from the last post). We spent the majority of our energy in keeping things together and getting a new job. Thankfully, that job came at the start of the year so we can get back to posting Campbelltime updates!
Your year in school has been a good one. As everything in life, there have been ups and downs, but your grades have been good and you’re still having fun being a Jeffers Hill Jaguar. We all got into the school spirit this past October in the Trunk-or-Treat event, where we let our pirate pride show strong! But before that, we continued our annual tradition of apple picking.
November was a blur but we still found time to do a little Dave & Busters visit for your birthday. Our friends Joanne, Colin and Beth joined us, while you yucked it up with Leah (Jo’s daughter). We came back to the house for an appropriately themed cake…
Christmas even snuck up on us, but Santa didn’t leave you empty-handed. Instead, your passion for video gaming and programming got even more fuel for the fire.
Speaking of video games, you’re really deep into your enjoyment of Mario, Pac Man and all things 8-bit. Your Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune obsessions have been sidetracked by the world of Nintendo. In fact, you often tell us of your desire to travel to Japan to see where Nintendo was born. Your favorite food is Japanese and you’ve embraced all things Japan (because of the video gaming culture, no doubt).
Other things that have kept your interest lately are the Winter Olympics, learning to code, piano, Legos and reading (Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Harry Potter). And as you reminded me while I was typing this, “OH! And MATH, DAD!”
As everyone will see in these new pics, you are getting BIG. You’ve grown a solid 2 inches since the summer update. You’re still a skinny little guy, but growing up, up, up!
It's Campbell Time!
