My New Teeth

For those of you who have had teeth for awhile you don't have to put up with the torture I endure.  My parents are continuously trying to look in my mouth. They want to see and photograph my two beautiful new teeth. It has been a painful journey getting them in, but from what I hear no pain no gain is a way of life.

I am contemplating giving them a view of my new choppers.

Alright already!!

Obviously the view I provided wasn't good enough because Daddy is holding my bottom lip while Mommy snaps a better shot. You just can't please the papparazzi!!!

I don't know what Mommy & Daddy did for entertainment before I arrived?!

 For your viewing pleasure; I have attached three of my best videos. 

(For me to be only 9 months I have an extensive video library)

Mommy's Month

Mommy didn't lose the 20lbs she was aiming for, but she  did lose 5lbs and some inches. She plans to keep working hard and reach her goal before God plants a sibling for me!! But let me tell you about a few other things she did this month. 

She completed her first 10k (6.3 miles) in less than an hour and a half. She averaged about 13 minutes a mile. (we know this because my Uncle Reu has a super cool app on his phone that was doing all the calculating).




Me and Daddy celebrating with Mommy after completing her run. It was too early in the morning for me!!



My Uncle Reu, My Mommy and My Gran

Immediately following the run she had a small part in a gospel play. Yet again, another first for Mommy.  She hs making me and Daddy so proud.

Last, but not least, September 30, Mommy turned 40! She thanks God for the 40 years He has so graciously granted her and she looks forward to at least 40 more. It is her plan to live the next 40 with just as much zeal,  if not more. For the next 40+  she has a lot more of God's wisdom to guide her along the journey so it's going to be even more fun.

She looks forward to the leaps and bounds on the horizon of this thing called LIFE. What will the challenges be, the triumphs! Like David ran to Goliath she is running to her future. She knows with God as her guide she can do anything.

Stay tuned...

Cowboy Fan

Not "those" Cowboys! You know, I live in a Philadelphia Eagle fan based household!

Last night I attended my first high school football game. My cousin is the quarterback for Cockrill Cowboys. So me, my Mommy and Daddy went to cheer him on!

I'm watching closely to see who has the ball and what they're going to do with it!

Mommy and Daddy obviously not paying attention!!! 

There's my cousin making a run for the touchdown!!

Dear Readers:

Effective immediately Campbell Castle Chats has been taken over by Jenesis Olivia! All future post will be from the mind and mouth of Miss J.

Thank you for your continued support during this transition.

Waving At Mommy

Jenesis took a break from riding her dinosaur and gave me a wave. You can tell she's getting comfortable with the camera. In the past she'd instantly stop what she was doing and I wouldn't get any good footage. However, here lately me playing the role of the papparazzi is paying off!!

(wait for the video to load; click play and get a wave from Miss J)

Baby Dedication

Sunday, Jenesis was dedicated to the Lord. I feel like she was dedicated in the hospital when my Dad prayed, spoke words of life,  and asked the Lord to watch over and keep her. So, she's been double dedicated. You can never ask Him to keep you too many times. 

The entire day was awesome and spirit filled.  It's such a wonderful feeling to know God has trusted us with this little life, to mold,  nurture and raise in the admonition of the Lord.  We are so blessed to have a community of friends and family who serve the Lord, and have vowed to stand with us on this journey. We had a small celebration after the dedication. See photos below and a special video :-)

Dressed and ready for her big day.

This little girl may look like her Daddy's twin, but she proves her Momma is ingrained in her. For instance, she has been scooting backwards for about two weeks, but today Aaron was eating and she took off CRAWLING FORWARD determined to get to his plate. Motivated by food (definitely a trait she gets from her Momma).  Click play on the short video below to catch her in action.
