every camp...

we have a plan,

we talk a couple times a day,

we have funny conversations about our day,

the girls vie for his attention, 

he makes them giggle and snort,

we talk in terms that don't sound like real sentences, 

we rely on the fun family times together to get us through while we are apart, 

we miss him more than words can express!!!

this was taken this summer, right before baltimore came calling! 

and now, as I am trying to go through our things to keep busy 

i found these gems from previous camps...

 2006... nap time!!!

2008 during his 15 minute break before bed checks he popped by the apartment
to teach addie the proper 3-point technique
{side note: bedtimes are never consistent during camp!!!}

2009, Avery's first training camp!!!

my friend MICHELLE took this during one of the preseason games...

2009 on the hill...

2010 running for her birthday hug...

2010 climbing up the hill together...

my heart melts into a big puddle everytime i see this picture!!! 

2011, after not seeing his girls for two weeks...
what i will always remember about this photo is that as the players were coming out the tunnel for the start of practice they all headed towards the sidelines, except tony! he made a b-line for his girls, scooped them up with hugs and kisses and then said "daddy's got to go work with his football friends but i will see you in a little while."

The game of football has provided countless blessings for our family. One of the biggest blessings are all the amazing people we have met along the way!!! They are part of our family, our football family and as hard as it is to not see everyone please know that we think of you often and with love!!!

To another great camp!!!
CHEERS!!!
