Lost Tooth and Farewell for Camp

Last night Josh finally lost another tooth!  He has a growing tumor in his cheek (having surgery to remove next week) that has prevented his permanent teeth from moving out his baby teeth.  He finally wiggled this long enough that it came out ... his first concern "Do I still get surgery?"  He can't wait to go to "Daddy's hospital" for surgery!  He even asked if Daddy was going to do the surgery ... I wanted to say "Well, your survival rate tends to be higher when a SURGEON performs surgery so NO!"  Throughout the years Josh has given his Dad credit for being the pilot of the Flight for Life helicopter, performing surgery, cooking the food for the patients, etc.  In his mind Daddy can do anything!!  

On Sunday we dropped Caleb off for a week of overnight camp at Pine Cove.  He is in Cabin #6 and his counselor is "Good Knight" and an Aggie ... what more could we ask for?!
Here are a few cabin mates ...
We pimped, I mean "camped", our ride before making the trek out to Pine Cove!  The kids and I laughed because this was very hard for hubby to do ... paint on the car goes against everything in him ... he did end up painting and decorating himself by the end!  In fact, after seeing some of the awesome camped-out rides, he claimed we might need a better window paint next time to make it even better- woohoo!!
We miss you Caleb but know you are having the most awesome week of the year!  
to camp, to new friendships, to summer, to the Tooth Fairy and most of all to Saturday (when we get our precious Caleb back) ...

What? A tumor and surgery...and you say this so nonchalantly (how do you spell that??). What kind of recovery is it? When will the surgery be? I will say a special prayer for Josh.
