Well…the time is here. Camp officially begins tomorrow with the arrival of the first group of campers. Eight weeks of “the most stressful fun you’ll ever have,” to quote a co-worker of mine. That just about explains it.

You really have to love this job to do it, whether you’re a Junior Counselor all the way up to my position as Camp Director. The dedication and willingness to put in six to seven 15-hour (sometimes more) days takes the last of one’s energy every day.

So here we go down the road of summer that we have travelled through many times. Successfully, I might add. The scars we have aren’t easily visible to the outside world — but here, at camp, we know that counselors are the most dedicated individuals you will ever find. And as a group, you will never find a more supportive family on the planet than they.

Here begins the Summer of 2005.

Well, now that everyone is back home, I have a little (and I do mean only a little) time to let you in on all the details surrounding Josiah’s birth.

Josiah was born on June 17, 2005, at 3:25pm EST. He was 7 pounds 5 ounces at birth, and was 21 inches long. Basically, he was a big baby for Sarah to give birth to!

As I said before, all of us are back at home at Camp Joslin, and looking forward to a good summer — hopefully with a few hours of sleep each night!!

I’ll post more later, but you can look at some pictures of Josiah until I have more time!
