Hyperactive

-
Yes, my child is hyperactive! I cannot wait for him to get off this medication because he is so crazy these days! Sometimes in a funny way, more often than not just in a hyper, crazy, moody way. Thank goodness he took his last dose of the steroid yesterday and goes back to the doctor today. I really think he is doing much better, and I doubt they'll put him on anything else. Just a few examples of how crazy he's been. (1) He threw a fit Saturday that included kicking Brian. The fit lasted OVER an hour! (2) He hugged everyone in sight at church last night. Not just hugged, but exuberantly hugged (we usually have to force him to say hello, much less hug anyone) (3) Here's a conversation from dinner last night: "hey,somebodyputbuggersinmynose.I'mbeinggoodtoday.
Ican'tbelieveit'srainingoutside.She'sugly.My'pasghetti'isgood." This is all said with no breath in between and yelled at the top of his lungs, and did you notice the "she's ugly" part. Yes, my sweet child told one of our dear friends that she was ugly. He said it in the middle of everything else and smiled away while he said it, but she most definitely heard it. I made him apologize, but he was off and running about something else while he said it. So many wierd pesonality things happen to him when he takes this medication. I'm hoping we don't have to do it again for a long time!

Our weekend was fairly uneventful, but felt very full. I was home with Camden Friday. We grocery shopped, library, etc. He was a handful! Saturday, we were all home and cleaned house and took a walk with Camden. Well, we walked and he rode his tricycle. Okay, mostly we pushed him. The bike has one of those long handles so the parents can control it. When he got off the bike, he grabbed his c.r.o.t.c.h. and said, "oh, I have a carpet burn." Apparently, it was a longer walk than we realized. Brian went to a NHL game Saturday and had a great time. I stayed home and caught up on my TV shows that I had taped throughout the week. Sunday we went to my friend's brother's funera. It was very emotional and sad, but also a very beautiful service. I just feel so bad for her family, and I know that they are in for many months of grieving and just trying to adjust to their new life.

I'm really trying to get rid of this cough Brian and I have! It's been dragging on about a week now, and it's no fun. I found some Vitamin B and Echinacea in the cabinet. Not sure where that came from - my mom must have slipped them in - so I'm going to start taking those and maybe that will help. I feel like I just had a vitamin meal - 2 cranberry (just cause I keep hearing they're good for women's health), a Vitamin B, two Echinacea, and 1 Aleve.

Here are two layouts from the weekend. Not much scrapping going on around here this week. We've got church every night, and then we're headed out of town for a couple of days.

Blogging, Not Blogging

Blogging feels awkward these days. Not blogging feels a bit like abandoning an old friend. In this season of life it doesn't feel necessary to jot down every cute quip (and that's only partially because they don't say nearly as many cute things). The kiddos (even that is strange - can I still call a 12 and 9 year old kiddos?) are more likely to say "don't put that on your blog!" Rory still likes the attention, but Camden is feeling the need for privacy. But they also still love to read my words. Not a week goes by that they don't pull out blog books from previous years and pore over the pictures and words. Rory giggles and retells the stories; Camden quietly takes in the tougher subjects. Here's the truth. I have less to share because life is both busy and unexciting at the same time. I cannot distinguish between what is important to remember and what will be meaningless in 20 years when Camden and Rory are grown with families of thei

Cousins, part 3 (the adult version)

-

So I'm notoriously bad about including adults in the picture when we're all together, and this trip was no exception. Here are the very few that include adults. Becky is always my test subject before the cousin photo shoots. At the baseball game (which was incredibly hot/humid and started nearly an hour late). Kids were pretty wiped out after their naps following the return from camp. (the adult who spent a week at camp might have been tired too) Camden had the camera and took these pictures of me and Becky, Liz, and mom. Lewis/Hale/Derby/Lemons family - you're all caught up!

7/52: Pastel

-
Image
This week's theme was pastel and there's not a whole lot of pastel in our house, much less with my black-eyed, black-haired Korean gal. However, she gave me about 10 minutes of cooperation in 10 degree weather and we attempted a pastel snow picture. The first one is my official pastel picture, but I included the other attempts because it was pretty darn fun. This is a new face I'm seeing often these days. By the way, she has 3 shirts underneath this dress, a pair of pajama pants and a pair of hot pink sweat pants. LOL
