So disappointed

-
So we had our meeting yesterday with our caseworker, turned in a folder about 2 inches high worth of paper work only to discover towards the end of the meeting that we will not be able to continue until we have completed our move. I am just so disappointed that we have to wait another 3 months or so to even begin the real wait for our referral of a baby girl. I know that everything happens for a reason, so I am just trying to keep that in mind, but I am quite disappointed and down this morning! (of course, being up since 4:40 a.m. to change Camden after an accident probably doesn't help!)

So, a little retail therapy seems to be in order (Brian, don't look any further). I shopped Vera Lim's sale and picked up some very pretty items! I was going to show you pictures, but I can't seem to upload pics today.

I forgot to tell a couple of funny Camden stories from the weekend. Saturday I thought I'd be a crafty mom and let Camden help me make cookies. Well, my version of "making" cookies anyway. I bought the Valentine's bake and break cookies with the little icing packs and I pulled out my sprinkles. Camden had a blast decorating them, helping me, etc. Unfortunately, I did not read the directions and we should not have decorated them until AFTER they baked (how stupid am I?) so the icing kinda caramelized and baked into the cookies. This did not affect the taste at all, but Mr. Obsessive Compulsive would not eat them because they looked funny.

Camden is becoming quite dramatic! Lately, he uses big hand motions when he talks, and it is just so funny. Sunday night, church got canceled because the wind blew a power line down. A little while after we found this out, Camden comes running to me saying, "Mommy, mommy! The wind blowed the whole city down, and we're never having church again!"

Well, I'm feeling slightly better after thinking about these stories so I think I'll just stop while I'm ahead!

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

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
