This is the Day

-
I had a friend tell me a little trick for getting her day started on the right track - she repeats to herself as she wakes up, "This is the day that the Lord hath made," from Psalms. I'm sooooo not a morning person, and usually as I roll out of bed at 5:15 a.m., I'm muttering not so nice things to myself about how horrible mornings, work, life in general is (which is so not true, of course). Anyway, the last week or so, as soon as a negative thought hits my mind in the morning, I repeat the verse in my head and while it doesn't necessarily make me feel physically better, it definitely helps lift my spirits! And, of course, it's only true and something I should remember whether it makes me feel better or not.

I have one layout I managed to work on this evening. I've been waiting for just the right kit, time, who knows to scrap this picture, and somehow tonight was the night! Why does inspiration strike at certain times? Who knows! We went to France to visit my sister and brother-in-law when Camden was 18 months old, and apparently just didn't realize that Albertville would be so COLD! So poor Camden got stuck with many layers - extra clothes, his coat, a blanket, etc.

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
