It's good news!

My test came back negative! I still can't quite believe it, but we are all so happy to have that weight lifted away. I do have to come in every 6 months for an exam, a mammogram every year, and a breast MRI every couple of years, which obviously isn't the norm for a 31 year-old, but I am happy to do any and all of it!!

Now to our weekend! Camden and I spent the evening together Friday night because Brian had a funeral to attend. I asked him what he wanted to do, and he said, "let's take a walk!" So we did! He was so funny jogging beside me, pointing out all the "fun" smooshed things we found on the road. Ruby came along with us because "she needs some exercise" as Camden put it. (Ruby has disappeared again, by the way).

Camden woke up bright and early and bouncing off the walls ready for his first two soccer games Saturday morning. The weather wasn't too hot, and we had jut a little bit of rain, but not enough that he couldn't play. He had an absolute blast and had the biggest smile on his face the whole time. Unfortunately for the team, I don't think he quite gets the idea of "competition." His easy going personality in life is the same in sports, I guess. Hopefully he'll get the hang of it soon. Now I am way too competitive for my own good, and I will admit that it was driving me crazy just a bit, but after we got home I tried to put things in perspective. You know, remember he's only four and all that! :)

Here are a couple of pages I finished up over the weekend.

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
