First item of the day - a funny story about Camden. I asked him at supper tonight what he wanted to be for Halloween (and I should probably mention here that he is 4 and until this moment has never cared at all about Halloween). He says, "a butterfly!" So I try to nicely tell him that usually butterflies are girls, and he heartily disagreed. He explained that on Little Einsteins the caterpillar was a boy and turned into a butterfly. So! We might have a butterfly around here for Halloween. :)

My doctor's office called today and the radiologist who looked at my mammogram wants me to come in for an additional mammogram and an ultrasound. It sounds like it's probably just due to my age and they are just double-checking because of our family history, but it's enough to make me a little nervous. And, here I thought I was home free after my negative test results yesterday. The excitement just never ends around here, does it!

Two layouts from the weekend - the first uses a picture from our trip to the St. Louis zoo last October. This lizard was eating these mice when we went by and I thought Camden might be scared, but he wasn't at all. I, however, was traumatized! The second page uses a picture of Camden and his second cousin.

First...hooray for the negative test results! You've been on my mind so much here lately!

I'll be praying as you go back to the doctor for another mammogram (which I hear is really normal with first mammograms.)

Love you my friend!

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
