Hump Day

-
So yesterday was pretty rough. I was so tired, and Rory was quite tired as well. The stinker just did not want to take a nap even after being up so much the night before. We made a quick trip to Walmart and then I laid down with her for an entire hour trying to get her to sleep, but she was having nothing to do with it. We walked with Mayme for about an hour, and Rory loved being outside. Finally about 3:15 she climbed up in my lap and crashed. I didn't want her to sleep too long at that point because I wanted her to go to bed early or at least on time, but there was no waking her! We did get more sleep last night and she didn't wake up until 6:15 this morning which is a great improvement!

Rory has started this little whining routine. She's not being serious - she's just copying Camden and looking for sympathy. She'll come up to us pointing and whining about a place on her arm, head, belly, etc. and wants us to kiss it and be sympathetic. What a little con artist!

Here are the pictures from Monday of Camden and Rory together.

It all started with the hug

Then she got up on his lap
Totally unposed - just checking each other out
Right before he unceremoniously dumped her out of the chair backwards

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
