Spring Break Day 2

-
This is how out of it I have been. I realized yesterday that my watch was still set on Korean time. And I've been wearing my watch. Every day. And thinking that I was using it.

Today we went to a new shopping center that recently opened. I finally got Camden an Easter outfit (it coordinates with Rory's) and we just browsed. Camden was finally able to fly his new kite - he's been begging to do it every day!

Camden is having some adjustment issues. He is just over the top loud and obnoxious competing for attention. We've tried talking to him, telling him that we love him just like we love Rory. He's having potty accidents (two days in a row now), doing lots of babyish things, disobeying, etc. I sure hope this doesn't last long!!

Rory had a pretty good day. I made chocolate chip cookies and she had her first one last night. They were a big hit! She's clearly feeling more comfortable with us. When I have to tell her "no" about something, instead of sobbing into my shoulder, she either ignores me or shakes her head "no" to me and takes off running away from me. She's going to be a stinker!

I'm just getting around to posting pictures from our arrival to Nashville! Thanks again to Angie for taking pictures for us. It's so nice to have them, and it was so nice to not have to worry about it.
A very tired girl!
Meeting Camden for the first time.
Meeting friends!
The center of attention
Hugs from my mom
I can't remember what she was upset about.

Getting ready for the ride home - first time in a carseat!

Just wanted to let you know that the issues with Camden are normal. That is how the youngest sibling always acted when we brought a new baby home. Just remember that "this too shall pass"! He will soon realize that you still love him just like before. I'm so glad that Rory is getting more comfortable with you guys. I am sure the kiss she gave Brian the other night just melted his heart. Sounds like things are going good!!

My boys acted out like that when we came home, too. It didn't last too terribly long.

Great pictures ~ you have a gorgeous family!

That is how Asher acted when we introduced him to Violet, in fact in the hospital he tried to sit on her and shove her off my lap! It took a while for him to act like himself again and now they are inseperable and the best of friends!

I love your carrier! I make something similar that is called the Mei Tai and it is so comfortable to wear, that must be so great to have while she is so attached to you.

Loved seeing the photos, hope all is going well with you guys.

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)

-
Image
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
