Success!

She slept all night! I managed to keep Rory up until almost 10:00 p.m. last night and she slept until 6:30 this morning. Poor baby is worn out, though, and has now been sleeping on the floor next to me for the past hour. Brian said she did wake up sometime in the night and played for about 30 minutes, but I was oblivious. My hope is that I can get her on a similar schedule as Camden - bedtime at 7:30, up at 6:30 with only one nap in the middle of the day. I'm sure it's going to take a while to get there, though.

This is our first day home together alone. I can see that it's going to be hard to get anything done! She still wants to be carried or held about 95% of the time (and here I am on the computer instead of working around the house while she's sleeping). I'm sure it's going to just be a transition for all of us as we try to work out a new schedule. I doubt that she will always want to be held so much so I will try to enjoy it while it lasts. It is exhausting, though!

Camden was quite excited to be going back to school. He really is doing well with a new sister, although he is MUCH louder these days as he battles for attention. He has been such a big help. He loves to run after diapers, kleenex, socks, etc. for me.

Rory said "all done" this morning after she finished her bottle and bowl of cereal. She is so smart and catches on so quickly! She also started "shushing" us when her baby is sleeping. Way too cute!

I have some pictures to share, but blogger is not letting me upload, so I'll try again later.

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
