Two Firemen

Camden and Rory played together for the first time last night. There was actual interaction; no whining from Rory because Camden was near her; no complaining from Camden because she was touching his toys. They just played and giggled and laughed. They even went back to Camden's room and shut the door. We could hear Camden "coaching" her on how to shoot the basketball. And then a few minutes later, they came out of the room like this.


Camden was so proud of himself, and Rory thought she was big stuff in the hat. It was just adorable!

The rest of our night wasn't quite so good. Rory was up until 11:00 p.m. last night, awake at 5:00-6:00 a.m. and now back up again at 7:00. And she only took an hour long nap yesterday. I think either today is going to be long because she's cranky or she's going to take a really long nap!

That picture is just too cute! It's a wonderful thing to hear siblings laughing and playing together. I just wish it happened a lot more often around my house. With 4 kids it seems like someone is almost always fighting or upset. Hope you and Rory have a good day and that she won't be too cranky!

So cute! Isn't it fun watching siblings play together? N & L love playing together, but they also love to fight with each other. N loves to absolutely torment L. :( They both adore M though, so that helps. LOL!

Hey Melissa - I feel your pain on the sleep. When Lacie was just the same age she would go down at 10 p, up from 3-5 am and then back down for another hour. So, poor Rory - to add to her sleeplessness - is a new environment, new family, etc. It will get better - I promise. Reading your blog helps me see some reality as I prepare to bring our little guy home - hopefully sooner than 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
