Soccer

-
Saturday's soccer game was a success. Not a win (because they lost 8 to 1!), but a success because Camden had a good time, and he played so well! Apparently he needed another year of maturity on him to "get" the game of soccer because it clearly all clicked in his head Saturday. He was aggressive, played great defense, and ran hard the entire game. He only sat out about 2 minutes out of the 40 minute game. And this is without any instruction. The coach is so frustrating! He's a very nice guy, but doesn't even try to give the kids instruction. In fact, he had his little ear phone on and was on the phone during the game. He didn't tell them how to play, who to kick it to, etc. And they haven't practiced kick-offs, side kicks, or even discussed the rules etc. during practice. But we were so proud of Camden for listening and trying so hard (if you read the blog last year, you'll remember that trying hard wasn't really in Camden's repertoire last season!).

The rest of our weekend was pretty basic. Brian has caught yet another cold (I think his third after only 6 weeks of school).

Amanda is coming over to scrap this morning so I need to run. Camden and her son are in Mother's Day Out together so we'll just have the "babies" with us and hopefully can get alot done!

just a cute picture of Rory from Saturday

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
