Speeches

-
Anyone else stay up to watch the speeches at the RNC last night? We were thoroughly entertained (in a good way) by both Giuliani and Palin. There were lots of inspiring moments, but the funniest was one that showed her youngest daughter licking her hand to smooth down the baby's hair during her mom's speech! I doubt McCain will be quite as riveting tonight, but we'll probably watch anyway for educational purposes.

Rory did so well during our errands yesterday, although she woke up from her nap again very cranky and clingy. We had fun seeing Tina, and then we ran into Joy and Sumner at Gymboree (clearly, she is a girl after my own heart).

I am so ready for fall! I always feel that once September hits, fall should be here,but in Tennessee, it's usually October before the heat starts to go away. It's still in the 90's this week. Where I grew up in Illinois, September definitely meant fall!

One month from today, Angela Crutcher is taking Rory's 2-year pictures. You have no idea how excited I am!! Her pictures look the way I wish mine looked.

Not much except laundry on the agenda today. The kiddos are both still asleep this morning, which is nice because I slept in until the late time of 6:00 this morning and I'm enjoying a few minutes to myself.

We listened to the speeches last night. I was particularly interested in hearing Sarah Palin's speech...and WOW!...she nailed it down!!! I am just so excited that she is on the ticket! SHE is someone I can whole-heartedly vote for!...and that assertion is not based on a speech. My husband and I were hoping she would be the VP pick before HUCKABEE even left the race...long before we had ever heard her SPEAK publicly...we knew her by her accomplishments, and what she stood for both in her words AND, more importantly, in the choices she lived by.

WHOO-HOO for Palin!!!

And whoo-hoo that Fall is just around the corner! Can't wait for those crisp, cool mornings and the unique way even the light outside slants in the Fall. ...my favorite season of all!

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

-
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
