Kid bits

-
Rory's dentist appointment yesterday was a success, and her teeth are perfectly fine (thank goodness!). She walked into that dentist's office and never stopped talking. And by the way all the office staff were gathered around her, I'm pretty sure she charmed the pants off them. The dentist told me he'd never had a 2 or 3 year old have such a great visit.

I had yet another eye doctor's appointment this morning. There's progress with my crazy cornea's, but they're apparently not finished reshaping yet so I'll head back again in 2 weeks.

Brian has spent every spare moment working on VBS this week (starts Sunday). I'll be glad to have the initial class over with and maybe we'll get to enjoy some family time.

Tomorrow includes Rory's photo shoot for the publication, maybe a little bit of sight-seeing since we'll be in Franklin (although the 96 degree weather is going to seriously put a damper on any outdoor activity) and a Father's Day dinner tomorrow night.

Here are a few kid bits:
  • In the last week or two Rory has suddenly become a fan of all things "pwincess." She asks for her "pwincess" bowl and washcloth (okay, those are about the only princess things we own), and she also is very specific in wanting to drink from her Dora cup.
  • Her mean streak in telling her daddy no continues. She's got a little stubborn 2-year old thing going on.
  • After 5 years of being traumatized with every little scrape and scratch, Camden is now wearing his scars proudly and thinks they're cool.
  • He's also pretty darn proud of those silver crowns on his teeth, and I'm pretty sure he's shown everyone we know. Hopefully, he's recently brushed before showing everyone.
  • Rory is clearly feeling a little left out in the doctor/dentist department because she's been going around the house in a pitiful voice saying, "I need to see Docta Heil. He need to see my egg (a.k.a. leg)."
  • And speaking of those legs, have you ever seen mosquito bites that immediately swell up to a crazy size, blister over, and then burst? Yes, this happens to Rory and then she's left with these open sores. It's horrible!
  • Camden continues to spend hours a day either digging in the yard of playing with his miniature set of Magnetix (which gets smaller and smaller as he continues to lose pieces). I think we might replace it with a big set for his birthday.
  • Rory continues to be my potty partner and tells me "good job, mommy, good job Missa, give me a hug" each time.
  • Last night after VBS when we asked Camden what he learned, he said, "oh, Jesus and whatever."

Oh, those horrible mosquito bites! One of my sons had these types of reactions ~his actually made huge welts, blistered, then bled and oozed for days each time. We had never seen such a reaction! At age 7, he has mostly grown out of it now, praise the Lord. I hope Rory outgrows her reactions even sooner.

I LOVE Camden -- he reminds me so much of Josh at that age. We MIGHT have some Magnetix. If so, I'll save them for him. Also, his comment about what he learned -- classic Josh. Typically EVERY Sunday after church we say, "What did you all study in SS?" "Oh, about Jesus." *sigh* I hate to tell you, it doesn't seem to get better.

"Jesus and Whatever" ... PRICELESS! :-)

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
