Weekend Recap

-
Our photoshoot Saturday was hot, hot, and even hotter. Rory was so pleasant and gave us lots and lots of fake smiles as we wiped the sweat off her face and she tried to maneuver butterfly props. It was pretty funny, and hopefully the photographer got something he can use. Saturday night we took Brian's parents out to eat for Father's Day.

For Father's Day, I cooked one of Brian's favorites meals and made chocolate pie at his request. Unfortunately, he had to take a group of kids to camp Sunday afternoon so it wasn't quite as restful as it could have been, but we had a family movie night and had pizza and popcorn in the living room while we watched The Tale of Desperaux. By the way, this is probably the most boring moving I've ever seen! Camden was glued to the TV as usual (but it only takes moving objects on the TV to keep his attention), but Rory and I played the whole time and Brian slept (surprise, surprise).

We're headed to the zoo today with my friend Kathy and her kids. It's only supposed to be 95 here today with a heat index of above 100 so I'm sure we won't be too warm at all (sarcasm, sarcasm). The plan is to be there at 9:00 when it opens and leave before lunch so I'm hoping we'll not faint of heat exhaustion.

Here are a few pictures from the weekend:

Since it's usually a war zone around here, I was pleasantly surprised to see them "reading" together yesterday morning.

This is what happens when you let a 2 and 5 year old be in charge of the socks and underwear on laundry day.

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
