Rory-isms

-
Some things about Rory this week:
  • "Oh, cool, that's awesome" and "Phooey-sticks" are the two favorite phrases this week.
  • Rory has always hated peanut butter/jelly sandwiches. About the only thing she actually refuses to eat. For whatever reason, she's changed her mind and has had pb&j for lunch every single day (including the day we met my friend for lunch at a restaurant).
  • I caught her cleaning the toilet with a sadly-deteriorated square of toilet paper.
  • She has mopped the kitchen floor every day.
  • We do not allow "Oh, my gosh/God/Lord" in the house, but Rory is picking it up from the news/food network/Olympics, etc. Yesterday she down for her nap a little miffed at me and when she got up, she proudly proclaimed that she said "Oh, my God" at naptime but I couldn't get her in trouble because she was at nap.
  • Despite what it sounds like on the blog, Rory rarely misbehaves. She really is a sweet, good-natured child. What seems to really get her, though, are the few times I actually have friends at the house and she does not have undivided attention. Cue to this morning when my friend Andrea came over for a few minutes. Rory decided to "wash" her baby's hair as well as her own hair with her cup of milk. While this qualifies more as mischievous than misbehaving, these moments seem to only come when she thinks she's being neglected.
  • Now that she goes to children's church instead of nursery on Sunday mornings, she is full of new songs and stories. The problem is that I don't always know exactly what song/ she's asking for. She tells me "just reach into your head and get it."
Camden lost his second tooth last night. It's a good thing it finally fell out because the new tooth is almost all the way grown in. These pictures are a sharp contrast to my earlier post, aren't they. :)

Totally cringed over Rory's #3 and the first shot of Camden. Still shivering...

That tooth has been hanging for a while. I offered to pull it for him a couple of weeks ago. He said his daddy would do it...cute!

I was giggling away until I got to that shot of Camden. Then it was more like gagging... ;-)

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
