Sick Day

-
Pretty sure this is a first for our family: Brian called in sick! That whole thing about men being babies doesn't apply to Brian. He is most definitely not a wuss so I know that he is really feeling badly if didn't go to work. Hopefully, he'll be on the mend soon.

Rory and I decided to celebrate Family Day by dropping Camden off at school and heading to Nashville to hit up Kroger, Publix, the library, and Gigi's Cupcakes. Sounds like a blast, doesn't it? She was in a very sweet giggly mood and kept many of our fellow shoppers entertained as she carried on a dozen conversations on her imaginary cell phone.

Camden won the silver medal in the kindergarten reading Olympics (which means we spent a whole lot of time reading to him during the last 2 weeks). He was quite proud of himself even if the medals were only paper and not real (as he informed us).


Stay tuned for cupcake pictures tomorrow.

So proud of my Olympian! I'm not sure which medal Melissa looked at, but the one I saw was real and even engraved on the back!

Had to laugh out loud... my little guy does the invisible cell phone conversations too and it cracks me up every time.

Congrats Camden!

... and Greg is the same way. He has been at the same employer for 15 1/2 years, and has never called in sick. I hope Brian feels better soon!

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
