Things They Say

Posting this tonight because I plan to take full advantage of having a husband on spring break and sleep in tomorrow morning! :)
  • From Rory: "I gonna go to Sunday School so my teachers can learn me sumpin." Very southern of her, don't you think?
  • Brian and I have a little debate about whether or not a particular Mexican meal is called a taco salad (me) or a fiesta (Brian). Camden settled it for us when he declared "This is a taco salad. We're in America now, not that other country" (a.k.a Colorado).
  • "I gonna take my bwudder down" while wrestling with Camden.
  • We started a new book this week (the plan is to memorize a verse a week) and this week's verse is "A soft answer turns away wrath. Proverbs 15:1" Rory's first version was "A soft answer goes away and turns into a rat." Later on (as she tried to "remind" Camden to be kind to her) it moved into "a soft answer turns away in Iraq."
  • Me: "What do you have in your mouth, Rory?" (thinking she had snuck a piece of candy after church). Rory: "Six cabities."

Indeed, very Southern!!!

I didn't realize Colorado was it's own country, haha! It is, however, a Spanish word, so he has that correct! A fiesta is a party, not a meal.. :o)

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
