Our Monday

-
We had 73 degree temperatures yesterday (definitely the warmest so far this year) and the kids loved playing outside. Rory spent about an hour out in the morning and then they both played after school. I walked on the treadmill and did 6 loads of laundry throughout the day; we took a family walk when Brian got home, and I made Pioneer Woman's Baked Lemon Pasta for supper. Brian and Camden headed to Wal-mart to get supplies to fix my brake lights while I took Rory to her first preschool gymnastic class. And that would be our day in a nutshell. :)

This would be my "girly" girl doing her favorite outdoor activity: playing in the dirt (with Camden's car).

I love seeing the tomboy in Rory! So cute.
And ooh, that Pioneer Woman... we tried her pizza dough? YUM.

Funny how differently men and women phrase things. For example, Melissa says, Brian and Camden went to get "supplies" to fix my brake light. It sounds like we were doing crafts! :)

A man would say (in a deep "Tim, the tool man voice") I'm going to get the "parts" to fix your car. Amazing how one word changes things!

BTW, Melissa does not get enough credit for all she does to keep our home sailing smooth. I love you, Babe!

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
