Win #2

-
Camden's team won their baseball game last night in overtime. Camden had a great hit and the boy behind him hit him in for the winning run. It was a nail-biter for sure! He did a really great job with his batting, but this whole 2nd base thing is not going well. Since they only had 3 practices (and Camden did not play 2nd base last year), they didn't quite make it to fielding the ball and what to do on 2nd base so Camden gets to his spot, plants his legs and doesn't move. He literally whips his head around watching people run around him. Hopefully the extra practice they called for this weekend will help out (they don't generally have practice once games begin). If I remember correctly, we only won 2 games the entire season last year, so this year is already quite an improvement!



Rory did so well at the dentist yesterday. The office was as crazy as I remembered it being, but Rory had fun playing while we waited for an entire hour before being called back. There was a little Hispanic girl in the waiting room with us and they were so cute together. The little girl didn't speak English and Rory doesn't speak Spanish, but it didn't stop them from talking away to each other. The nurse said Rory didn't cry or make a peep (other than talking their ears off before the laughing gas) and when they brought her back to me, she was singing at the top of her lungs and quite loopy. She ended up whimpering/crying the entire 45 minute ride home, but then slept for a couple of hours and woke up happy. The silver tooth is going to be much less noticeable than I first imagined. In fact, Rory is upset that she can't see it. :)

Oh, yes, I took my camera. This is as we were leaving the dentist's office.


The weather today is supposed to be beautiful and in the 70's so I'm sure we'll spend some time outside although I've also declared today to be Operation Clean House and Laundry. We've been out and about so much the last 7-8 days that the house has suffered and I have SIX clean loads of laundry waiting to be folded and put away.

It never even occurred to me that you *wouldn't* bring your camera!

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
