A Full Week

-
Tuesday night was the Summer 2010 edition of Girl's Night Out with my two favorite friends. We always try to choose a chick flick (this year's choice was Knight and Day) and then laugh our way through it followed by dinner. It's a beautiful thing to have friends who know all your faults and still love you (not to mention laugh at those faults). We spent most of the evening giggling over a very surprise pregnancy for one of those friends. :)

Wednesday I walked with my friend Andrea then spent the day working around the house and ran a few errands. We also made a trip to the TN church camp where several of our students are attending this week. Rory was so excited to hear she was going to go to camp and asked if she should bring her toothbrush.

Today involves more of the same: housework, grocery shopping, preparing for company. Last year I bought a little Leap Frog toy on clearance that records and plays your voice, and the kids have spent countless hours the last 2 days making potty noises, giggling, screaming instructions into it, etc. If I'd have known how much it would entertain them, I would have pulled that thing out much earlier!

Our weather has been beautiful the last two days. It was actually 65 this morning when I left the house at 6:30 to walk. Love it! I am sure the cooler weather is not here to stay, but we're going to enjoy it while it lasts.

I've spent several moments in panic mode over the last 2 days thinking about our schedule the next 3 weeks which include the following: visit from family, celebrating Camden's 7th birthday (twice), trip to West Virginia, a week of VBS, a trip to Texas, a trip to Oklahoma, and 3 days of in-service for Brian. Anyone else tired just thinking about it?

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
