Star Wars

-

Our boy has been obsessed, and I do mean obsessed with all things Star Wars for the past year or so. That obsession is always intensified after spending time with his cousin Logan, who shares his passion. Logan bought him this paper model book thingy (yes, the technical term for it) for his birthday and they made the mask he's wearing in the picture. Camden also received a Star Wars book that basically retells the Battle of the Clone Wars in excruciating detail. (Seriously, took me forever to read it to him.) After he spent the entire time correcting my pronunciation of all the names, I informed him that he was going to have to learn to read that book on his own because I was done. Have I mentioned that he's never. even. seen. any. Star. Wars. movie. And I think I'm happy to keep it that way because I cannot imagine the depth of obsession he'd move to if he actually saw the movies.

By the way, he's been begging me to put this picture on the blog ever since I took it Friday.

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
