Tuesday's Tidbits

-
The whole family was out distributing flyers for a church event and Camden watched Rory walk up a drive (with a little pep in her step) and said, "she looks just like she's walking down a fashion runway." I'm sorry, but when did my 7 year old learn the term fashion runway?

The other night Rory got in trouble for something, and I had a stern talk with her. She has quite a tender heart and cried, of course. After she came back into the room, she walked up to me and in a quite self-righteous tone said, "I forgive you for not being very nice to me, mama." Brian and I looked at each other and had trouble covering up the giggles.

My computer and internet connection are trying to slowly drive me insane. I'm almost at the point where I'm ready to throw anything that involves a computer out the window. And if you know me, then you know how frustrated I must be to even consider giving up my scrapping/photography/connection to the outside world.

When I told Rory yesterday that I couldn't believe that I had a 4-year old, she replied, "well, I can't believe that I have a 34 mom."

Camden has said several times over the past few days that he wishes Rory would just stay little. And if yesterday is any indication of life with a 4 year old, I'm kinda with him on that (although I'm hoping to blame her diva attitude on a couple of late nights and two missed naps in a row).

Oh, too funny about her saying she forgives you for not being nice to her. Briar says something similar, but I think she means that she's sorry since she has a tendency to jumble the words in her sentence around!

Sumner has the "I sorry. Mommy" thing down. Big crocodile tears and I just melt.

If you get the chance to upgrade computers, I vote Mac. We had issues with our last PC (slow, viruses, crashes, etc). We switched to Mac over a year ago and haven't had a problem! Plus, it's so much easier to deal with photos!

Ugh, missed naps are the WORST.
And please tell me I get to meet your kids when you're here in Oct. I just HAVE to hear some of these delicious goodies coming out of their mouths!

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
