Scooters

-
Riding scooters has been the favorite afternoon activity this week, especially since it's been in the upper 70's. I've been telling the kids they need to take advantage of the nice weather because eventually cool weather will arrive (although I'm starting to wonder at this point).

Racing down the sidewalk is the most exciting thing to do . . .

And Rory actually crossed her arms and asked me to take her picture. Believe me, I'm as surprised as you because she is very anti-camera these days.

And Camden did not want to be left out. I'm always happy to oblige.

Gorgeous photos!! Your kids are so adorable (and cooperative)! : )

Please keep the weather warmer until we have our photos made! LOL We've gone from the 30's to the 60's so it feels almost tropical this week!

I love the light in your children's eyes - they always look so joy-filled :)
We've been doing the same thing... "Get outside! You'll be sorry in a couple months!" :)

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
