Rory playing with baby.

Hard to believe when I look out the window now, but it was in the 50's on Friday so the kids played outside after school.

Our Christmas tree (practicing a photography lesson). Did you know that if you have your aperture set at the widest possible for your lens that your bokeh is round? I read it this weekend and needed to try it out.

Rory before church (and before the snow hit). I called her my little Indian girl and she told me couldn't be an Indian because the feathers weren't big enough.

Camden helped me with my Russian teacake cookies yesterday. He completely cracked me up when he started because he dug in with two hands.

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.

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
