Home!

Spring break is this week for Brian and Camden so we packed up, drove 9 hours to Illinois on Saturday, had two fundraising services at local churches Sunday, crashed on Monday, then drove 9 hours home Tuesday. I feel like I describe all our trips as whirlwind trips, but it's the truth. I was so glad to see my parents and be home even if it was only for 48 hours, and we loved seeing our old friends at church. We've been gone for 9 years but it still felt like home Sunday morning.

I was able to snap a few pictures while we were home. Wait for it. . . . . .Keep waiting . . . . .

Uncle Matt and the kiddos - they just adore him, and no wonder! He plays and plays with them, lets them climb all over him, etc.

Yes, a total of two pictures. In my defense, it was 30 degrees outside and our schedule was crazy, but two pictures is pretty sad.

And I was going to complain about spring break being before spring actually arrives but since the weather forecast is 70's for the forseeable future, I won't complain. :) Maybe this warm weather will bring about some photography inspiration because I have seriously struggled the last 2 weeks.

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
