Finally Friday

-
This week has felt very busy, although as I look back on it, Rory and I have spent almost every day at home. Here's a little list of what we've been doing:

Monday night: church planting event
Tuesday night: finished up Beth Moore Bible study, first baseball practice for Camden
Wednesday: family day lunch for Rory, last service at church
Thursday: Brian trying to wrap things up for church, a whole lot of Camden drama, lots of DVR'd American Idol (seriously what is it with 6 hours of AI this week?)
Friday: NOTHING! (except a day of thunderstorms and tornado warnings)
Saturday: shopping trip for baseball/soccer supplies, baseball practice for Camden, supper with friends

My energy level is pretty good these days although I am still beat at the end of the day (especially when events fall at the end of the day). Between our final services at church, Rory's upheaval regarding her family day, Camden's insistence that he hates Texas, it has been an emotional week, and I'm kind of glad to see it come to a close. Here's hoping next week is a bit happier.

Last Friday, we wore short sleeves for the first time, and I took pictures, of course. We've worn short sleeves every day since, by the way. Tennessee has decided that it has no plans for winter this year.

This was supposed to just be a throw-away shot since I was only metering off her face to get correct exposure, but she looks so sweet, I kept it.

Changed positions for better lighting in the rest of these.

They're so cooperative for the camera these days.

Well, mostly.

If you're a scrapper, The Lilypad has it's new March collection out today, and it is FUN! I plan to spend some time scrapping this weekend for sure.

Stay safe today! Looks like it has the potential to get nasty there!

LOVE the photos - we cannot wait to wear short sleeves everyday. The silly photos of Camden are priceless. : )

Hope Camden enjoys baseball again this year. Our season starts in May/June and Ellis is ready to go!

Sorry that Camden is still upset about the move. He may surprise you once you are there and love it. We planned lots of fun activities for the kids when we moved here to get them used to a different place. Once they found out there were pro baseball games and roller coasters near by, it wasn't so bad. ; )

Enjoy your weekend!!

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
