Self-Portrait

Over the last year I've attempted to be in more photographs, even though being in front of a camera makes me cringe. Apparently, the bathroom mirror is a new favorite place to snap pics because when I uploaded pictures this morning from the last couple of days, there were several of me.

With Addison on Monday

One for my mom and Becky showing them how much my hair is growing (side note: the front is not growing at all, confirmed by my hair stylist yesterday; the back and sides are definitely growing).

After the haircut:

Not in focus, but a better picture of the cut.

And because it feels a little strange to only post pictures of myself, one of Addison from Monday. She is one gassy little girl, but it means lots of smiles in her sleep. ;)

Melissa, This Grandma thinks both you and Addison should go for modeling, and I think it pays good.
Course Rory should go too!
So so sweet!

Love the pixie! I have been tempted to cut mine short like that again. It really makes your eyes pop.

You totally rock the short 'do!!! I love it!!!

And, I'm with you. I'm trying to get in at least one photo a week... even if it's just an iPhone snap of myself! It's important, right?!

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)

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
