Random Things You Need to Know

-
1. The Mesothelioma Cancer Alliance did an interview with former Olympic gymnast, Shannon Miller, on her recent battle with ovarian cancer. They have asked me to share it with my readers, and I am happy to do so. Click here to read more.

2. I do not know Jen Burgess Thompson personally, but have been following her journey (via FB and blog) as she fights the same ovarian cancer battle that remains in my own life. She has had many set backs and serves as a constant reminder to me that not only should I be more positive in my attitude but also more grateful that my ovarian tumors are stable and not progressing. Please join me in praying for her. She is heavy on my heart nearly all the time these days.

3. September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Get ready to get your teal on. 

4. I am headed to Dr. W's office for more cancer-killing chemo this morning. I would be honored to pray for you today as I sit in the infusion room. Leave me a comment with any specific requests you have.

5. I cannot even tell you how much I love this bracelet from Uganda that arrived yesterday via my friend Laurie. It is beautiful, and I love the organization and idea behind it. Read more about it here.

Would absolutely love prayers for our visitation for Rick's mom today. Prayers for stamina for me, and comfort for Rick and his Dad Jim, sister Missy and brother Matt. Saying a prayer for you that chemo is working and side effects will be tolerable. Thinking of you... love and blessings... thanks for the prayers

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
