Who Knew a Polo Could be So Cute?

Since I promised no less than all of Dr. W's office staff last week that I'd bring pictures of Rory in her school uniform (she's a big star around there), here are a few more pictures.

Don't you wish you could have her lashes? I do!

She's kinda mastered the fake grin, right? She tells me this is her smile #3. So not kidding.

And she insisted on an apple picture just like Camden. Again, so not kidding. ;)

You also might be interested to know that she's still sitting next to Hogwarts at lunch. LOL Oh, and she's learning the ABC's. A is for behavior; B is for attitude; C is for considerate. Please let her never stop getting these things wrong so we can laugh.

I am feeling light as a feather and full of joy for a few reasons.

1. Breakfast with a friend before chemo this morning
2. Despite the chemo feeling sinking into the pit of my stomach, lots of joy because I don't go back until Sept. 6. WOOHOO!
3. My dad is coming to town to pick up my mom and we have 2 family dinners planned for the weekend
4. Because my sister Elizabeth's physical therapy for her knee is in the same building as my chemo, I don't have to drive alone. Do you know how lonely it is to come and go from chemo by yourself?
5. Mom volunteered to pick the kids up from school and take them for their haircuts this afternoon so I have nowhere to go but the couch.
6. I felt better Tuesday, Wednesday, and this morning than I have in weeks.
7. I've had a whole lot of time with Addison recently. Pretty hard to be anything but happy with this face close by.

Becky starts her new career as high school French and Bible teacher today. I know she is going to be fabulous (wouldn't *you* want her for your teacher?). When you think of her, send a prayer her way.

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
