Snapshot #1

-
(Snapshot idea borrowed from my friend Gina)


Outside my window: Sunshine and lots of hot weather. When does fall arrive?

I am thinking: About everything that needs to be done regarding the new church plant and how badly my blog needs a make-over. It's not like I don't have about a million pictures I could use!

I am thankful for: The extra week off from chemo which allowed me to travel to Oklahoma and back with no chemo side effects. Did I mention it took 12 hours there and 11 hours back? That is a whole lot of car time!

I am wearing: My short denim skirt with my new pink ruffled Loft top. Fingernails and toenails are freshly painted in teal. The fingernails might be a little over the top, but I figure I might as well go all in.

Last 3 purchases: Moroccanoil Mask for my hair (recommended for my dry chemo hair, and it's helping), 8.5x11 page protectors for my Project Life book, a teal OtterBox for the iphone I do not have yet.

Dinner plans: Leftover chicken tacos. Actually, I'm having a chicken salad with fresh corn, avocado, tomato. Everyone else is having chicken tacos.

Future plans I'm looking forward to: Rory's birthday, house hunting

Kid funny: Rory walked around the house last night calling herself "Rock Star Rory."

I am reading:  Stay Close by Harlan Coben and 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess by Jen Hatmaker

In the kitchen: Breakfast quinoa made with Trader Joe's Light Coconut Milk (I'll have to let you know if it's any good), and lots of veggies.

On my desk: My camera, one of Camden's books, and lots and lots of clutter.

On my frequent playlist: Matt Redman Ten Thousand Reasons

Snacking on: Popcorn popped on the stove with coconut oil and no butter. It's become almost a nightly snack. Better than ice cream, right?

Background noise: Brian fixing his lunch and coffee percolating in my Moka Pot. The kids are still asleep or I'm sure they'd be making some sort of racket.

Rest-of-the-day-plans: Drop kids off at school, drive to Nashville, see Dr. W, chemo, lunch with Joy, pick kids up from school, drive home, crash.

Wonderful pages. I love those "moment in time" pages that show how their favorites change over the years.

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)

-
Image
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
