Tuesday's Tidbits

"Hey, mama. You want to hear my Chinese English? Uno, dos, tres . . . " from Rory.

Rory's story yesterday morning: And once upon a time, there was a little man named God. He loved everybody. Even his enemies and a little girl named Rory.

Somehow forgot to mention Camden's first 1st grade report card: 100, 100, 99 and two Pass+. Sure wish he'd try a little harder.

So we let the kids watch the new Karate Kid movie and any guesses as to their new favorite past-times? Camden's is kung fu and Rory's is being the mom and bossing Dre around. So not kidding.

When Camden lost his top front tooth, he developed a little lisp. It is hilarious!

Because it's election day, Brian's school is closed and he's home with Rory and I. We're dragging him to the grocery store after we vote. We used to always shop together, but then Camden came along, and then Rory. Then he picked up a second job and I dropped one so it's a rare occasion to have company on my grocery shopping trips these days.

There are two new sneak peeks up since last week. :)

And this is what my desk looks like these days with two computers that are both giving me fits. I need computer recommendations, and don't just say a Mac or PC. I need specifics, people.

We have the iMac and LOVE it! We've had it almost two years. Took me a month or so to get used to it, but it hasn't locked up, shut down or had a single *virus*. I will never go back to a PC. : )

I have an iMac that I got a year ago. I *love* it! I haven't had any problems with it. I have a large monitor, and love it for editing photos (when I actually have the time) and scrapping (again, when I have the time) ... I do miss having a laptop that I can use anywhere, and have been thinking/dreaming about getting a MacBook Pro so that I could use it anywhere. Like Joy, I will never go back to a PC.

OK, your kids never cease to crack me up!!!

I have an iMac, a MacBook Pro, and an Air. (I know, it's a serious problem) The fave is the Air to edit on, I can situate myself so that there is no glare with that vs. the desktop. Make sure you calibrate the monitor though (I'd have to g00gle it to tell you how to do that) and have it set for adobeRGB... otherwise things go WIGGY.

Great Gradma E thinks we have a REAL author in the making with Rory. Such imagination! Fiction, of course.

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
