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
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
Rory and I took another trip to the doctor Friday morning because she was much worse overnight, and after flu tests and breathing treatments, Dr. H decided she has RSV. So he sent us home with breathing treatments and we settled in for a horrible afternoon and night. This has really been one of the worst weeks of my life. She has been SO sick and miserable! It reminds me a bit of when she came home - clinging to me for dear life, no rest, my entire focus on her and just trying to make it day by day (I haven't cooked a meal since Monday or even looked at the house and laundry). We're finally seeing some improvement. She slept from 4-7:30 this morning (the longest stretch in 4 days!), ate half a piece of toast this morning (the most in 4 days!) and even was fever free for about 30 minutes (it was Motrin-induced, but for the past 4 days we've been alternating Tylenol/Motrin and her fever has still stayed close to 102). Hopefully things are looking up!
