Tuesday's Tidbits

-
Only two today, but they are doozies from my girl.

"Sheesh! I am so blasted hot."  Is this kinda like 5-year-old cussing?

"When I stop soccer, I'm going to do Dancing With the Stars next. I better get started on ballet, don't ya think, mama?"

And I could almost have my feelings hurt about this. Camden and Rory were so happy to see us when we picked them up from school yesterday, but at soon as we got home, they hurried outside and we didn't see them until supper. ;) I think they were happy to be back in their own yard (and these pictures make me a little sad about those teeny tiny backyards we looked at in Texas).

Oops! Not happy to see me with the camera. :)

ahh little back yards are no fun! (we have one) Maybe you can still find one big enough for your trampoline! If we were to move now that is our biggest thing, we want a bigger back yard, we have a tiny one now!

I'll add that to my prayer list for Camden...Texas friends and a decent-sized yard!

Oh my heart- that last one is hilarious :) Yes, the tradeoffs of different places... wonder what good surprises will show up that no one expects?

Oh, she is so funny!!! Maybe Texas will have lots of friends within walking distance so the size of the yard doesn't matter?!

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
