Wednesday

I'm home today because Camden has got a cold. He's really been coughing and his asthma is flaring up so I decided to keep him home today in hopes that a day away from the germy daycare will help him get over it quicker. He's had a little cold for several weeks now, but this is definitely worse than he's been. I had actually taken a half day of vacation for today anyway because my mom and a friend are passing through town. They should be here early afternoon, so that will be fun. I've got a little bit of cleaning to do (you know I have to get it right if my mom is going to see my house!) and then I'm making chicken enchiladas for supper.

Poor Brian was so upset last night. When he got home last night, which was late because of class, he went in to take Camden potty before we headed to bed. He always does this and it just gives him another little chance to give him a hug and kiss. Camden usually sleeps through it. Well, last night Camden roused enough to whisper, "are you back from class?" Brian said yes, and Camden whispered back, "You have to go to class alot." And then fell back asleep. How sad is that! I will be so glad when Brian is finished with this teacher certification. It is definitely going to be for our benefit in the long term, but it's hard right now!

Another sad moment last night. My contender guy lost his match so he won't be going to the prize fight. Now I don't really care who wins! Next week is the finale and the fight will be live in Las Vegas.

Here is the Xavier layout I did Sunday, and also one that I've been working on for 3 days (which is unusual for me).

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
