Why, why, why

I know that this word is probably typical in any 3 year old's life, but it's about to drive me crazy! I have no idea how many times Camden asks this every day. Apparently, I need to on patience! We went out to lunch with Brian's parents yesterday, and Camden asks alot of questions anyway, but at lunch yesterday, he would ask a question. I would answer it. He would ask Brian the same question, then Gram, then Gramps. You get the picture!

I'm feeling a little bit overwhelmed by all the 9/11 coverage today. It is so sad, and I feel a little guilty that I just turned the TV/radio off when it got to be too much for me, because I know there are people who can't escape what today means because they were personally impacted. My brother is in Iraq right now because of 9/11. I do hope that all the coverage today will vividly remind people of why we are having this war.

No new layouts to share, unfortunately. I had to work Friday and Saturday and had no computer time. I did manage to get in a little shopping time on Friday and bought Camden some daycare clothes from Target, some really cute stuff from Gymboree, and splurged on one outfit from Janie and Jack. I tried it all on him yesterday, and can you believe my boy is finally growing?? He's actually needing 3t shirts from a couple of places. He's been in 18-24 for so long, and had just barely started into 2t.

Hopefully I'll get some scrapping done tonight and will share layouts tomorrow!

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
