I am back from my fun weekend in Oklahoma and securely entrenched in SAHM land. Why is it laundry and cleaning and cooking are especially annoying after a break? I will post Friday with lots of pictures and more details than you could possibly want, but for now, look who also made it home Tuesday!

I love how she's looking right at me.

Rory got to help Uncle Michael with getting the bottle ready.

Taking a picture one-handed, holding her with the other. Look at that cute pink hair accessory. We can thank Aunt Becky for that. We're hoping to have an actual photo shoot soon.

And then to Rory's surprise, Uncle Michael let her hold Addison!

I got to change Addison, feed her, burp her, and hold her this morning, and it was all kinds of fun.

Tomorrow I see Dr. W., my oncologist. I've done a very good job of enjoying this month off from chemo, but now I'm gearing myself up to whatever news he might have for me. I'll try to post an update tomorrow after I see him, and I'll definitely be back Friday with lots of Oklahoma pictures.

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
