Cute Girls

-
Yesterday was a busy, busy day with a full morning, rush to the hospital to spend 3 hours drinking contrast (ICK!) and waiting for a 10 minute scan. We then high-tailed it to Pinkberry since I had to fast during the morning and was craving yogurt. A quick trip to Costco then back to pick up the kids, then off to the ball-park for a 7:30 game for Camden where we froze our socks off watching his team play very, very poorly. This seems to be a trend, by the way. Freezing our socks off and a very poorly played game.

On today's agenda is a shopping trip with my mom and Elizabeth. Dad is the designated babysitter and is staying home to watch Addison as well as take my kiddos to and from school. I'm also scheduled for a haircut which is always a highlight, and tonight we're all going to see a production of The Wizard of Oz. Sounds like a good day, right?

These two cuties played opposite each other Saturday. Emma's team won, of course, but we held them to 2 points which is a minor miracle. Rory got pummeled to the ground a couple of times by a big boy who likes to push, but she's a tough cookie and bounced right back up.

Look at her red face - the girl plays hard! Oh, and check out the enormous snack bag. Always before, a bag of pretzels/fruit snacks, etc. plus a juice box was the snack (baseball and soccer) but this year in both sports, they're getting ziplock bags with 3-4 treats. Maybe that's why they can't play - too busy eating. Kidding.

I've been lurking so I'll introduce myself! I'm Tracee. I live in NW PA. I'm a misplaced Texan (Austin)...moved here 12 years ago but return to Austin several times a year as all my family is still there.

I have one daughter, Lillian who will be 10 tomorrow. We adopted her from China when she was 6 1/2 months old. I can't believe she's turning 10! Sob!!

I have had 14 abdominal surgeries in the past 6 years. Scar tissue is the story of my life. That and seromas, hernias, herniated bowels, bowel blockages, non-healing wounds, wound vacs, mesh placement, infected mesh, mesh removal, you get the picture. My entire belly has been reworked so many times you need a freaking roadmap.

The pain is frustrating. Most days I can only tolerate the pressure of underwear on my belly...if I'm lucky, maybe a pair of leggings or sweats. There is no way I can wear jeans or pants with a button. I live in a snowy and windy part of PA. Dresses aren't practical. Then again, because I am disabled (seizures), I don't have a drivers license and can't drive, so I only leave the house to go to the doctor.

Just wanted to offer up a little sympathy will the abdominal pain. Hope your CT comes back clean for you. Will be sending you some good juju. You guys will LOVE McKinney! I have some great friends who live there! Such a fun and family focused community!

frozen socks and poor playing...maybe Camden's team just needs to play on hot days. Hope your weekend goes well and the inflammation has cleared up!

Between your belly and my mastectomy site- oy... My onc attributes it to surgery and taking too much skin and stretching me too tight... the surgeon blames it on chemo not allowing it to heal, and the radiation one. took one look and said "oh you just need to fix that!" Sigh, if only it were that easy...

Love Rory's red face- even flush faced she is adorable!

Hoping the CT scan comes out okay! Praying, praying for good results!

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
