well. the baby is five. i’m not sure how it happened. time is flying by. we held an obligatory photo shoot in the camper. and it took a million tries to get good pictures of her, because she can’t resist making silly faces. so, five. the crazelnut is the hilarious, class clown of our family. […]
birthday
girls night out. disney on ice.
one sunday afternoon, as we watched football on network television, thanks to our proximity to a major city we could reach with our digital antenna, a commercial for disney on ice at the greensboro coliseum came on, drawing hazel’s attention. she was mesmerized and said “if that’s a real thing, i want to go to […]

crazelnut is FOUR!!!
somehow. it has been four entire years, since the crazelnut came bursting onto the scene. ok, that’s a lie, she basically had to be dragged out, begrudgingly, onto the scene. but now that she’s here, she’s making the most of it. i don’t even know how to begin to describe this kid. she’s a mess. […]
