lid kid adventures
batavia ny. tuesday.
i’m trying to cram this post in quickly before i head to bed. after a restless night of being eaten alive by mosquitos, i awakened, fed the lidkids breakfast and we headed off to austin park, once home to the dirtiest, diseasiest wading pool in america. or maybe batavia. and i can proudly say, i […]
derek’s last day in town
we put derek on a plane back to winston-salem today. well, greensboro. by way of washington, dc. which is where he is right now, because his flight keeps getting delayed. poor fellow. we had a pretty low key morning, while derek spent his last hours with the lid kids before his departure. we began by […]

the ring bearer
isaac was a ring bearer last night in the wedding of my friends and fellow youth group leaders, adam and leah. leah also did a bit of babysitting for isaac in my tutoring days, so she’s one of his favorite people on the planet. anyhow, i captured approximately one good shot of the cute boy […]
patterson farms…
last weekend, we loaded up the lid kids and headed down to the mooresville/statesville area of north carolina to patterson farms for some pumpkin patchy fun. we went two years ago, with a wee little isaac toddler, and it was a lot of fun, so we were excited to head back with both kids in […]
winston-salem dash game.
the kernel and some friends: isaac, modeling the dangerously high balcony and it’s accompanying dangerously small guard rail: isaac and william are pals: and pals sneak cotton candy to each other when moms aren’t looking: anna’s preferred mode of transport:
swimming with william
