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 […]
lid kid adventures
lazy sunday in the 14020
the plan is, derek helped us drive up on saturday. (and by “helped”, i mean “did most of the driving”). today (monday), he’s flying back to lovable winston. we will remain behind, hang out, etcetera, until a future date and time, in which i will enlist the assistance of jake paine (my brother) for the […]
on the road again
once again, we packed up all of the lidkid essentials and made our way up I-77, I-79 and I-90 to batavia, ny 14020. the weather was great, the ride was uneventful and the kids traveled very nicely…. despite pretending she was sleepy for the entire ride, anna really only slept about 25 minutes ALL DAY […]
comin’ ’round the mountain…
derek’s parents have a time share in blowing rock nc. last week was their week. we are bored and tired of the same old same old. so on tuesday, we visited. i got us all packed up and when the two lid kids awakened from their beauty sleep, we hit the road. the trip up […]

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
on monday, we were invited to the community pool of william r. and his parents. so, we went. and it was fun.
anna’s first big adventure
with beautiful weather in the forecast for the day, and a mom and boy itching to get out of the house, we decided to head to the natural science center in greensboro. we packed up the entire contents of our house (it felt like) and rolled on down the road… the springy teeter-totter like contraption.water […]
Cora’s BounceU Birthday Party
yesterday we strolled off to isaac’s favorite place in the entire universe, bounceU, to celebrate the 3rd birthday of his pal, cora. we didn’t bring a camera, so we couldn’t get any good shot of the bouncing action. but, our phones did a decent job of capturing the birthday cake part of the day… cora […]
