lid kid everyday life
the annababy is sixteen.
whelp. time just keeps on cruising past, faster and faster, and well, anna is sixteen. she has been waiting for this one, so impatiently, and for so very long. since the actual day of her birthday had lots of big plans (*potentially), the grandlidboms came over the night before to exchange gifts and have some […]
all things april. mostly.
now that i’ve written separate posts for easter festivities, my camping trip, anna’s grease performance, and our anniverary(ish) getaway, i didn’t leave much left to report from april. i kicked things off with an aprils fools day hang with my good old pal sara without an h. we hit up the new-ish bagel boss in […]
beauty school dropout.
last fall, the annababy (formerly introverted and averse to attention) stepped out of her comfort zone and auditioned for a play with her high school. this spring, they were performing the grease musical, and she was part of the ensemble cast. derek and i, along with the grandlidboms, attended the opening night. the kids all […]
the worst documentation of easter you’ve ever seen.
this year was different. for the past few years (and even dating back to some of the years before we went on the road), we have hosted easter, along with a pretty epic egg hunt. it’s obviously evolved over the last almost two decades. this year, the “kids” are 21, 19, 18, almost 16, and […]

strumbellas, reprise.
our fam has been fans of the strumbellas since way back in the day when we lived on the road. last year, we had the opportunity to see them live in chapel hill and it was the most fun concert (show, if i’m being pretentious) that i’ve ever been to. so, when they announced their […]
long cold boring january.
i’ll warn you in advance. this might be the most boring month recap post of my 20+ years of blogging. for starters, like half of the month was snow days for the kids. some legit. some not. by the end of it, they were losing their minds a little. just before the new year, i […]
nineteen years of ike-zilla
hard to believe it, but this guy has been on the scene for nineteen whole years. for his birthday, he arranged a flag football game with an assortment of his pals. then, as sometimes happens in January, the weather was quite uncooperative. but, they found a time to squeeze it in, despite the frigid temps, […]
