we arrrived home in ws/nc, from our slightly too long michigan trip, on july third. just in time for the dog days of summer. after spending all of june complaining about not bringing enough cold weather clothes and bundling up for all of our excursions, you’d think we wouldn’t complain, but man, it was hot.

lid kid everyday life
a few things that happened in june ’24 before we left for a 3 week trip to michigan.
we only had a week of june before we departed for our michigan summer road trip. but we crammed in some things. firstly. school ended. i already blogged about anna’s graduation. ike finished up his junior year a bit more quietly. and hazel wrapped up a great fourth grade year, which is the year they […]
eighth grade grad.
school ended in early june and for ike and hazel, there was little fanfare. but. anna was graduating from 8th grade, middle school, and apparently we make a big deal about these sorts of things. the ceremony was held at wait chapel on wake forest’s campus, if that tells you anything. it was an ordeal. […]
miscellany of may.
as it turns out. may was pretty busy with things that deserved their very own blog posts. so this one will be short and sweet. to kick things off, anna and i did a bit of strawberry picking. we lovelovelove local nc strawberries. i ate healthy. walked and lifted. 🙂 ok. so this part is […]
end of fourth grade things.
as we rolled into may, the end of year school activities began to fill the calendar. it’s mayhem. especially for the crazelnut. firstly, her class had a field trip to hanging rock. obviously i went too. 🙂 the kids went to three different stations, where rangers talked to them about the rock cycle, water cycle, […]

bits and pieces of april.
first of all. let me tell you a tale of how, when jenn and brandy were visiting, we may or may not have gotten caught up with the idea of getting baby chicks and stopped in at tractor supply and made a complete and total impulse purchase of four baby chicks to add to our […]
march stuff. (mostly easter themed).
and now, for my march wrap up. hazel continued her taekwondo journey. she loved it. and loved master c. as the weather got nicer, i began walking at the park more frequently. not sure why i felt the need to document this, but march pics are sort of lean so this is what my content […]
easter confections (and eggs).
easter was early this year. so all of the festivities took place in march. first up, i managed to snack the “sweet treat” check box for hazel’s spring fling class party. (those other moms are quick on the trigger, so it’s actually quite hard to get a spot, much less the coveted sweet treat spot). […]
the cookie coop.
after several months of selling decorated cookies cakes under the annababy cookie cakes name, anna decided to rebrand. her new business name is the cookie coop, and she sells cookies by the dozen. every week, she announces two to three cookies of the week, people place their orders, and she spends the better part of […]
